Does anyone know if Kyle ever gets on the players for bad play?

Goddam, kid has the yips already
Whichever reporter who said Latu was having the worst camp of anyone they watched.. they weren't kidding. Dude wasn't drafted in the 3rd just to block. Super disappointing, but not the end of the world. Many rookies have bad drop problems and it's fixable.
Someone else said it though, as of right now he's another Vance McDonald.
VD dropped everything too until he saw the glory of Singletary's butt crack. Wonder if we can bring him back for a day to moon Latu.

Brock Purdy said he's "still trying to build back his volume and velocity with his throws."

He will run you out of town if he thinks it's an effort issue. Look at Pettis

Didn't know that. I was under the impression he just shot-the-s**t and looked at his play card. I don't think I've ever seen him get after a player.

I do say on Latu he is a rook and if we have big rook expectations for an end of round 3 TE, that's probably on us.

He put BA in the doghouse and now he's a stud. All depends how you react to that stuff. You can got the BA route or turtle up like Pettis did.

You're a NFL TE catch the ball at the very least. Thought it was an over draft. Hopefully he hits the jug machines and gets it figured out.

As long as one of Latu or BWillis shows talent to be a TE1, it'll be fine. Similar to the 49ers double dipping with Trey Sermon and Eli Mitchell - the day3 guy ended up being the good one. As long as it's one of them, doesn't matter which one.

TO couldn't catch for bleep, at the start. Head probably spinning with all he needs to grasp play by play, just to get lined up correct, and running the right stuff. If he needs a year to get things down like Gray did at wr, so be it, may happen.

This! I like Willis a lot better in the draft as most of us probably did. Way better and more polished imo. Latu will improve but how much is the question. Could be another Woerner that stays for 4 years or so and that's it.

In today's 11-on-11 situations with the Raiders, I had:
— Matt Barrows (@mattbarrows) August 10, 2023
* Brock Purdy 10-17
* Trey Lance 6-11
* Sam Darnold 1-3
Lance took more snaps than Darnold because of a more productive 2-minute drive to end practice. Brandon Allen did not get any 11-on-11 reps.

Yeah and TO was a bad ass in college. Latu was next to unnoticeable in college playing on the best team in the college. he was drafted multiple rds too early imo.
this was an amazing TE draft class and that's the route they went. We got like 5 TEs on this roster and he's having the worst camp out of all of them…reportedly out of every single player on the team actually. He doesn't get his s**t together, he's not making the roster.

NY, I'll wager you a soft drink, that he makes the roster
