McNutt to get a jersey...Lafell,Ginn,Hixon and McNutt to carry the load

Via Joe Person on twitter according to Mike Shula. I know many hoping for King,but looks like this kid will be the fourth man up.Don't know anything about him and it is unlikely he will see playing time anyways.Football gods deemed that Smitty would not have a serious injury and possibly be avaiable for the playoffs with a first round bye. This actually give us a chance to see what these dudes can do with playing time....maybe Hixon is a playmaker and hasn't had the chance to get on the field. Best case scenario , the three carry the load and produce next week and Smitty heals up to play in three weeks. Wouldnt that be a great Xmas present for the huddle!

Hopefully he shows up on the statline or at least gets a few reps. He's got good size and an amazing last name.

McNutt to be side-line filler, much like Hixon was all season. He might get a few snaps if one of the other receivers gets banged up or needs a breather, but don't expect him to come out and have a big catch like Hixon did.


However, expect Hixon to have a few catches and possibly do some damage.

Not feeling this much. McNutt is the more seasoned player and that's more than likely the only reason he's getting a jersey.

Nows the time when you wanna see if you have somebody, and King is more likely to be that guy.

Mcnutt sounds like a frozen treat from Mcdonalds.

I guess the coahes see more in McNutt than King. I thought that King was sought after so. Looks like we'll only be running 3 WR sets, 4 with Olsen,  because I doubt if McNutt will see much of, if any of the field on game day.

Bust a McNutt on Sunday.

 

Wait, too far?

I'm guessing McNutt knows the playbook better than King at this point, and is why he's starting.

 

It will be interesting to see what Hixon can do, but god I can't wait to see 89 back on the field.

This is what they said coming out of Iowa at the combine about him.

Looks like a big target, which is a good thing.  Maybe he can go up to get a few of them high ones.

Every year it seems the Super Bowl winning team has an improbable star emerge right before the playoffs. Does anyone else feel like this is the perfect chance for that said player to emerge?

Shula likely will go even more conservative next week than normal IMO. More BS lamecat plays, etc

I am with you man. I don't get the point of running the wildcat. It makes no sense to me. We don't have a threat of throwing the ball so everyone in the stadium knows it is a running play. Maybe add something to it but probably best just to tear that page out of the playbook.

The Wildcat is terrible. That one wildcat fake was pretty fun to watch, but overall, the wildcat just basically allows the D to sell out on the run. Pure asinine playcalling.
