This place is so totally predictable. There always has to be a whipping boy. Lots of team would be overjoyed to take Metcalf off the Hawks hands. He’s being paid well because he’s a good WR who’s Big and Fast.
Geno was responsible for both those late thrown picks telegraphed so they could be undercut in one case and then right to the DB 3 yards away from Metcalf. Neither fairly were the fault of the WR.
Geno is a surprise to us all and the collective league this year with his steady and solid play but he isn’t a Mahommes, or an Allan, but he’s certainly good enough but at times forces plays and makes critical errors.
I like the fact that Metcalf doesn’t take any crap and was ready to knock the snot out of Ramsay or anyone who hits his QB late out of bounds. Teams need that guy who is tough and unafraid to defend their own. At times though he needs to temper his temper.
I really wanted to see someone smack Rapp in the mouth after that dirty unnecessary sideline hit on Lockett, which should have beed a roughing call. I’m here to defend Metcalf and think all those who want to get rid of him are out of their minds. He’s a key foundational piece and will in time grow up some.
