I would love to know what is his hard on for Fua and Naka.

 

These 2 are getting more oppourtunity then other players who deserve it.

 

Gettis barly gets run with the 1st team. Fua starts a preseason game and get meaniful snaps in another and Naka get switched in with the 1st team defense on every series.

 

 

Where is Ron's love affair with these guys coming from?

Nakamura is great on special teams and he's a cheap, veteran back up at free safety.

Fua will be cut. Rivera is just giving him reps to see if he is showing any signs of improvement and value to keep on the practice squad.

If someone else showed Rivera something in training camp or practice they would be playing ahead of them. Rivera is a defensive guru, and also fighting for his job. Give it a rest.

As far as football knowledge;

I will wait until final cuts before I worry about who Rivera has an undeserved love for.

 

smart guy right here^^^^^.

 

all the cuts aren't in.

 

naka and fua aren't getting starting time. they aren't getting praised. they aren't being discussed much.

 

it's not worth the whining.

Anyone wondering why Norman still not getting reps with 1st string?

I really think that Fua is a guy who's going to come out of the closet one day. We'll then know why Rivera had been giving him the opportunity.

 

That was another good observation Chuck. Why isn't Norman getting more 1st team reps?

Because he isn't very good.

Who is Fua keeping out of the rotation? Who is Nakamura starting ahead of at safety?

 

Why should Gettis be on the 1st team when he's still lining up in the wrong spots in an offense he's had the playbook for for over two years?

 

Ginn did that poo against the Bears and still is getting 1st team reps. No excuse.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
