DPJ and Reynolds play different positions. So yes, Reynolds will not lose snaps or "Y" receiver targets to DPJ. But DPJ is not only an "X" receiver, which will get whatever snaps/ targets an "X" receiver will get; but he is also a younger, more well-rounded, tougher, more dependable WR than than Reynolds. "Years connection" means jack squat when DPJ gets more targets simply to move the chains (X job) more often than Reynolds gets downfield targets (Y job). I know that's a gross simplification, but that's generally what's going to happen. If Reynolds loses snaps, it won't be to DPJ, it will be to Jamo. This is the 5th time I've said as much... No one is listening? DPJ is "brand new"? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Goff is not allowed to throw the ball to DPJ because he's "brand new"? There's a 60-day waiting period (moratorium?) before Goff is allowed to throw to DPJ? The reasoning in here on Josh Reynolds is getting worse by the minute.

Does this work for you better NY? I'm calling DPJ the #2, from now until the end of the season, he'll get the 2nd most WR targets after ASB. Does "X" work better for you? Reynolds was NOT the X receiver, he was the Y. From now until the end of the season, he'll be 3rd on the target list. If Jamo gets up to speed... it won't be DPJ losing targets, it will be Josh. Or maybe even a little of both as I'm not certain exactly how they'll want to use him... But I think Longgone is correct, Jamo will mostly be a Y... That's what I said originally. I'm not going to change anything I've said. DPJ will get the 2nd most targets as the X receiver (I'm calling that the #2 but... whatever...). DPJ will be the "do-anything/everything" receiver that will be all over the field getting targeted everywhere. Not more than ASB, but 2nd most. So I guess I am saying that not only will DPJ be the X receiver (#2... haha) but that he will ALSO get the 2nd most WR targets, after ASB. Josh will get 3rd most targets as Y receiver (#3 in my book but I seem to be getting overruled here... no worries. And I seem to be doubling up again on both position (#3) AND targets... but I think that will end up being correct).

Past tense. Yes, you are.

My point is that it doesn't take anything to display antisemitism. Any excuse will do. Is there any antisemitism without a war? Why yes, yes there is. In America, Jews are roughly 2.4% of the population. But are the target of roughly 60% of hate crimes. Before the war. Without a war. Hate crimes exploded against Asian-Americans after Trump said "China Flu". People are predisposed towards hatred and will use any excuse to display it.

I do agree with this part... It IS important to know why those expressing hatred are acting out as such. War is a causation that can be fixed: with no war. Pure hatred out of unreasonableness is less preventable or fixable. But back to the war side of it... The U.S. is not going to refrain from war against Japan after Pearl Harbor because of anti-war or anti-American demonstrations. The U.S. is not going to refrain from tracking down criminal mastermind Osama Bin Laden because there will be casualties in Afghanistan, and the subsequent anti-American demonstrations and hatred... Israel has the same right to defend it's citizens against these terrorists. Even though it will cause countless deaths in Gaza, and the subsequent anti-Israel/Jewish/ antisemitic/ antiwar demonstrations. A little of each.

It doesn't matter WHY that happened. Surrounding, heckling, intimidating, impeding a Jewish person... BECAUSE of the war, does not change antisemitism into NOT. Similar to America creating casualties in Afghanistan while they went after Bin Laden. There were Anti-American demonstrations all over the world due to the casualties/ deaths caused by that war. Are you sayin that they were NOT anti-American demonstrations... because it was simply due to the war? That doesn't make sense. Antisemitism is antisemitism, REGARDLESS whether the reason or cause is pure hatred of Jews, sectarianism, war, whatever... Antisemitism is still antisemitism.

Dude... You're the one trying to wriggle out of calling antisemitism antisemitism by splitting hairs/ reaching for justifications to do so.

You're living in the past dude.

Which means he's the #3 guy. I'm not saying he's losing his #3 spot... because Jamo just isn't ready yet. But he's the #3 receiver. "By default" doesn't qualify.

You're trying to "default" Reynolds into the #2 from the lack of a real #2. I'm not giving you an answer on past history. I'm telling you what's going to happen from now until the end of the season.

You are not correct. But... Let's just see what happens on the field. And take it from there...

No... DPJ is going to become the #2. Sort of an Amon-Ra-lite. Josh's highest targets was 80 with the Rams in 2020. 618 yards. His next highest is 59 last year with the Lions, 479 yards; and his numbers look like he'll hit roughly 60 targets this year, but might bust through his highest yardage total as he has 397 so far this year. He's 28 y.o. He's used primarily as a deep threat. DPJ had 96 targets last year and 839 yards. He's 24 y.o. He's used inside/ outside/ deep threat/ short/ intermediate/ tough catches. How exactly is Josh going to be the #2. His familiarity with Goff? Oh wait... he's NOT going to be the #2. Josh will be the #3 deep guy as he's always been with Goff. Not an every-type of catch in the book guy like DPJ. When Jamo gets up to speed; he will first pressure Josh for playing time at the #3 deep threat guy. He should be able to grow into more than that... but he'll first need to beat out Josh with reliability... and he's not there yet. Just my 2 cents.

Wrong answers/ choices. Correct answer: Patrick Surtain II

How is it possible to increase Palestinian hatred, contempt, and antisemitism (wrong word, they are also Semites; try anti-Jewish hatred) towards the Jews? Answer: It's NOT possible. They already want to exterminate all Jews. So: how is it possible to increase hatred, above that?

Holmes has built this team into a playoff-quality team. With talent. Everywhere. All the other whining in here is meaningless.

Lions are expecting James Houston to return... And I think they like Julian Okwara at this point, as a pass-rush specialist... Don't know if they were factoring that in... Just sayin'...

I'd prefer a CB over a pass-rusher, btw.

Yeah, good job buddha! Might be competition for Jamo this year but I think it's eventually Josh Reynolds that loses out. All depends on Jamo and his learning curve (which has admittedly been quite long so far...)

Donovan Peoples-Jones...

The makeshift interior O-line played surprisingly outstanding... that's a game-winner right there. That includes opening lanes just enough for Gibbs to squeeze through and then display his magic... And Skipper playing LG and noone misses a beat?!?! Dayum!!! Yes, nice to see Fraley get highlighted by the MNF announcers...

Maybe they were all just waiting to see if the murderer needed assistance?

Key point. And great comeback from the Ravens game. Particularly that they were basically in control of the game from start to finish... Despite some snafus...

What a rube.

And they did that with 3 make-shift interior lineman AND an injury to LG Awosika, so Skipper plays LG? I'm impressed with this team. No doubt.

Also... that should NOT have stayed a fumble on Craig. He was down.
