Looks like this deal is all but done. Cam's not gonna be too happy about this. I know I'm not.

I started actually reading the article and came accross this gem

Umenyiora was named to the Pro Bowl after the 2005 and 2017 seasons

Wait, what?!?

Eh. Not that worried about it, honestly. Osi may get to him a couple of times, but he's not going to blow our offense up by himself. I'm thinking G-man (that's what I call him, because we're bros) has plans to improve our OL, which is really our biggest weak spot offensively. Sure, the WR corps could be better, but between Smitty, Olsen, Lafell, and the recent arrival of Ginn, not to mention our options out of the backfield, it could be a LOT worse there (and I still think we'll pick up a receiver in the draft).

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
