McFarland and DJ back at practice.

[slashsteel]

That 22 day window is open.

Would be nice to get both back as nobody really has stepped up consistently opposite Pickens and AM was showing some nice return capable.

I know many were wondering how it would look without DJ being out. Not sure anyone was fond of the results.

I’ve always advocated for DJ, he is better than most give him credit for. The drops happened at the worse times and most think he drops all balls his way. He gets targets because he is OPEN, simple math.


Salute the nation

DJ will be value added for sure!

26 not so much...
Keep him out of the running back mix for now, they are just starting to figure out the 22/30 mix...

Think he eventually did a decent job working on those drops and then limiting them. I didn't like when he would backtrack to try to gain yardage. Ol girl asked me why he does that. I would just tell her he is trying to get more yards after the catch, it just seems like it would fail more than anything....

I’m glad DJ is coming back. It will help Kenny since he has a knack for getting open.
McFarland with his speed will help on kickoffs and why not as a back coming out of the backfield in passing game. I’d like to see his YAC in that situation. Can it it hurt?

I look at it as positives on a team in need of them.

add in the O’Canada limited YAC affect from play call.

Also says Moore is taking first team reps over Jones. What BS

 

[Shane Falco]

I’m reading on the Bleacher thread Freiermuth is expecting to start Sunday and Moore Jr is expecting to play. I’m not excited about Moore returning as the starting LT. Broderick Jones is better than working hard Moore. In my opinion-the Broderick Jones era has already started

 

[CoolieMan]

DJ will at least get open and maybe draw some attention away from CAIII so he can also find some open spots

Tell her he has been in the lab for repairs....... updated GPS .... and they removed the Reverse gear from his transmission .....

 

[oicu8ad]

Hope he's ready for some 4 yard curls outside the numbers.

 

[madinsomniac]

Unless we are desperate at the position, new guys like draftees or recent signings really take time to get on the field a lot now.. … not just our draftees either… from what I’ve seen from each highlight reels I think King is definitely better than Sullivan in the slot and can play outside too…

Funny as hell.

How goes it up there?

Not so good this week
3 divisional rivals with a win ............when I thought there was a chance of an 0-3 weekend

............. my wife tested positive for Covid Sunday morning ......... I have her quarantined in the basement .....feeding her lots of broth and a nice stir fry for dinner tonight............ I just tested myself and I still have a negative reading ..... to match my disposition......lol

Sorry Paul, I hope she recovers quickly. Tell her I send my best wishes. Not big on broth but the stir fry doesn't sound horrible.

Yeah only the Steelers could screw up the bye week.

Es tut mir leid, von Ihrer Krankheit zu horen. Paul sollte Sie wieder gesund verwohnen. Massagen, erstklassiges Abendessen und Fußbader.


You welcome.

Ha ..... I just received a Private Message from some dude in Cleveland ........ requesting a massage ........... Deshaun Watson must have alerts set up in all languages

I responded with ....can't you get your buddy Nick to give you a Chubb ?

 

[Litos]

Foot baths should peak Rex Ryan's interest in that conversation

 

[TDX27]

DJ will be a huge add. He runs the best routes on the team. He gets open and he gets first downs. He will also take pressure off GP and the running game.

Blessings of health to the entire family your way.

CHANGE that disposition immediately !!! You might get hired if you do………….

Mcfarland sucks. He's had multiple seasons of putting nothing on tape, bad balance trips over himself. just not an elite athlete. Taking work from Warren would hurt the team.
