Good point EG. Gluten doesn't strike me as the type to play that game. Diggs was cut after one game, I'm certain, because he's just not that good anymore.
Yes. Way too much.
Good catch. If Diggs is insisting on keeping his old contract - well he's not gonna get much interest.
His old contract is null and void, after the Packers cut him. But yes, based on his most recent performances with the Cowboys/Packers, no team will come anywhere near offering him the $19.4M/year the Cowboys were paying him.
That low number of targets surprises me considering the number of wide receiver injuries Frisco had over 2 years. But then, the 9ers run an offense built around CMC and Kittle and a FB. They shoot for the wideouts when the rest gets bogged down like they did with Deebo. But clearly, Skye could get his chance in GB since we are an equal opportunity passing attack.
Why's that? SF's pass catchers last year were pretty banged up, and not very good, and Moore still didn't get a shot.
What puzzles me is how quickly his performance has dropped. I think he’s still in his mid maybe late 20s. Pretty sure he was a 1st or 2nd All Pro one season.
When Desmond Howard won the SB MVP in 97 he was targeted very few times at WR. So it’s not unusual to see a team hold a roster spot for a pure specialist on returns.
Hopefully he hangs on to the ball. If he does; I think he'll get some chances. He better hang on to punts and know the rules for KO returns.
Howard got few reps if any in preseason. When Robert Brooks suffered an ACL against Frisco on MNF Holmgren sent Desmond in for several plays. He misran a short curl pattern resulting in a Favre INT. So he was pulled and they used Beebe and Freeman the rest of the game.
Remember that well. Beebe was a very underrated cog on that machine with all the injuries we incurred at receiver. Back on subject, it appears that Moore is only a return specialist. I don't see him making much of a mark at WR.
I think he was a 3rd round pick. As Packer fans, we know well how unpredictable round 3 picks can perform. At least Moore found a role on returns. His numbers have been good and he will help STs make a difference in the game.
Yeah Beebe wasn't an All Pro, but he was speedy and useful as a WR.
Great memory there milani! I remember the players. I don't remember those details. And you did mention Beebe who, as I recall, was a decent and very fast receiver. I forgot Brooks tore his ACL.
Good point as the new rules on KO returns are, at least to me, confusing. Returners need to be very careful with balls landing right around the goal line. I think if the ball is caught in play but the returner's backward momentum takes him briefly into the EZ - the ball has to be returned - I think....
Not sure if it is his fear or the team's trepidation that he will get hurt and that the wear will impact his DB performance, which is an area we are sub par already.
