Off topic abit but they need to get Juice involved more also going forward. He is the fullback version of Kittle and is a mismatch nightmare out there. He is a weapon that needs to get 4 or 5 targets a game min. And they paid him over $5 Million per year.

We averaged 12 YPA. The Lions weren't able to stop what we were doing, so we never really needed to dig very far into the bag of tricks.
I hope he doesn't wilt in the doghouse like Pettis. Man I had high hopes for him...

Sometimes old school coachs have a boner for hard workers type of guys. It´s crystal clear that Aiyuk is the best WR in this team but well maybe he´s injured, maybe he doesn´t work his ass of, maybe the guy from the Cards is actually better than him (sic). All I know is that Shanahan should have every reasons to use Aiyuk specially because he ´s the one that drafted him in the first round in the first place.

Did you not catch Deebo's performance Sunday? Aiyuk now has a looooooong way to go if he wants to be the #1 guy on this team. Good problem to have.

Deebo was in the "doghouse" at one point, I remember kyle saying he didn't show up in shape and that was a problem.

Deebo showed up this camp ready to role and is being rewarded with a s**t ton of first reads and wide open play-calls.

That's the difference between working hard for your spot and just expecting the starting job to be handed to you.

Just needs to get healthy and take advantage of the opportunities presented to him.

Judging by the way he criticized the team on social media for cutting Sanu last year, I'm guessing he's not that mature. If he gets pouty about this he will end up being the next Pettis.

Seriously? It's quite possible he just liked having a veteran presence around him while he was learning as a rookie.

lol he said "WHY??? WTF!!!" Incredibly unprofessional. Publicly criticizing his team over a move is disrespectful
and immature. It makes Lynch look bad when his own players are tweeting "WTF!!" in response to his moves.

The dude that just took his job is HUNGRY. He didn't have everything handed to him and had to bust his ass to go from UDFA special teamer to starting WR for Kyle-f**king-Shanahan. Something tells me Sherfield is about to make sure Aiyuk stays leashed up.

#1 Deebo
#2 Sherfield
#3 Aiyuk
#4 Sanu

I still think WR3 is a good spot for Aiyuk. He'll get his opportunities to move up during the season.

Seems like WR is the position Shanny scrutinizes the most. Perhaps because he was a WR himself.

Just a waste. Kyle doesn't know how to manage players.

Because he's not happy with his performance.

Aiyuk is being outplayed by a special teams guy that was cut by the Cardinals. Not good. Not good at all.

Yeah.. not good when you have to motivate someone who looked promising the previous year... Definitely not good..

So you think a coach should just assign playing time by draft position? Lol

Some of these guys think they've arrived after a halfway decent rookie season.

It's a great problem to have. Going into this season the wr depth was meh. If Sherfield continues to be productive then the depth is looking much better.
In other words... trent has surprised fans and coaches! good for us...
