What's the word on Brandon Lafell heading into 11-12?

I don't think Gettis or LaFell have shown enough to be on the "fast track" to replace Smith, but most of us were pleased with their performance last year given the quarterback play. They both showed flashes last year, perhaps Gettis more so than LaFell. I'm optimistic about both of them.

They probably had the worst QB situation in the NFL last year...Lafell should be a nice big target for Cam. I could be wrong but I remember Darvin Adams and Emory Blake being pretty big targets for him last year and they're similiar to Lafell in height.

LaFell has made some ridiculous catches, but dropped the easy ones. Which just baffles me. Gettis is probably the better of the two. His speed and route running is pretty advanced compared to other rookies. If we would have had a better QB last year, I think he would have had at least 7 td's and close to 1k yards.

LaFell reminds me a lot of Mushin Muhammad.

He and Moose are both medicore with speed, but have possesion ability.

Both are solid for a catch, but are not huge playmakers like Steve Smith.

Gettis is like Marques Colston. They both have a lot of speed and can make some pretty good plays downfield.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
