Will be interesting to see what the addition can bring. Smart. We don’t have a legitimate backup to what Duvernay has provided us as an elite return man and quality receiver. That concussion the other game really was worrisome, while we have Proche, he doesn’t have the same speed to threaten. I doubt Andy Isabella makes an immediate impact, but given time to practice and develop under Keith Williams and I’m sure rebuild his confidence, he might be someone to be a legitimate backup for what Duvernay brings. At least those are my thoughts on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Boomerang Worley. Also, it's three practice squad elevations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Isabella was officially signed to the practice squad with Gaither being released from it. Williams went on injured reserve and Worley was cut again. Back to two open spots on the active roster and one open spot on the practice squad, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJaxxenGuy Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) the sad part is Desean Jackson is actually a substantial upgrade over the likes of Tylan Wallace. we need to just admit we are completely useless at drafting receivers and start trading picks for established guys if that is what we’re going to do Edited October 18, 2022 by ThatJaxxenGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coordinator0 Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 Not sure I get the fascination with Worley. That's 7 corners on the active roster now and I don't think any of them are hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coordinator0 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 He goes into the spot opened up by placing Bateman on injured reserve. There's some... interesting... roster imbalances right now. Five tight ends and eleven linebackers. I feel like this will be corrected shortly with a bye week coming and so many guys (probably) getting healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this means less Josh Oliver, Boyle can hopefully be the other “blocking TE” while Kolar should at least have better hands and a superior catch radius to Oliver. IIRC my evaluation has Kolar as a terrible blocking TE, but that has some Dennis Pitta to his game. Also based off his combine measurables, he should provide enough speed to threaten the seam vertically too, which should successfully replace what Oliver brings to the table as a receiver, only with what should be more consistent hands.

M.10.E Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Josh Oliver has been solid this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyle has been healthy for several weeks and the team is basically actively refusing to use him even as that. I wouldn't count on Boyle doing anything of note at this point. Josh Oliver has been pretty solid in his role this year IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't count on Boyle doing anything of note at this point. Josh Oliver has been pretty solid in his role this year IMO I don’t know if the problem with Boyle is just health. It looks like in recovery he dropped a crap ton of weight. He still looks small, but looks bigger than he did in camp. If he can bulk up and be what he used to be, I’ll take his hands over Oliver. 4 hours ago, M.10.E said: Josh Oliver has been solid this year. I disagree. He’s averaging 5.2 yards per target following up an abysmal 4.4 yards per target last season. He’s not a dominating enough of a blocker to be putting up those type of receiving numbers IMO. He needs to be at least around 6-7 YPT. Patrick Ricard has been a solid receiver IMO. Oliver has been below average. And it’s not like they’ve just been bad targets. I feel like some of them, had they been Likely or Andrews would have been caught. They were slightly off target throws in some cases that because of Oliver’s slower reaction time led to double catches and/or drops. We need to be preparing for the playoffs and finding which options can be our best receiving threats moving forward. If we had Bateman on the team, I’d be okay with Oliver. But as it stands we need more receiving talents to emerge and if that means Charlie Kolar and running 3-4 TE sets, then so be it. But I don’t see Oliver as someone to rely on within a playoff run.

M.10.E Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Ken McKusick, PFF, and my eyeballs value Oliver this year so I'm going to trust them. YPT on such a small sample size is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
