SaviorPeterman Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Gaines and a #2 for Watkins is looking better and better Yes if the guy could stay healthy and stop leaving every game with an injury! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I like the way Gaines has played, but the fact that he gets hurt in literally every game that he plays is extremely concerning. You know who else has had a lot of injuries? Julio Jones! Gaines is basically Julio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You know who else has had a lot of injuries? Julio Jones! Gaines is basically Julio! Gaines has had one solid season, one season lost completely to injury, one bad season, and one solid quarter-season that includes leaving every game with an injury and missing one game entirely. I refuse to let this boil down to a Watkins discussion, but his availability is tantamount to Ripken-esque in comparison to Gaines' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Whose on-field presence do you think contributes to the successful underneath routes that enables Kupp, Woods, and Gurley get receptions on? I guarantee you that Watkins is a factor irrespective of numbers. Ignore it you wish, but Gaines durability or lack thereof is ironically a problem. Todd Gurley? I was as big a Sammy fan as anyone, and shocked when they made that trade. And Sammy did have one great game this year. But he hasn't ever put it together consistantly in the NFL. And I am not sure he ever does. Not to mention, he hasn't been healthy much his career either. All factors considered, Beane made a very nice deal IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 @BradleyGelber From Poyer's fiance... Doesn't sound super promising for Sunday. #Bills @Nick_Wojton VIDEO: Jordan Poyer(knee) said he's taking things "day-by-day" this week. Added he was v nervous at first, then realized he was good. #Bills https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/923271404971286528/pu/vid/1280x720/sRo8NNjo7y7ifZmY.mp4 @JonScottTV Jordan Poyer leading the #Bills injury report with knee injury. He's encouraged by progress made in short time. Here are full thoughts. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/923273066398003201/pu/vid/1280x720/sOoXUrvq27ASsTax.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I like the way Gaines has played, but the fact that he gets hurt in literally every game that he plays is extremely concerning. Emmitt Smith used to get injured every game but then he would just play. Maybe Gaines is like him he just wants attention so he brings issue.

Rocky Landing Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm assuming if Poyer is out, Elston starts? Bummed about Poyer, but looking forward to watching what Elston does! For real though lol... Riding a bike like that in Manhattan will get u run over by a bus. I'd be more concerned for Humber. He isn't even holding onto the handlebars!

I'd be more concerned for Humber. He isn't even holding onto the handlebars! I would be excited to see him play any other week but this week to be honest. The Raiders WR corps scares me a little especially with a newbie Safety playing his first game for us along with the absence of our 2nd best corner in Gaines. The Raiders displayed what they are capable of against a secondary without their best player. I'm hoping the weather comes into play and they'll have to run more which plays into our favor. Plus, Cooper has had issues with drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Todd Gurley? I was as big a Sammy fan as anyone, and shocked when they made that trade. And Sammy did have one great game this year. But he hasn't ever put it together consistantly in the NFL. And I am not sure he ever does. Not to mention, he hasn't been healthy much his career either. All factors considered, Beane made a very nice deal IMO One of Gurley's TD runs was all setup by a big Sammy Watkins killer block this past weekend. And, Sammy DID put it together in 2015 over the 9 games to end the season after the bye where he was healthy after the early season rib injury. There is a BIG issue in LA with the Rams people commonly are over looking. Goff is NOT lighting up the field by any means. He is only averaging 245 yards per game and barely over 1 TD per game. He's only had 2 games with more than 1 TD, and had a game with zero. He has not been great at throwing down field either, so the guys benefiting the most are the guys consistently running shorter routes or seeing single coverage like Woods, Kupp and the TE's. Sammy is drawing the attention of the top corners, allowing guys like Woods and Kupp more room to operate, and Sammy is often double teamed. I watch every Rams game, and if anyone watched the game they would see all these same things. It mostly falls on Goff who is taking of advantages of the openings elsewhere while Sammy draws the better DB's and doubles. Goff still has a long way to go as a passer, and that is by far the biggest reason for Sammy's lack of recent production. Watkins is out there stretching the field on a lot of his routes with a QB who isnt very good throwing downfield yet and has a ton of weapons underneath seeing single coverage because of Watkins that are easier, higher percentage throws.

I already linked Goff's stats, short passing game isn't true. He rated very well in every category. I'm not sure if you are the same guy who said this before but it's false.
