I think Williams just got a bit rattled. If he were seriously concussed, I doubt they would have had him standing on the sideline for the remainder of the game. In any event, he's got more than a week to clear any cobwebs.

We will pay Tate and cut Rice.

They obviously saw something in Harper (4th?!) and Tate is definitely going to have a banner year. IF we win the SB, I hope we re-sign Tate, move Harvin.

I like Rice, I really do, I just don't like the salary that we have to pay him. Would love if he would take a pay cut but who knows.

Yup....like 6 regular season receptions and he is there.

He had a couple of unfortunate drops, but the numbers game at WR probably put a lot of pressure on him when he finally got a significant amount of reps in the last pre-season game. Don't give up on him as a player, there was a guy you may have heard of that was a former 1st round pick who struggled his rookie year with dropped passes...his name is Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice's rookie year he dropped quite a few passes and at one point during a game he broke down crying because of his struggles on the field. Now, no I'm not saying Harper is the next Jerry Rice, but he can still be the tough, physical, great hands WR that our coaching staff envisioned him to be.
Here is an article on Jerry Rice's struggle with drops his rookie year.
