He strikes me as someone who thinks his physical gifts are enough. His mentals (as Beast Mode would say) are not where they need to be. He lacks the fire and desire to be the best and just hopes his raw athleticism will carry him through his career.

Nope.

He just keeps making these bone-headed mistakes which all of us here are incredibly sensitive and tuned into as die-hard Hawk fans. We all know here the kind of physical gifts he has, and that's what's made it so frustrating.

I would put money on the reason they are trying to move him now is not only from his play on the field, but also him potentially being a locker room issue.

I can't think of a team so desperate to trade for him. There are plenty of guys like Shaquille Griffin on teams PS that I would choose to sign before trading for Woolen (if I were a NFL GM).

That's what I see. Maybe a change of scenery will be the spark? Lord knows I'm pulling for him...to be the starting corner of the 1st team we play in the post season.

1000%.

I genuinely like the kid, but we got football games to win and he's a perpetual liability.

Trade Reek if anyone offers. I kinda doubt anyone will, any more than anyone was gonna give us anything for LJ Collier or Cody Barton.

Unlike those two, riq has been a behavioral issue from the start. Even starting to replace him could elicit a Devondre Campbell response where he just refuses to go in. Let’s say that’s week 10. We could suspend him for four games max or release him to join Pete and Geno for free.

Is a straight swap feasible? Our lcb for theirs?

Coaches are like women. They see a decent looking dude - partial screw up and figure they can fix them right up - no problem.


There will be a coach who drools over the measurable.

Plenty of stupid coaches that think they can fix him….

Like certain one that keeps playing him so far
