WR/RB Thread

Yeah, outlook not good for him to come here. I think he’ll end up a Patriot or maybe an Eagle. One of those teams I believe will get him
 
I'm not pressed for Gordon. I think our receivers are good enough, I'm personally more concerned with the OL and the run game. Offense should been fine once that works out.

I'd tend to agree, though if a talent like Gordon were to come here, I'd jump for motherfucking joy.

I personally think if we are going to make a move, it'd be to sign Jonathan Cooper to play LG. He was solid, but unspectacular in the power scheme last year and could be a decent starter, which is more than I can say for any LG we've had since KO. If we are so inclined to start Skura at C, at least make him the only liability in the lineup.

If that happens and we start Brown instead, the running game probably picks up again.

I don't know man, I'm not so sure because 1) I don't think he's as good as we think he is at the moment, 2) it's going to take some time for him to be acclimated to the scheme/playbook/Joe/Offense so you can't expect a contribution right away, and 3), he's carrying too much baggage with him. It's hard to trust and I don't expect a move like this to pay off this year.

As far as signing a G goes, I don't think it's going to really help us. I think Hurst is solid enough as a replacement guard. I think he's honestly been decent to solid. Nothing special but I feel like most of the criticism goes to him because he's an easy target and has the reputation behind it. Filmstudy gave Hurst a B- which I think is fair and encouraging given that the Bengals might have the best pass rush in the league. I don't even view someone who is a FA as an upgrade either. They're more like depth guys and are on the market for a reason, especially Johnathan Cooper who was horrible in Dallas while being surrounded by elite level talent. I think the best we can do is moving Hurst to LG with Brown taking over at RT. Believe it or not you can really do worst then Hurst. I feel like the guy is starting to be the fans punching bag tbh.
 
I'm not pressed about it. It's 2018 not 2013 and I don't think he's the player that he used to be. Their defense is still horrendous and their pass rush is non-existent which bolds well for us. I think we match up best against them but it does all depends on if we even make it that far.
 
I hereby deem Hayden Hurst as “Breshad” Hurst.

Those situations aren’t similar. I like the fact that we aren’t rushing to bring him back. But I’m doing it before anyone else does so I can claim sole ownership.

Typically a stress fracture is a 6-8 week recovery time. 3-4 weeks was seriously a hopeful scenario, even Zreibec wasn't buying it.

Stuff like this typically happens with our first round picks for some reason.

Which could mean he will be back to practice next week or the following week

It doesn't bold well for him to return next week either. He was immediately ruled out for this week so I would probably say they won't suit up for the following week either. It's either that or maybe they're just going to play it safe since Boyle/Williams/Andrews have exceeded expectations.

FWIW, Maxx Williams caught all three of his targets so he could see an increased work load. Denver also isn't good at defending TE's and neither is Pittsburgh so we should still be able to take advantage of the match up there.

Pittsburgh is fine on that end - they put 5 DBs in zone coverage on TE, then WR scores!
