Thread: Hamler out for the season, Torn ACL

We. Are. *******. Cursed.

Blow after blow after blow when it comes to injuries this season.

Sutton, Patrick, and Spencer could probably float us just fine until Jeudy comes back but the lack of depth would be the concern at this point. Will be interesting to see what they do.

As long as Jeudy makes it back I think we'll be alright.

But bring back Bennie Fowler!

Really sucks having a limp dick qb arm again. Hope a third receiver doesn't go down due to it.

The irony of these injuries is that it may end up playing to Bridgewater’s strengths as we could be using our running backs to catch the ball out of the backfield. I think Gordon is a good after the catch type player.

The outlet game has been light years more effective this year.

Brown, but Sickle Cell.
Golden Tate, but 33 years old.
Either would be good as fall backs.
We could also steal from other practice squads.
Colts have a kid named Coutee that caught 82.5% of passes thrown his way last year. They used him for returns too. Kids fast like Hamler, unlike the other two above. I'd like to call him up to our 53 if we are poaching.
Fowler would be okay too.

(Edit: we poached a guy off the Raiders PS. If it makes them weaker, that makes it a cool move. I love stealing the Raiders things. Paton with a Talib Chain move is pretty fun.)

Fant: 12 catches for 110 yards through 3 games (he’s almost taken that many yards in penalties). Albert O: 8 catches for 46. That’s pathetic. I don’t know if it’s Teddy or Shurmur or that they aren’t getting open or we’re having to use them too much in pass pro, but they are drastically underutilized right now.

I hope we get to use those guys this week. We should be using them against Baltimore for us to have a chance offensively...

Good call on trading Benson, Patton

Has Benson been balling?

10 targets, 1 INT, 4 catches, ~40 yards.

I am fine with the Benson trade. Had we traded Patrick we would be in a bit of trouble perhaps but Benson was simply a TC hit who isn't really doing anything and losing snaps to khalif Raymond another former bronco ironically. David Moore is a good addition who has actual production in the NFL as well.

I expect we will be fine, last year teams started Doubling Jeudy and Patrick made things happen, as teams start to understand Patrick can beat them it will free up both him and Sutton to make plays. It would also be great to see spencer get some slot work and do more then return a punt for 7 yds lol
