Speedsters and no Ginn

Its bc people dont want to admit thst Ted, drops and all, was damn good.  He was a better pure WR than anyone else we currently have, and just so happened too have world class speed.  Gettleman was an idiot for letting him walk, AGAIN.

Samuel has speed, but is not a refined receiver and is more of a gadget player right now.

I don't believe he isn't refined. We just arnt using him outside of gadget plays. He's barely gotten any opportunities to show off doing anything but gadget plays.

Coaches are trying to force feed it to KB & Funchess

He wasnt exclusively one position at OSU either.  I think we aren't using him beyond the LOS because he has trouble releasing/separating due to poor technique.  He has the ability, but he is still learning the position.  Thats ehy I assume they cant find other ways to use him.

I mean, it's either that, or just another example in a long list of this staff's ineptitiude and inability to utilize the RIGHT PLAYERS in the RIGHT SPOTS.

I'm not mad at the Samuel pick, but we should've kept Ginn one more year. Curtis isn't ready, and on that pass from Cam, he didn't have any separation at all.

Is Byrd done for the season or short term IR?

Just a broken arm so he could be brought back after weeks but I have no idea why you'd want to. He looked worse than Samuel.

I think your saying they look bad but neither of them had been used very much at all. Plus Cam was way bad at throwing early. I also still think we arnt using our personnel right. No fullback use. No speedster use. Putting stewart out to catch and CMC running into a tough middle.

Byrd actually can block better, which is why he was used for it most of the time, but needed to use him for deep routes.

Blame the former gm, relied to heavily on a rookie hybrid rb/wr to come in an replace a 8+ year vet, we've seen this time and time again 

[Finest-Panthers]

And Ginn scores again. 

We really traded Ginn for Shepherd 

[Proudiddy]

I keep saying it...  Gettleman f'ed up not once, but twice with Ginn.  He was our best pure WR, inconsistent hands and all, and just so happened to have world-class speed.

No matter what Shepherd does, he's not Ginn.  And furthermore, even if he's getting open, it's clear Cam doesnt trust him like he did Ginn.

Are you guys serious here? Ted Ginn has been terribly inconsistent for the Aints this year, just like he has been his entire career. It came down to money and he definitely is not worth what they're paying him with his inconsistencies. Samuel is going to be much better once he gets rolling.

[saX man]

The biggest issue I see is how blatantly obvious it is when we're trying to get him the ball.  His role is so limited that when he comes in to the game, we're basically going to him via reverse or pass and the defense easily zeroes in.  Shepard's "role" is not helping as well.
