Josh Norris highlighting Gabe clearly not 100 percent

I blame dorsey for this

[Brand J]

Get him outta there until he’s 100%. I’d rather have a fully healthy Shakir, Austin, or Hodges taking those reps than a hobbled Gabe.

Live with the trainers, as Josh said he was doing. We knew this was a danger at a shallow position, but it’s far from over. Best to peak for our Christmas presents!

This could be the curse of Dorsey’s iPad.

Davis is hurting this team. He's beginning to be a selfish jerk for insisting to play and not let the up and coming receivers play. Is he afraid to lose his job? 

[CEN-CAL17]

It hurts Kumerow is out or Gabe could sit…. But it’s tough to roll out there with Diggs, McKenzie, Shakir and Austin? Hodges? Gabe is more a distraction other teams have to account for…. People notice he isn’t hardly targeted right?

[Matt_In_NH]

Hopefully they perform a hands transplant stat!

[Buffalo_Stampede]

We could see it in the practice videos. It’s likely a pain tolerance thing but he has no explosion. Let him rest. Give Hodgins a game.

Obviously something is wrong with him.  He has had an ankle injury for weeks.  Its pretty common knowledge.  Just because Josh hasn't gone deep as much as last season isnt necessarily indicating his injury is the reason.  It likely is but there are other factors.  Biggest one being new OC with his own ideas on play design and play calls.  Second could simply be the defense we are facing, the gameplan, etc.  Im sure his ankle plays a part of it.  Nothing anyone can do about it.  It will heal when it heals.

Gabe has had no troubling getting open from what i’ve seen.

 

His trouble has been catching the ball.

 

Are his ankles connected to his hands somehow?

The ankle is affecting his overall game. He’s lost focus.

Yep…McBeane took a chance and it’s biting them now. Davis or Diggs getting hurt was always gonna hurt this team about as much as anything outside of Allen getting hurt. Our identity is as a passing team and I don’t think we did enough at receiver or oline. But…we sure did bolster that defense, huh?

To me it’s at the top of his route where he’s having trouble. Stopping. That’s right at the moment the ball is coming.

[Einstein]

Wow that would have been a huge play if Josh saw him.

We dont even know how Shakir will do because as much as I love this staff they do not like to play rookies unless they are forced to.  They wouldnt even play Gabe when it was clear he was a good receiver.

I think we will see Tavon Austin.  He looked pretty good in his few snaps in preseason.  As for Hodgkins, Pittsburg might be a good place to try him a little.  I agree, sit Davis...no explosion off that ankle.

I dunno. Some of these drops were well after he stopped.

You can tell he is lacking his burst and his cuts arent that great.  However, I do agree.  He did get open.  He did get targeted on the money.  The ball went right through his hands.  That wasnt from his ankle.  Even happened to Diggs though.  Probably rain had something to do with that.

Yeah I mean whether or not he is lacking explosiveness, he is getting open. The guy is just dropping everything.

Josh hasn't gone deep as much because 25% of his games were in the pouring rain, and another 25% were played in a sauna with receivers & O-linemen dropping like flies. This will correct itself.
