On to Miami .. PRACTICE news

[Patjew]

Oh wow.

Just BB's strategy to have the guys nice and tuckered out and in bed by 10:30.

I realize you're kidding, but I do always wonder about the young guys in South Beach, particularly on New Year's Eve...worse things than getting in late (they can go out tomorrow night )

They have Sat nite walk through and team meal - no one is going anywhere.

 

[Wheelman]

Oh wow.

Bob Kraft cheaping out on travel costs. What a surprise...

 

[Soul_Survivor88]

Was Goodell part of the refueling?

Yeah, but 2 weeks to recoup.

I am more concerned about him being hobbled in the playoffs than about his availability for Miami. He has made an impact on the offense with some clutch catches and has slowly become a player opponents need to respect. Hope he can get over the injury until the AFCCG.

More opportunities for Floyd seems to be the consensus.

From what little I saw of him, Floyd -- and to emphasize, I am talking about on the field only -- reminded me of the former tight end Who Shall Not Be Named. Similar size and movement. Small sampling of course but an intriguing player. Could give playoff opponents something else to think about.

I'm more concerned with his decreasing production.
His last 3 games are 8/84
The 3 before were 17/222
He can't afford to miss time.

He hasn't practiced all week. If he can't play today when will he be able to practice again? After a nice stretch his production is dwindling. I'm worried he won't be much of a factor in the playoffs if he is out of sync with the offense.

Add in the PI call against the Jets and it doesnt look that bad. In Denver he was a victim of the conservative gameplan really. I think you are reading a bit too much into those numbers once you consider the context.

Reading too much into less than half as productive?

 

[luuked]

Reading too much into less than half as productive?

Yes.

You can add around 60 yards if the Jets defender doesn't interfere with the pass. And then you'd need to normalize your expectations for his Denver output based on the gameplan. We don't play the same team every week so you can't just compare one 4 week stretch with another 4 week stretch.

I don't see an issue...

I see a 3 game stretch of #1 like production falling into a few scraps then missing time with an injury. It's a real concern I think.

I am as concerned about him as I was about Edelman in the first half of the season. Not at all. I get your point but I think the opponents and situations in those games made the difference in statistical production.

When he starts dropping balls or making mental mistakes (wrong routes, lining up wrong..) is when I get worried. Until then we are a matchup offense that goes against opponent's weaknesses and can have different emphasis every week.

See I saw a guy who can be productive for that stretch nit a guy who just doesn't screw up.
I'm hoping for more than just not screwing up and making excuses that he can't get open against some teams or production dropping by more than half is ok because of a PI call.
perhaps our expectations are different.
