Def, I was little shocked last year hearing he was on the dog house but glad to see him bounce back.

I actually think it's quite common around the league for guys that have some success in their rookie year. They come back thinking "they made it" and maybe don't work as hard or whatever the case may be; it's one reason why we always hear about that sophomore slump. In hindsight it seems as though Kyle recognized it early and while we were mad when it was going on; whatever he and our staff did seems to have worked and prevented him from continuing in that downward trajectory. It was well known how much Kyle freaking loved Aiyuk his draft year and I do also believe we see his best season yet coming up!!

Seems like Kyle uses the Doghouse to test the way a player responds and whether they need to put more draft capital in early round receivers. Pettis... fell flat, Aiyuk responded and now knows what it takes to be a starter. No one was drafted or signed to take over WR1 or WR2, with Pettis welp thats what led to Aiyuk.

Deebo too. The door was open to that dog house but he never made it inside but IIRC, he talked about how Kyle was on his ass too.

Kyle is a former WR so he probably subconsciously expects more and can detail why and how it should be done like no other position.

Do you think WR's need more loving and and attention than other positions? I'd like to believe we live in a world where everyone is an adult at that age, but that position brings out the worst in people sometimes.

Is it me or is this dude bigger? His shoulders look massive for a WR

Shoulders? Who cares. What about his calfs?

Calfs? What about his shoulder fitness?

As of June 2022? Na, but I understand the hype. It's no secret that aiyuk likes trey more than Jimmy and I see trey using him like a safety blanket with the chemistry they are developing.

BA will be utilized more and have his best season yet but no way is he a better player than Deebo, even if his numbers are better. Deebo does more with less than any player in the NFL.

I don't see Aiyuk getting more targets, catches or yards then Deebo. That's just me. Not mentioned enough is Deebo league leading 18.3 yards per reception with short throwing Jimmy g. I think they both have big tears but do not see a 1/2 debate. I believe it'll remain clear. It'll be interesting to see if Aiyuk cuts into Kittle imo. Can all 3 eat?

That's my only question, I think Trey can lead to 2 of them having big seasons, but with our tendency of spreading it around I'm not sure we'll have 3.

I'm looking at 4,000 yards, a big season for WR's is what 1400? Big for TE 1,000, that doesn't leave much for the likes of Jennings, Juice, Ray Ray, Gray and the RB's.

So I'm doubting all 3 eat.

They won't, but they don't need to. Alvin Harper was lethal against us and he never put up 1000 yards. I think the RBs as a whole will eat, and likely Deebo and Kittle but it won't be the same way other top 5 receivers or tight ends eat. All three will make big plays that will demoralize a D all year long however. It's like having three guys in your starting 5 bball team that can average 25-30 ppg.
