Rivera: Legadu Played Well

[Mr. Scot]

Naanee actually was better yesterday than he had been in previous games.

I'd still prefer a better option long term, but I give him credit for a little improvement.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, I'm not saying I expect Rivera to trash him, especially after yesterday's game being his best effort to date... But, it was still riddled with mistakes throughout. And again, he's not a natural pass catcher.

BUT, for him to bring up Naanee unprovoked tells me he's going out of his way to let us know Naanee isn't going anywhere.

That's what I don't like.

[Mr. Scot]

He just doesn't have the body control you need in a big receiver.

He's a decent downfield blocker though. I'll give him that.

[coralreefer_1]

Agreed. The whole Naanee is garbage thread was just that...garbage.

He isn't great..but he made key plays/blocks as was mentioned. Although I agree we need a more stable replacement at WR, the level of crap that this board has given was not deserved.

[rayzor]

after yesterday, people calling for his head on a platter are going to have to wait a while.

naanee wasn't nearly half bad. well, he never is. it's either full on bad or, i guess, pretty good like yesterday.

i just hope there are more of the days like yesterday for him.

[Mr. Scot]

Don't underestimate the value of practice time, especially when it comes to building chemistry with Newton.

This is the naanee of posts right here.

Naanee had his two best plays all season yesterday:

1) the block on DeAngelo's 69 yd TD run was fantastic.

2) the first catch he had from Cam, which gave Cam confidence since he was 1-3 4 yds INT prior to that.

I rag on Naanee like most of us here, but I tip my hat to him, he played well yesterday. I have no complaints right now at all.

I think he plays him because he doesn't think LaFell is any better.

My own opinion: I think LaFell might be one of those guys who makes the spectacular catches but blows the easy ones.

I can live with that in a number three receiver. In a number two, not so much.

If David Gettis isn't hurt, this never becomes an issue.

I'd rather live with that than seeing Legedu catch a pass and immediately fall down

or not catch it period

or tip it to a defender for a pick 6

or drop it in the 4th quarter with less than a minute left effectively ending the drive

We don't see the practices though (nor does anyone else, anymore).

Even with what we've seen so far, if you saw Naanee looking better in practice than LaFell, what would you do?

[csx]

They are both on the field nearly every pass play anyway so what difference does it make?

[Matthias]

Did NaaNee have a good game? Who cares. Keary Colbert had good games. Drew "Stone Hands" Carter had good games. Even Fred Ex from the Eagles had good games. Give me a receiver who shows up every game and not cost of games because he struggles to catch the ball. (And NaaNee never fights for the ball in traffic, that is really my biggest gripe against his play on the field. Put in a guy that will put his body on the line)
