Re: Lack Of Receiver Production

All the dinking and dunking when Burnell played probably hurt the wrs numbers as well.

Re: Lack Of Receiver Production

I think Lloyd will be on the playing field this Sunday.

Re: Lack Of Receiver Production

Mark Brunell did not throw the ball to Lloyd for reasons that have been stated on the board for 2 years. How are you supposed to have production when the ball is not thrown to you? Our offense is not good, therefore most #'s will be down.

Two years. I guess with Lloyd playing for the 49ers last year it would have been very difficult for Brunell to throw him the ball.

It would have been difficult for Brunell to throw him the ball if Lloyd were 6 yards away...

Was the ball not thrown to them cause they were covered or ran bad routes, or because Brunell sucks?

Re: Lack Of Receiver Production

betts is our leading receiver, because of brunell dinking and dunking. and also because of the offensive line not being able to pass block. and some of that falls on saunders, for his play calling. overall lack of steady offensive play

Re: Lack Of Receiver Production

Obviously my little rant about Lloyd was filled with hyperbole.

My only point about Lloyd is that the guy has been paid handsomely, has blown a few big plays, and has yet to payoff. Therefore, when I see him throw hissy fits on the field and start yelling at teammates, I get more than a little pissed. This guy isn't a wideout of T.O.'s caliber and he has no business whatsoever acting like T.O. now or ever (as he reportedly did in San Fran).

After reading the WP article about Lloyd and the fact that Gibbs might suspend him, I'm become a Lloyd-hater through and through. If Gibbs is even mentioning player character issues in public, you know the guy has acted like a serious jackass. And then to hear that Lloyd has been causing locker room problems all year......enough.

I've always been a big proponent of Gibbs' philosophy of getting character guys. I therefore get really, really irked when I hear about a player causing problems for team chemistry. Showing emotion on the field or getting upset about a loss is one thing, causing problems for team chemistry in the locker room or elsewhere is a totally different animal.

Perhaps I will be proven wrong and perhaps Lloyd is a good guy who is not causing problems, but at this point it doesn't look good.

Re: Lack Of Receiver Production

Speaking of receivers, what exactly does David Patten do for this team?

He's filling up a slot on the inactive list nicely.

Absolutely nothing, and I said before the 53 man roster was set that he should have been released to make way for a younger player, less expensive, and more serviceable. He dosen't play teams, and he's not going to give you the production that warrants his salry. He's had one #1 reception this year, and he claims he's hurt again. A total waste of a roster spot.

Re: Lack Of Receiver Production

I'm not sold on Lloyd, and this stuff about his attitude is wack.

But why isn't ARE getting the ball? Is he not getting open? Is he not getting really used as the third WR? I would have expected more there--he's got great open field moves, he's a good team guy, etc. He's been invisible except on punt returns. What's the deal?
