Lafail?

After one game, all you Gettis closet nuthuggers bring out the Lafail moniker again. You realize his development will prove to be a vital asset and having both Gettis and Lafell ready to go with Smitty will only help us. They will be used interchangeably and will only help in getting Olsen and Smith into space.

If the D still feels like covering Smith, we will at least have a competent third receiver, Gettis or Lafell, for the first time in Cams career.

We should be celebrating this revelation instead of pooing on one guy to put the other on a pedestal. Still need oline help to maximize our wideouts.

I ain't knocking gettis but all this hype against the backups of a suspect secondary is premature

His 600 yards with crap QBs with a Jeff Davidson run offense as a rookie was a miracle. I think you look to see if all his tangible traits are as good as they were. Until he plays against the ones it's anyone's guess. With our offensive line, next week may not be a great judgement week because Cam will be running for his life.

This has been a good preseason for our WR corps.

Besides Smith, Lefell has improved, AE has developed out of nowhere and now we are trying to figure where to put Gettis and Hixon coming back this week. Beats the heck out of the past several seasons when there was Smith and only Smith.

The problem so far is that our QB crew has been a bit off. Basically a 50% performance from our 3 QB's.

Granted that the Oline is stinking it up, but I would worry about QB accuracy at this point above the WR corps.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
