Why do guys think that our #4 WR should be putting up big numbers? Really #5 when you consider the fact that we use Olsen as a defacto WR also.

Nobody said big numbers.

But if you are the 4th receiver, with Cam Newton as your QB, you should be getting involved more often and AT LEAST making somewhat of an impact.

This is a Shula issue too. We need to run se 5 wide sets. This is a passing league.

Considering that a good amount of our offense is run out of a 2 TE and/or 2 RB set with a healthy running game and that WRs 1-3 are productive, I see no reason that a 4th WR would see significant non-ST time on the field.  Your assertion that not running 5 WR on the field means you're not running a productive passing game is ridiculous.

It was either him, Pilaris, Joe Adams, or Armanti.

I think it's safe to say Hixon is better than anyone of those guys, and it's arguable if any of the three cut would have even caught a pass yet.

Seriously, Tolbert catches more passes than our third receiver some games. With so many pass catchers everywhere he won't have much of an opportunity. It'd be nice to involve him a little more, but he's clearly on the roster as a solid backup. Ginn can't be on the field enough, anyway, and same goes for Lafell and Smitty. We're fine there.

Should we have beaten the seahawks? Yes. DWills fumble at the 8 yrd line cost us

Should we have beaten the bills? Yes. Fug this game was sickening

Theres a very very VERY good chance that we would be 6-1 right now. Are we a full-on "passing team"? Not even close. I do believe that as a whole the NFL has become a "passing league." But u have to take things on a game by game basis. We are destroying teams by having long methodical drives. Runs, Short passes and 3rd down conversions are what we do. Coming out in 5 WR sets a lot would be dumb. We have 1 good WR, a solid #2, and a speed guy with no hands. So youd take DWil land Tolbert out of the game so u can put in Hixon and Gettis? No thanks. We are playing great now and utilizing our players effectively.

The vikings made the playoffs last year with the 2nd worst QB in the league (no im not saying we should be like that. Just showing u that things have to be taken on a game by game basis, and not generalized). The Chiefs have the best record in football this year with a strong defense and emphasis on the running and short pass game. Sound familiar?

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
