As far as the Bolt wideout situation is concerned, IMO, hope is that Allen continues to develop, Floyd and Royal can stay (relatively) healthy and Brown's poor showing was due to either lingering injury or a new injury and the ability he's flashed early in his career shows up consistently in games. If Tutu plays any significant amount of time, that would mean injuries to the top 4 were pretty significant.

Count the numbers of plays he's been in and how many times he's been targeted, then tell me that. Even allowing that he's not the first or second target, he just doesn't get open enough to throw to. That's what i've seen of him, plus his stats back that up.
For him to be that kinda WR, he needs to take a couple giant leaps forward. Love to see that happen for him but it's his 5th seaaon, most likely we've seen the best he's got (3 catches, 4 targets ladt year, so I guess your prediction for him is a wee bit low going by his stats...).

Could be even fewer then last year. I could see us run the ball a lot more, especially if the D allows us to get some early leads.
But regardless of how we end up yard wise, I think we will score a lot more points, and allow somewhat less.

Do I think he's the type of guy who will be putting up those sorts of numbers for us? No. He is what he is, a very solid bottom-of-the-rotation WR who excels at special teams and is a good citizen and a team player. Not sure why so many people are so eager to discredit him and bump him from the roster.Adipose

These numbers are extrapolations based on what he has already produced. Or do we so quickly forget? Are we so short sighted that we can only remember a couple of big catches last season? Can we not remember 2010, when we were so desperate at WR that AJ tried to get QSmokey and SDfan's phone numbers??? When Seyi was forced into a major role, he responded with good numbers. 3 catches for 48 yards followed the next week by 4 catches for 111 yards. Ok, yes, to extrapolate that to the numbers I got is a bit Yuba-like, but it's a lot more realistic than your fantasy football-like expectation that the 5th WR on the depth chart should be expected to have a 40-catch season!
All I have done is demonstrate that he is indeed capable of a 40-catch season, but it sure as heck ain't gonna come when he's the 5th WR. (And as much as I like Tutu, I hope he remains our 5th WR, because I don't want the WRs ahead of him getting injured.)Adipose

I like the guy, but he can be replaced.Last edited by MakoShark; 07-29-2014, 04:36 AM.sigpic
