Ryan Clark goes off on DJ

[formerscribe]

It's tough for any of our WRs to get RAC/YAC production due to Canada's route concepts. All of them are running up a sideline or toward a sideline and the ball takes them OOB. Now that we're hitting the middle of the field again, I expect more YAC opportunities for all of our WRs moving forward. Hell if we hit the wide open GP, he had a shot at 6 on his post that KP just missed.

I think this entire offense will progress in the next 4 weeks, and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

That is a fair point and it is part of the problem, but Johnson just isn't as dangerous once he catches the ball as he was his first season or two.

That was a big miss by Pickett, but I don't think it was going to be a touchdown. It was tough to tell by the angle on television, but Pickens had multiple defenders in good position to stop him shortly after he caught the ball.

Shade's "Players Club" must foster this type of behaviour because there have been a lot of issues over the years.

They were talking about this issue on "Carton's Show" this AM. The consensus was that DJ didn't block on the play, wasn't aware of what was going on around him, didn't care or was simply aloof. Most thought he HAD to have known there was a fumble and did not even care to pursue it. Who does that?

I hear you. I'm always about getting the WRs the ball in space, and that throw I don't think the MLB would have been athletic enough to react to the catch and it would have been up to GP vs the safeties. I'm expecting some RAC this Sunday.

He was too busy pouting to do his job, which is childish and inexcusable. I hope Cam Heyward ripped him a new one.

Shannon Sharpe had his 2 cents on the subject. He's not wrong.
