We need to talk about Tipton

I’m not making the argument that time and production in preseason games, in isolation, dictate outcomes. I am saying that for all the complaining and criticizing of Perry I read, every time I see him on the field, I see a guy making plays.

Two things here: Did you watch his 9ers game? He was down right awful. Dropped passes, OPI, bad routes, bad blocking, etc.

Which brings up his biggest issue that DA has spoke about - he's inconsistent. He's also playing against teams 3/4th depth guys.

Conversely, I don’t know what Wilson has done to secure a spot ahead of Perry because there isn’t anything for me to base that on other than opinions stated here. It’s why I’m not saying you’re wrong but asking what it’s based on.

Cedrick can block which is something AT can't. That alone is going to give him snaps over AT. Remember we are going to be a run first offense.

I’ve also learned that what reporters say they are seeing isn’t always predictive of what a team ends up doing.

Which is true to some extent but the fact that AT was playing garbage minutes in our last preseason game is an indicator of where he stands with the staff. Not good.

From an outsiders perspective AT is close to being WR5 than WR3.
