So What Is It Going to Take to Get Torrey Smith Off the Field?

  • This dude is catching 44 percent of his targets  (Lower than any of Ginns percentages while here while Torrey not even remotely a deep threat than Ginn was)
  • Went CATCHLESS the last game despite playing 65% of snaps
  • Constantly on the field despite drops, mishaps, and averaging less than 20 yards receiving PER GAME
  • DJ Moore constantly turns the vast majority of his targets into a gold mine of broken tackles and YAC while catching 75% of targets
  • In one game coming off heart surgery Samuel managed to get over half Torrey's yards and equal his TD total for the season in very limited snaps

What in the world is the excuse? There's nothing but evidence everywhere this dude is not contributing and stifling better talent

At least Funchess is solid and has a defined role as big guy chain mover. DJ and Samuel are the perfect YAC monster compliments to Funchess and Torrey is holding us the hell back

As bad as it sounds 

 

Its honestly going to take an injury.

 

Forcing Rivera's hand is the only way your ever going to get the top players on the field.  Thats just how it has been under Rivera's time here.  Just too much loyalty for his vets

Lets not forget his blocking, it is horrid

The dude has been Nothing more than Russell Shepard last year.  The big argument last year was whatbit was going to take to put in Byrd over Shepard, consindering how good he looked in camp and preseaso .  It took a injury to Shepard for them to play Byrd at the end of last year.  When he got in, he flashed prior to getting injured

But he’s an amazing coach because we’re 3-1, and no one should dare mention he may not be the best HC or a good fit to lead the talent we have, right?  Did I nail the talking points?  By the way - not arguing your post, just tagging on my own sarcastic vitriol.

This. None of us want to wish injury on any of our guys, but historically it's been pretty much the only thing that has made Rivera move on from an ineffective vet.

Itll take 3 series ruined by him back to back to back. 

 

Your typical catch and fumble for the first drive, then a wide open missed catch that pops up and is intercepted the second drive, then a 60 yard bomb for a should be TD but he trips over himself at the 2 yard line and fumbles. 

 

Then...and only then..will he be benched outside of injury.

    • Bryce put it in a spot only his guy could get it only for David Moore to drop it. T_T Tremble and Horn both struggled yesterday and that killed me since they're two of my favourite players. Tommy knows he has to come down with this one. Folks were understandably saying that JT would've caught that had he not gotten hurt a few plays earlier. The more I look at this play, the more I think that Bryce made the right decision throwing it out the back of the endzone. He could have tried to laser it in to Thielen, but that safety is lurking awfully close inside. Insuring the field goal here after a 44sec drive to end the half was the right move.
    • Except Bryce was the main reason we were in it 
    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
