Goodson working his way out of the doghouse?

Never understood the Goody KR benching....only guy we have that looks to have the ability to hit the homerun

Also the only guy we have that can (and has) single-handedly lost a game for us. I got flamed for saying this earlier in the year and last year - if you fumble you don't play in the NFL irregardless of how talented you are.

I get that. I still think he is dangerous enough as a potential KR to be worth the risk though.....last season Goodson just seemed to really look comfortable in the role. Not sure I want him getting reps on offense......

but much like the QB position.....the return spot has been neglected for far too long. Hopefully in year 2 we can add that dimension to this team

I like the fact that Rivera was willing to bench Goodson in order to motivate him... Fox would have kept chewing his gum and clapping his hands hoping Goodson got better.

I'm not sure about practice, but the thing that worries me about Goodson is that the fumbling starts when the bright lights come on... hard to fix that.

Good to see Goodson working his way back onto the field. Also glad to hear Butler's daughter's surgery went well, wishing her a speedy recovery.

I hear you but he has fumbled on returns as well. I don't want him in the game in any respect at this point. I agree, we need to address our return game, but I think they had/have faith in Edwards and possibly Pilares. At some point the Edwards project has to escalate to playing time or cut and run. I for one, would like to see us pick up Dwayne Harris of waiver to help in this area.

In his presser, Rivera said he put absolutely no restrictions on how much time Butler needed.

That tells me he's a human being first, and I'm happy to see that.

I really like this about Rivera. Most coaches would have given the time during the week, but demanded Butler be back or be done. That is the standard line in the NFL & it's refreshing to see a coach who really gets it.

I would love for Butler to be playing today, but that little girl is the most important thing in the world. I'm praying them.

When a guy is out, it gives other guys opportunities to standout (or fail). I hope Stanford or Thomas show that we have some depth out there.

hmm interesting. he has always had terrible hands

Based on what? He fumbles?

Why no mention of Hogan? Still not in game shape, but maybe we will see some spot duty.

Only b/c he hasn't played all year 'yet' & they haven't released the active/inactive list for the game yet. I hope we do get to see him too tho.

You kind of wonder where Goodson fits in the new offense. He's a decent runner but not dominant by any means. His best skils come in yards after the catch and he did well catching screens last season. Cam hasn't done a lot of that so far with Chud's new schemes.

[Lumps]

Well if Coach needs me I'm ready.....I can play cb.

ill drag my fatass out there for DT play (rotation only)

and i kno salty is always ready to play center
