We need more Funchi!!! Or we need more, Funchi!!!

[top dawg]

First of all, yeah I said it: Funchi! If we can have a Benji, we can have a Funchi. Devin Funchess seems to have fun playing the game, and he has some positive chi going on that just pops off of his personality on and off the field. 

Did you see that incredible catch last night? It was absolutely marvelous! I don't absolutely know why we didn't see more Funchi this year, but I can only assume that he didn't know what the hell was going on half the time (like Cam joked about earlier this season in one of his pressers). So I also say it in a facetious manner. But, I am excited about Devin. He climbed and two-handed Cam's overthrown ball like a boss, and he really made some clutch catches all season long...when he was in there---on the field, of course.  He is not in Ron's doghouse, but he was on Ron's porch. He is going to have to have to find a way to impress Ron (and company) enough to get off the porch and run with the big dogs on a consistent basis.

His route running needs some work, but you could see his improvement over time---much like the changes in a time-lapsed video---because it was that noticeable, at least to me. He probably needs to block better. He has work to do, but Ron and Shula are going to have to let this kid play.

Just imagine the duo of a more polished Benji and Funchi on the field together. That dream is still very much in play, my fellow brethren.  

But getting back to that catch though...and a couple of others this season...those are the catches of a big time baller. 

 

P.S.: Man if we could somehow get Alshon...

Would you say he's a Fungi?

I'm excited for next year. If they're smart they'll have Ted and Kelvin outside with Funchess in the slot where he could be like a hybrid tight end.

Then Add Olsen to the mix...man that's a bit of a wet dream there =P

Don't get my hopes up like last year

[Navy_football]

Yeah. Hopefully Tre Boston, D. Williams, and Kony Ealy start next year as well. Gotta kill this loyalty stuff!

what is keeping my spirits up after the bad game is the possibilities of next year. i dont expect 15-1 but i am excited to see Benji back our there with FunFun and whoever else is out there.

WR Corp looks good going into next year. Hopefully everyone can stay healthy. 

KB's 2014 was unrealistic for most rookies. Funchess had a good rookie season, and seemed to get better as the year went on.

Regardless of what the national media might say, I would take KB, Funchess, Ginn, & Philly amy day.

I can't remember who said it(some analyst before the game), but they talked about how Funchess could be(have been) a difference maker in that game.  They knew their secondary was really good, and we'd have trouble getting separation.  Devin was the guy who wouldn't get much separation, but could easily go up over guys to get the ball(the kid's vertical with his height is insane... 6" more than Benji).  We saw it... boy did we see it.  He and Benji could have field days on the outside next season.  Just put the ball up, and let them go get it.  Very similar to Alshon and Marshall in Chicago, but with a real QB.

Now we just need a legit deep threat. Someone that Defenses must double that will blow the top off. Ginn or Brown isn't that guy! They are the lite version of what we need!

I'm looking at you Corey Coleman

If we do some how get Alshon that would great and even with kb back we will still be running non creative routes. Shula needs to go, get someone creative and let cam run it plain and simple.
