I really pray Quon comes on over the next 3 preseason games. He's gotten so much hype and now he needs to show the reason--y'know, don't tell me about the labor, show me the baby.....*smirk*
There are guys trying hard to make this team. I just hope we don't keep someone around just because he was a first round pick. I'm tired of hearing about how he's a practice world champion.

Same old same old for Treadwell. You hear a bunch of excuses and then hype about how great he looks, and then gameday arrives and he completely disappears.

If he doesn’t show VAST improvement this preseason, I hope to hell they cut him in favor of someone who is actually producing (Coley, Zylstra, Beebe, etc.).

On Diggs’ TD, I was looking right, towards Thielen and Tread. IIRC, Thielen went right and Tread cut left towards the middle and was open. More open than Diggs. But the ball went left to Diggs.

I did not watch the entire game, but I saw him twice
Not finishing a block on a long run that could have been longer
&
In the end zone
Celebrating a Diggs TD

The Enigma remains...

Nothing to be gleaned about Tread really in that game and I say that as a strong critic of Laquon. The Broncos were blitzing heavily right out of the gate so Flip adjusted accordingly.

Treadwell is what he is. I don't have any illusions about him anymore. Maybe he will surprise me this year. I just don't see how he gets enough touches to ever justify being a 1st round pick. Some of it out of his hands by Theilen's emergency some of it is on him for not beating others out for more playing time. He won't get cut this year but he won't be back next either. Just my opinion.
Edit: maybe not earning more playing time was incorrect. He is in on alot of plays. Not getting enough looks and touches because of separation is more accurate.

Treadwell and Cousins have a connection in camp, that will translate to the field at some point, I hardly think that 4 passes with the starting QB should be much of an indicator on where things are at with him. Remember how Thielen didnt look like a whole lot until the back up QBs (that he worked with offseason and in practice) got their chances and that chemistry he had with them and their comfort with him came through. Some guys wont get wide open... Cris Carter always seemed to have somebody on his hip or posted up and they still knew that he was open if it was only single coverage and that he would make the catch if they put the ball away from the defender. I see Treadwell as that type of player, he has the big frame to shield the defender and has shown good hands and concentration.

I hope your right. I really hope you Carter comparison is right. That would be something. There's a long way to go towards that.
