With LaFell Doubtful going into Sunday, I began wondering if Rivera will finally pull the trigger and put Gettis in there... If he wants a chance in hell to win this game he must start Gettis imo.

So what are the chances Huddlers? Most importantly what are the chances we can win without LaFell and or Gettis in there?

Edit: for those of you who don't know LaFell is suffering from turf toe/foot issue from the play where he dropped the deep pass from Cam.

I don't know what's up with Gettis and Rivera. Several weeks ago, Ron said he would be used as a kick returner, but it never happened.

For Atlanta, Ron said they'll use Armond Smith on returns. Gettis must really suck in practice or he has pissed Rivera off over something.

there sure is a lot of stupid in this thread...........

Gettis was not out performing Smitty, Lafell or Murphy in practice and he is not going to leap over Joe or AE because of their return duties. That's why he was not dressing, not because RR has something against him.

He may have a shot now with the injury to Lafell.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
