MJS Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'd say Wade earned himself some more carries next week. I'd like to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was always his likely location, he's playing more to make it hard to put him there than anything else. Though I guess if he plays bad enough he might miss out on that.

Zay and McDermott got taken out of the game but I think Zay came back though I don't know if he played. 1 minute ago, ScottLaw said: He heard foot steps. He's more worried about getting crushed by the safety than catching the ball. He's turns his head before even securing it. It seemed kind of similar to that play he had against Miami. 2 minutes ago, boco357 said: These games are going to take forever this year with all these PI challenges.

It wasn't that big a deal it happens what a couple times a game maybe not to mention they were more willing to try it now to see how it works than in the season when it could cost them something.

We'll have 54 guys on the roster this year. That's not how it works. He is only exempt from the 10 practice squad spots. If he makes the 53 he counts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone upstream was saying he needs to be a KR or PR. Nailed it. The guy is clearly an elite athlete. Seemed like the way he holds the ball was awkward but he can fly. Bet he’s been fumbling in camp or doesn’t catch well. Id assign him to fielding all the punters punts in practice and then bring in 5 more punters or set up a juggs.

Yeah, that’s a big deal during the regular season. Zay has cost this team wins and points during his time here. Players all make mistakes, but Zay’s habit of making game altering mistakes needs to be corrected quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see the game so I don’t know what he was doing, but I played rugby in college. Backs are often holding the ball in a way that they can pitch to either side with two hands at any moment, or in a way they can be quick to get to that point. I’m very curious to see what they are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hed be hell hell of a returner I just brought this up to a buddy via text when the run happened. It seems that his open field running background in rugby and his speed would really suit the NFL return game. I’m wondering why he’s not gotten any looks there yet.... of it that opens up to him at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
