I just don't think every 21 year old is ready to play in the NFL right away. Akers may just need time to adjust. Look at Henderson last year, people wrote him off. We shall see, there is obviously something, but it's hard for me to write a player off this early, when they aren't even seeing the field yet. Ronald Jones rookie year, he was a young, raw player, too. He's now one of the top rushers in the NFL through 7 weeks, 2 years later.Sriracha wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:31 pmHenderson and Brown are both playing well and their O-line looks much improved. Does make you wonder why the invested their first pick of the draft into a RB at this point, but I suppose they weren't sure that Henderson would emerge and they value the RB position.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:26 pmSure, but McVay isn't Gase. They have meetings, practices etc. all week. They do know better, generally. We don't know what's going on, but I can assure you McVay isn't sabotaging his offense to thwart people with Akers on their Fantasy teams. I'm sure he's well aware of Akers pass catching skills, they drafted him in the 2nd round. He clearly has a reason for not playing him, and it's probably not because he's deluding himself into thinking Brown is a better pass catcher.AussieMate wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:20 pm
In general I'd agree, there are just so many bad calls everyweek/everyear that make me rethink the whole "they are in the league they know better than us" mentality haha,
`Gase in point`
My guess is Akers is missing something right now. Either he's got a case of fumbleitis in practice or is too intent on bouncing things to the outside (which was an issue in week 1). Hard to argue with McVay's decision when they're scoring points and winning football games... but this GM is looking worse and worse.

*Puts on tin foil hat* McVay told #81 to intentionally line up off-sides on Akers only run call.

This is also the reason he called a WR sweep and a play action pass on Akers other two snaps

Re: Week 7
The days of a dominant workhorse RB on the Rams (Gurley) seem so far in the past, don't they?
Re: Week 7
So maybe trubisky wasn't the only problem after all. This bears offense is not great.

Re: Week 7
Is it me or does Foles always wait till 4th quarter the throw to Arob?
Re: Week 7
I'm so close to giving up on Miller. The talent is definitely there (that was a hell of a grab earlier) but the volume and snap count just isn't there. Really not sure what to do with him. No worthwhile trade value in an 8 team 27 man roster but dropping him feels wrong.

He's not a bad player, but I just don't think he's the kind of talent that demands attention. If he's there, use him if not, oh well.

I think it has to be something to do with the ribs. It would be inexplicable if he was fully healthy unless he was playing Ronald Jones worthy bad
I may or may not be related to Bryan Edwards
