As a receiver he was so useless though. I really dislike Pettigrew

I truly hope Fauria is TE1 going forward. In the red zone it isn't even fair to throw him a jump ball



but how is fauria blocking? don't underrate a good blocker.

Honestly, Fauria's blocking in games has not been bad at all.....although the coaches were less than impressed with his blocking in camp (drills, practices?).

But we definitely need a middle-of-the-field weapon to keep opposing D's honest. And I've gotten to the point where I cringe whenever Pettigrew gets the ball (whenever he doesn't drop it) because he fumbles way too much and too easily.

I think Broyles is that middle of the field threat once healthy. We also need to keep Bush on his feet as long as possible, i don't think Fauria provides that lie pettigrew

Pettigrew or not, Bush won't last thru this entire season....as evidenced by him already being banged up with Pettigrew in there blocking.

??????? its football. he played through all that last game, making a prediction like that based on 1 game is premature. there is concern
