Wayne Fontes Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 He is not going to crack 200 yards. You're probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince88 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 All this talk about wide receivers is moot until a qb who can routinely make the full array of the most basic NFL throws is acquired. Here's the passing stat line for each of the next 6 games: 17 of 36 for 221. 1 TD 1 Int. So, what team is your favorite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 someone definitely needs to take advantage of the opportunity they will get on sunday. be it hogan, easley, gragg...someone needs to step up and show they belong. Gragg's big TD celebration in garbage time told me all I need to know about him. He believes he is a very short timer in the NFL so he went to great lengths to celebrate and save the TD football so he can show his kids someday, etc. His hands are terrible; he makes Chandler look like ProBowl. He'll be cut in the offseason never to be heard from again. Pretty much what we expected, and gives Woods the best chance to come back after the bye. Time for "7-11" Hogan and Easley to step up. Yep, looking like 2nd half of a preseason game from the WR position this week. We shall see. Jets will put 8 in the box and absolutely stuff the run game. We'll see what Hackett and EJ can do through the air this week. Jets will give them no choice but to have rookie EJ throwing it to his 4th and 5th WR. Lets hope the defense comes to play. this game could be 9 - 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Just as our defense gets healthy, our offense gets banged up. Nice. If there's any good news here, it's that EJ practiced with the guys who will be playing all week. I think that's significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's significant. Moving the ball with any regularity against the Jets is a challenge even with the full complement of weapons. But with significant injuries at WR and a rookie QB.......Whew!!! Marrone and Hackett better have one helluva game plan. Oh wait...we have 7-11!!!

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Let's not forget Goodwin left last week with a hammy. One of these bubble WRs is going to need to play the game of their life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair GM Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Any word on one, or both of the PS guys getting activated this week? I'd like to see what we have in either one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going with 4 WR (Goodwin, Graham. Hogan, and Easley). Gragg and Evan Rodriguez will also get some action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for his hands being terrible...what body of work do you draw that conclusion from? Pretty sure he was a beast in college aside from the knee injuries.

D521646 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 It's really going be a challenge if Stevie is out too. I actually disagree, I think that both Thad and EJ tended to focus in on SJ and ignored the other receivers, and in part, might be responsible for both not seeing the open guys as well as the all-22 shows. IMO this is common for young QB's trying to find their place on the team. In my personal opinion this is the biggest obstacle for growth in rookie QB's. Guys like Luck, and Wilson throw to everyone, whoever is open, and not merely because they're the No 1. Wide-out. I could be wrong, but I saw several times last week where Goodwin and TJ were open, and the ball went to Stevie running a crossing pattern..

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ouch! Truthfully it's 1 WR and Graham, Hogan, and Easley yeah, really. One receiver (Goodwin), one guy who runs around aimlessly (Graham), one guy is always open but only has 1 catch and a concussion (Hogan), and one guy who is a legend but only has 1 drop to his name (Easley). Add in there a TE who got his first TD on a false start in garbage time, and some dude we picked up off the street yesterday, and I would say we are pretty set this Sunday. (And if we lose, let's all ask for EJ's release). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any rate, EJ's going to have to go through his progressions to find the best available option. I think that's what we all want to see. yeah, really. One receiver (Goodwin), one guy who runs around aimlessly (Graham), one guy is always open but only has 1 catch and a concussion (Hogan), and one guy who is a legend but only has 1 drop to his name (Easley).

A lot of the passing game is about timing. I don't think it was particularly helpful for EJ that Stevie didn't practice most of last week, then played in the game. By working with the same group of receivers throughout the week there's an opportunity to gain some chemistry and timing -- in effect, to "get comfortable" with this group. That's what I meant with my earlier statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
