[News] Wide Receivers Step Up When Steve Smith Goes Down

[BigUgly]

Will be interesting to see who steps up in the 2016 WR Tryouts over the next 8 games. Really interested to see Butler play, and really hope SSSr decides to come back next year.

Less of Marlon, more of Daniel! Play the better Brown

Interesting how the discussion is about how these WRs stepped up yesterday. It says a lot about their lack of performance and ability to play at this level. If they're not the #1 receiver they can't produce when called upon? Need #89 to go down before they get their head out of the sand and begin to perform. They don't inspire my confidence and it will be seen when they rest of the teams put 8 in the box for he run game and go 1 on 1 with this WR group until they can prove otherwise. Givens will be double covered with a safety and then what? Aiken and Brown don't scare anyone. Happy for the win but major challanges remain.

i saw more seam passes yesterday than i have all year long, keep that going as well as more slants.....

So... back to asking Harbs about Breshad's knee at every possible opportunity right? We NEED you man! Here's hoping that knee has been making progress

I really like what Givens has managed to do so far. Some of the plays he made yesterday were quality, let's hope he can carry it to the next level with SSS now out.

One thing they need to improve on is the WR screen, or take it out of the play book.

What was with the towel? Did he just not want people to see him crying or something? Do other players do that? I don't think I have seen that before.

It's pretty common in all sports. I see it more often in basketball though.

I don't know why people are giving me thumbs up or thumbs down.  I'm just asking a question.

Tearing anything is pretty painful even for a guy who's got such a high pain tolerance so he's probably grimacing and no one wants to see someone in such pain. Also, don't let the haters see you weak.

 

PS Steve Smith is not the type of guy who would cry.
