Kirkwood and Ben Watson not spotted at today’s practice (1 Viewer)

[Saint Kamara]

Watson definitely looks like a rest day.

We are not referring to him as Kirky, sorry.

It seems one step shy of calling him Kirky Boo Boo or something.

What about Captain or Cap?

Kirk would....

 

[FGE413]

Kirkwood's had a decent 1/2 year for a guy who was never supposed to come off the practice squad, but if we have play Carr at WR4, so be it. Lewis scares me with his penchant for fumbling and Arnold seems like he's firmly in Payton's doghouse (Garrett Griffin was active over him vs. PHI).

I remember seeing Kirkwood limp off the field in the 4th quarter, but I didn't notice if he ever came back. That would suck. As far as I'm concerned, he's our #2 WR.

Um, hello.
Ted Ginn?

Carr doesn’t have the size, speed, or strength that Kirky has... If he plays and Kirky can’t, that’s a downgrade at that spot.

And for the record... I’m not trying to compel or sway anyone to call him Kirky. That’s my thing. It’s a nickname in-line w/ a lot of hockey player nicknames where you just add a “y” or “er” onto the name and roll with it... ex. “Kaner” for Patrick Kane.

Can’t Guard Kirky Boo Boo Wood it is!

I kept reading "Kirby" for some reason... I was like .... what?

This is not hockey, this is football. Stop with the crap.

I dread having Carr out there, scared of having TLL out there, and I don't think anybody on the offense trusts Arnold right now for some reason.

My eyes say Arnold is the better of the 3, but since he's never active over Carr or TLL -- if Kirkwood is hurt I think we're gonna be seeing Carr.

Either way, Kirkwood being absent from practice was my biggest worry today.

Tre'Quan Smith will probably see more looks and get more snaps.

I love Ginn, but Kirkwood, in my opinion, has been clutch as of late. Drew and Payton both really seem to trust him as well.

Thanks for the insight. Not that it makes "Kirky" any less quirky douchilicious. But it's your drunk-falcon funeral, so...

Logged in to say it... Kirky

Was Kirkwood clutch when he dropped that 3rd down convertion vs the Steelers? no that was Ginn who came back and converted that 4th down and had a 5 catch 70yrd game (basically Kirkwoods season total in one game)

Kirkwood gives you a target but he is no more than a 2 catch 15-20yrd performer where as Ginn is a 4-5 catch 70yrd guy who solidifies the offense by playing the Devery Henderson role on offense.
