All I know is this is a VERY tough place for a rookie. I'm glad the coaching staff is more patient than the message board folks :lol:
Furthermore WR's such as Randy Moss made their whole careers on those sorts of routes. You're absolutely right about this being an MO for the offense. Brown, Lockett, and Moore all played the same role that Metcalf is playing right now at one time or another. Same routes, same everything. I remember people complaining about Lockets route running and wondering why he only ran a few routes two years back. We seem to always have that designated GO receiver. It just happens to fit DK Metcalf's skillset as well.McGruff":1mri8qee said:SoulfishHawk":1mri8qee said:Maybe those are the routes they are asking him to run?
They are the routes that were run by Brown and Moore last year, and Lockett at the position before.
That appears to be a substantial part of how they scheme that position.
That it plays into Metcalf's strengths is not coincidence.

This trade makes no sense. Receiver is literally the least of our needs. we need linemen and DBs
Not even sure we need DB's. Maybe a nickel guy and backup CB. I'm pretty comfortable with the starters at CB. The safeties are a work in progress with Thompson, Hill, Blair and Umadi all competing. Not sure throwing a 5th guy into that mix will help.
But I agree that WR isn't a big need right now with guys sitting on the bench every week.
It's like people want to toss our entire draft in the toilet with a couple trades. WR and DB were needs this offfseason and we drafted guys to develop. That takes some time.

Diggs was raised and went to college in Maryland makes $15mil per, and Trent makes just under $15mil per.
This seems like the best fit for both teams and both players.

Not sure we need DBs? Have you watched our DBs? We need a CB and safety. Flowers and TT aren't getting us to a SB.
