The role of newly added receiver Robert Woods, a steady possession guy, figures to be unchanged, but it will be interesting to see how Austin, a talented speedsters who has underachieved, will be impacted by the arrival of Reynolds.

With receivers such as Pharoh Cooper, Nelson Spruce, Bradley Marquez and Mike Thomas also in the fold, there figures to be plenty of training-camp competition

Woods is faster than Britt or Quick he ran a perfectly respectable 4.51 and is most certainly a capable , credible deep threat. Austin needs to learn how to catch and how to defeat press coverage at the line before his speed is much of a threat deep.

I never even watched Kupp play but damn those highlights look awesome! He might not run fast but his mind is very fast. I don’t see him as an Bruce type wr with Kupp having a couple inches in height and 25 lbs. on Bruce. Bruce had a very good top gear that won’t show in 40. Kupp is topped out at 40 yds. Bruce was still accelerating at 60 yards with those gigantic gazelle like strides.What I like the best about Kupp and Reynolds along with Woods is the hands. They all have exceptional hands.

I voted for Stein, can’t stand the Clintons, the DLC, the Dems in general, etc. My own political philosophy is well to the left of even Stein’s. But, to me, there’s just no getting around the fact that the Russians decided, with the help of Wikileaks, to ONLY expose Democrats. This couldn’t help but sway the election results to some degree, because the ONLY party that was exposed was the Democratic party. If Wikileaks and the Russians had published emails from the GOP and the Trump campaign too, there’s no doubt in my mind that Americans would have learned unsavory things about them as well. At least as bad as the Dems. At least.

I know you’re a Leftist Billy_T. I’ve read your stuff for decades now and enjoy it . I was very happy you returned. I just don’t think hackers would find anything in GOP emails that would make people leave the GOP and vote for Hillary. What could they possibly say?
“Hey after your interview on Fox tonight let’s volunteer downtown at the shelter and help some poor folks” or maybe “hey lets pencil in next week to work on a bill to ban all firearms “. These are people that believe Obama is Muslim and they hate Muslims .They’re generally stupid enough to murder Sikhs because the ” believe ” that Sikhs are murderous Muslims. My theory is they(Hackers) wanted Sanders and tried to get HRC to pull out for the good of the country but that’s just not who she is.

Hap and Leonard is kinda quirky cool. Goliath was good hope they do another season but Billy Bob is more of a hit and run guy (Fargo).The Last kingdom was good but only 1 season.

It’s kinda sad, the first regular season NFL game I went to was The Steelers at the Bolts opener in 1975. The Steelers blew ’em out thirty something to nothing. Most of my time was concentrated on the Charger Girls cheerleaders. I feel bad for San Diego I always liked that town. Oh well if you can afford tickets to the new stadium in L.A. I doubt the 2hr drive/15min flight is a deal breaker.

IR I’m not sure how I ended up quoting you as the quote is from the Bill Streicher write up in TSRF’s post.

The other thing those numbers point to for me anyway is McVay’s ability to get more out of
Garcon’s skill set increasing every year he was OC.

Transition year for the team, they are highly unlikely to be competitive this coming season, so why spend $16 million on an above average corner for just one season? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Especially if we can bring in a #1wr with that money. Oh well I guess it’s already a done deal they’re going to tag him. Snow we’re going to have to work on your handle , I’ve seen more snow in my fridge than outside!

I’m optimistic , I got exactly what I was hoping for in the coaching change. I can’t guarantee it works and sure there will be growing pains but I don’t see how anyone could not be at least a little bit optimistic . What’s the worst that could happen due to the new staff? Even if they play like crap it’ll be different crap not repetition which personally drives me nuts. We can watch what Phillips one of the best DCs in the game does with the hybrid 3-4 scheme that should be interesting. On offense if they stand pat on players at least it will answer some questions about the Fisher offense and if they go aggressive in FA and bring in some real talent, well that will be fun to watch as well.

I know a couple of people in mn that claim the have seen Bigfoot. I’ve spent a lot of time in the woods bow hunting and seen a lot of deer, bear, badger, mink ,skunk even a cougar but no Sasquatch yet.

I agree ZN, I am impressed by the quality of this coaching staff. Seems to me the people that put this plan together and executed it really did their homework. Just listening to the interviews they all seem to fit together. Time will tell but maybe removing Fisher when they did gave them a jump on forming the new staff.

With the exception of Britt they were all pretty horrible anyway and for someone with Britt’s physical gifts a thousand yard season shouldn’t be a big deal at all. The real question is why hasn’t he done 4 or 5 times by now. Even in ’16 he was constantly injured . His snap count would be an interesting stat. Goff hit all those guys right in the numbers/hands and they dropped them ran poor routes or wrong ones altogether . Shitcan them all. Keep Britt if it don’t break the bank but if it does there are better wrs to overspend on. Alshon Jeffery and Doug Baldwin would be huge up grades.

Lady GaGa rocked. Brady’s in tears Belichick is flustered

So if the unnamed source coach is wrong about the offense and Bleacher Report has been a
flimsy source in the past , how much credence should be given to this article at all?
