Yep, that's the one! Don't know to what extent he was physically affected but at the very least it would make sense that it affected his preparation process.

I’m serious, I like the talent we got on offense. This will be the reason we compete this year for a playoff spot

You wanna buy the jersey of a rookie who hasn't played a down yet? You must be smoking that loud pack.

I'd say invest in a McLaurin jersey but our recent history of not paying our top tier guys makes me more nervous than I should be right now.

A McLaurin jersey is a safe bet. And given the Allen signing last year, I think and hope they'll get a deal done.

I think the team has been cautious...and in some cases too cautious, in paying top tier guys that have questions marks (Schreff, Williams, Cousins).

So here are some plays from that week 17 Raiders game.

No atrocious mistake, but ugly throws and bad reads all over the place.
No really good play either, he had one good 2 minute drive to close the first half.
Way worse game than the Jags one. Carson didn't blame it on Covid, but it's hard to believe it has zero impact on your physical condition, and you need to be 100% sharp to play this position, plus it definitely screwed up his preparation "Definitely one of the weirdest weeks of my NFL career if not the weirdest".

This actually confirms to me that the narrative that Carson cost them the playoffs by losing to the Jags is a lazy one, if you watch the games, he played really bad in the Raiders one, but the OL and receiving corps lost the Jags game.

I still like the trade, and I still like Carson's upside. Plus he keeps saying the right things in every situation.
Now yes, when he's not in a good mental place, he's off. He was off during a couple of drives against the Jags, and pretty much the whole game against the Raiders.

1) The LB covering TY Hilton (slot right side) falls down, there's some pressure but he gotta see it. Barring a blown coverage, you don't get much more wide open than that in the NFL.


2) Just an ugly throw on an easy screen.


3) 3rd down play. Looks to me like Pitman is opened on the right side, he goes left on a difficult throw, short of the sticks.


4) Receiver opened for the first. High throw, incomplete.


5) "Highlight" of the game. Caping a good 2minutes drive, and setting up the rushing TD.


6) Only TD of the game could have been an amazing play, but the throw is short, should be intercepted, lucky TD

Hope that Rivera has the team going in the direction they need to go!

Flowers, Collins and Humphries still all unsigned. I wonder if they try to bring any of them back.

I would like to bring Flowers back for sure. I would like Collins to be back too but it seems like we are content with replacing Collins with Butler.

I like Humphries but we already have Mline who can play the same role.

[EdmundDorf]

They are currently three deep at G so they are already going to have to jettison a couple of guys, adding Flowers doesn't make much sense unless they suddenly have some severe doubts about a couple of the guys they already have. Likewise WR is already a case of do they keep 7 guys like last year if not Milne or the new guy will have to be cut so I don't see any space on the roster to fit Humphries. Collins is a more interesting idea, they still could do with a 5th safety and as we all know are very thin at LB, with not many overwelmingly better options for the Buffalo Nickel position.

This should be interesting. Whether one approves or not, no doubt Wright and company have been doing work of late with the changes.

When one finds they have dug themselves into a hole the first thing they should do is stop digging. They're still digging.

I might imagine they would view Flowers as an upgrade over other Gs on the roster (I tend to agree), and so if the economics worked out, I would support it. I completely agree re: Humphries -- he was solid at moving the chains (something like 2/3 of his receptions were for first downs), but he wasn't targeted often. And I'd like to see Collins back as Buffalo nickel. I am just not sure I see him wanting to do that -- he still sees himself as a safety it seems.

I think you gotta know what your cap hit for McLaurin is going to be before you think about bringing back Landon Collins or Ereck Flowers. But I'm not opposed to it if it fits.
