I've addressed Duke ad nauseam...

TEs? Go to 2 TE sets with one as H-back. Also 1 TE with Hyde at FB for Duke... etc.

Maximize whacha got...

But it's much more fun to force square pegs in round holes. But we can make up for the results with cutesy pie plays inside the 5.?

But the Gordon crowd just doesn't want to accept the fact that he clearly didn't want to play here, otherwise he would've been in training camp with the team instead of off doing whatever he was doing. 

He's a dumbshit.  And when he showed up late and 'not himself" for a team meeting they decided that they had to get away from him.  -  As much as I love his talent, and as much as we sorely need him.....I agree with what they did.  He had to go.  

Of course now we're in a bit of a lurch at WR........but he'd have left us in a lurch had we not traded him anyway.  As many have said, He did not want to be here.

Some guys just are fixated on Gordon's long past great season. And forget about his numerous suspensions. He's one screw up away from another indefinite ban. 

Dorsey & Company obviously weighed the pros and cons of hanging on to Josh, and decided it was better to move on. Those screaming we shouldn't have traded him don't know the reasons, and I have to believe they were pretty good ones.

Didn't exactly look stelar against KC Sunday night either, 5 catches, 42 yards.

And Donmcdouche is the leader in living in the past and yelling about things in hindsight.   Spent all last season every week yelling about how we should've drafted Carson Wentz.  

Everyone is an expert with hindsight vision.   But the Gordon crowd just doesn't want to accept the fact that he clearly didn't want to play here, otherwise he would've been in training camp with the team instead of off doing whatever he was doing.   Then the phantom hamstring injury that miracles of miracles goes away as soon as he's traded.   He didn't want to play here and its my belief that the phantom injuries would've kept appearing in order to keep him off the field.

You obviously missed his most recent game with multiple chances to take the ball away from defenders and no longer having the ability to do so.

Idiotic move to trade him!!!!

The worst thing about having WR problems is that we are going to listen a lot about Josh Gordon.

He was given many more chances than players (even good players) usually receive. He is past.

Last year's receiving corp wasn't good either, but at least we have a decent QB now, and a better RB core I'd say. Progressing all the season even through injuries can be an important lesson for this young team.

My prediction...this is Hue Jackson's last year in the NFL. No one will touch him after this.

It does show the value of a legitimate deep threat WR or lack of one to stretch the defence and open up big plays underneath.
