With Rishard listed with an illness and Landry with a bum knee, there is a good chance we could see Parker quite a bit today...Here's to hoping.
I'm hoping too man, he needs to be a part of the game plan. Its not as if the other WR and TE are lighting the world on fire lately. Get the rookie into the game.
I'm at the point where I simply do not care anymore. My faith and hope is at a season low and after todays loss against the Jets hibernation will pretty much be option A. With that said i'd love to see (sorry, listen to) some Devante Parker.
Someone explain to me why coaches haven't played Parker much before? He's playing relatively well. It can't just be an "injury" issue.
Injuries were part of it, at two different times, but beyond that, its been confusing. Rather than using more of a rotation, they play Landry and Matthews almost 100% of the snaps, and Stills on most of the ones where we go 3-wide. Not giving Parker a quarter of the snaps, spelling the starters, makes no sense at all to me. Now that he's shown today that he can make plays when given the chance, hopefully we'll see more of him the rest of the season.
Nice moves on that garbage TD. Didn't get to watch the game, just NFL now and gamecast. I'm grateful I missed it, but wanted to see Parker. NFL now showed the Devante TD. He's shifty for a big guy.
Finished the game with 4 rec, 10 tar, 80 yards, TD. Let's see how Lazor utilizes him for the remainder of the season.
Exactly... Although he's built like a beast and has deceptive speed and agility for his size not to mention a ridiculous catch radius I like his potential for the future
I saw a bunch of incompletes early on in gamecast but I guess he turned in a good 3rd down catch and run when we were still in the game, somewhat. It's good he at least got his feet wet.
I had the game taken away from me before Tannehill's second TD, so I didn't see the end, but Parker made a lot of good plays today. Certainly more than most of our players have made in a while. With Matthews hurt, hopfully he'll see regular action in every game the rest of the way and we'll see how well he and RT can work together.
