You seriously thought that was going to be an issue in the locker room and for team morale? Game Ball: Trae Elston. Leading tackler, held up pretty well with Poyer being out.

Stop the fight!

One of the most overrated players in the NFL in my opinion.

I had to reread the thread title to make sure I wasn't in the archives reading about EJ.

Ran the ball last year against stacked boxes every week and finished 2016 number 1 in Rushing YPG. The drastic fall of not being able to run the ball is not being talked about nearly enough. Everyone is focused on the play of TT. He is not supposed to be the offense, nor carry this team. The running game is, which has been absent for the most part all season.

How many optimistic starts have we had during the drought? Quite a few. It's 3 games. A great start indeed and have definitely exceeded expectations at the fan and media level. But it's early. A bad loss in Atlanta and many will be calling for Peterman again and how we should have never traded Sammy. Let's hope they keep it up.

No. Not my expectations. Not your expectations. 2nd round pick expectations. NFL receiver expectations.

I don't know the exact number and don't keep a tally. He has underperformed expectations. He has more concerns than promise thus far. It is 3 games, which is all we have to evaluate. Hopefully he improves. Through 3 games, very unimpressive.

Your acting like he is already deemed a bust and that he should be cut. Take a deep breath Mrs. Jones. Just pointing out that it's concerning that a small school guy, drafted in the second round, known for his hands, seems to have a case of the dropsies and looks out of his element thus far in his NFL career.

That wasn't the point. Catching slant routes in your hands as a second round draft pick is expected. Right away. That's not lighting it up.

4.) It's week 3.

He definitely doesn't look like he belongs thus far. Panicking when the ball is thrown his way.

Agreed. Strong correlation between talent/performance and how much you can put up with.

Sammy Watkins is one of the most overrated players in the NFL IMO. He is the current Derrick Rose, minus the playoff run on his resume.

It has been two weeks. How can you possibly draw that conclusion? I have not seen Hyde have any glaring weaknesses.
