Guess who's dropping passes and guess who's making it look easy

...why isn't Funchess our #1 receiver, getting 20 targets a game?

Because the team only passed about 28 times a game to begin with. There isnt a receiver in the league who comes close to 20 targets a game. Demarius Thomas lead the league last year with 11.5 targets a game.

I think that's a pretty good assumption.

Kevin Norwood says he's getting more reps this week than last. Hopes he's active vs #Texans.

Having him be active would be a good start.

Now the question that follows: Who gets deactivated so he can play?

Probably Webb. I like the guy obviously, but Rivera's obsession is getting a little out of hand.

Probably Webb. I love the guy, but Rivera's obsession is getting a little out of hand.

 

Webb plays special teams and can be backup WR. 

We don't need tons and tons of questionable WRs activated who do nothing but play WR badly.  We are a Shula offense.

I'd say Philly, to be quite honest.

Probably Webb. I like the guy obviously, but Rivera's obsession is getting a little out of hand.

 

I'd doubt it for Webb, because he plays a big part in all phases of special teams.  I don't think Philly does.

Norwood catches the ball like ... "is that all you got"

Just about all we have are questionable WR's. That's just the situation as it stands.

If Philly isn't even activated, then we may as well drop him to the practice squad, and bring back up Bersin.

Possible, but Webb plays special teams.

Brown "sort of" plays special teams.

I'm not really sure what happens there, honestly. 

I am fairly sure a lot of folks won't like whichever decision gets made.

I have no problem with it myself.  I've always liked Philly, but having the best guy is far more important than who someone likes.

RR: Norwoord now “knows enough that he can help.” Sounds like a much better chance than last week.

Let's see, we know Brockel will be out, along with D. Williams,  maybe Luke.  That would be 3 inactive.  I'm assuming Star will play at least some of the game.

I would think Wegher & Marlowe will again be inactive.  That would be 5.  Need two more.

I think Mayo will be ACTIVE if Luke is out.

Where to find two more guys to deactivate?  Norwood or Webb would likely have to be one.  I doubt both will be inactive.  I'm really not sure who else might not play...

I know Webb plays special teams, and I'm not saying he shouldn't be activated, but all this about him playing WR is just showing how awful the situation is becoming.

I want to see Norwood get a jersey Sunday. But unfortunately, I have doubts that Rivera will actually deactivate Brown, at least this week.

Webb was only active 7 games last season so he is a viable option. Somebody has to take up his ST play though.

I think it's gonna be an interesting Sunday morning.

Biggest issue I see is Carolina refuses to let Cotchery handle punts if things get bad (we saw that last year, when they wouldn't even let him field a punt to ensure it was caught).

So that means, if Ron's eyes....if Ginn gets hurt we have no one to field punts.

That I would assume also keeps Philly activated in this scenario in regards to Norwood.  Which is a problem...b/c you SHOULD be deactivating a WR for Norwood.
