What's taking Gettis so long?

Now I don't know if his injury was more severe than TD's, but how in the world does the guy coming off his 3rd ACL tear, many years older, and what, 2 months less time since the injury, get back on the field before Gettis?

It's just frustrating to me because I really thought he'd not only be our #2 this year, but take over for Smitty as our #1 outside WR at some point during the season to allow Smitty to move inside and wreak havoc like Welker does against nickle backs.

His size and speed combination would be absolutely killer with Cam throwing him the ball, I really see him as a faster version of Colston

He pulled a hammy so I think they just wanna make sure he doesn't get injured whatsoever.

He needs to be practicing right now though or Murphy/Tutu will take his spot.

yeah, optimism sucks.

no, homer-ism sucks, we have been so desperate for a second WR for so long, anybody that lines up opposite no.89 our fans think he is heir to the throne, when in reality, they couldn't make any other team but ours...Adams might have a chance as a slot guy, but Gettis, Pilares and Edwards shouldn't be more then practice squad players

You're right. Your "This guy sucks, that guy sucks. You're all stupid." mentality is so much less annoying.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
