YoloinOhio Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Btw can we give Duke a break on the TD he didn’t catch last year? It should not define him. Players evolve. Lots of players made mistakes in that game that they have improved upon this year. I guarantee it’s been on his mind every day since and he’s burning to get redemption.

DCofNC Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 A lot of Duke hate, rightfully so for the one big miss he had in the playoffs last year, but if he’s out there as a huge red zone target/mismatch, it’s not that bad, I trust him to catch a ball more than “The walking penalty” Lee Smith. Maybe they have been giving him reps as a hybrid TE?
Real McClappy Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Not sure I get all the Duke hate around here? He has been kept around and stashed for a reason on the PS squad. If he gets snaps today we can only hope he does well for us. GO Duke! 1 1

What the infatuation is with a WR who runs the 40 in a week and a half is beyond reason.

There was plenty of blame to go around in that game, from John Brown not getting his feet down at the 2 yard line on a pass from Allen, to Dion Dawkins completely wiffing on a block on a linebacker leading to a hit on Allen and a fumble, to Dawson Knox and Cody Ford running right by a single defender in OT that would have allowed Allen to run at least to the Houston 25 yard line, and many more in between. Williams was far from alone in failing to make a play he should have. 1

Saxum Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Duke was elevated to give him a Playoff Game check for all his hard work on practice squad. 1
RochesterLifer Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I'm going to guess (the word guess here is important) that Duke was elevated and on "hot standby" in case Cole felt discomfort in today's warm ups. Good, thoughtful (not surprising) preparation by McDermott.
PrimeTime101 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 This is a spread offense.. Someone reaggravates an injury.. no matter what its spread with quality

Duke was elevated in the event Beasley could not go. That was the only reason. Since he can go - Duke is inactive. Edited January 9, 2021 by Rochesterfan

The so called mistake was a difficult catch while getting hit mid torso (on really tight coverage) on a fast ball by Josh. Only an elite receiver catches that. which is exactly what we know Duke isnt. I'm not sure why fans expected him to catch it or even call it a drop especially when he had only played in a handful of games last year. The hate for this guy is bizarre.

It was a straight up drop in the EZ. One his 3 drops on the day. He's good at Canadian football though...
