Pat Mahomes could make my grandmother into an elite wide receiver.

I wouldn't be shocked if this past week lights a fire under Giles and he finds the end zone Saturday night.

O raved about how our d couldn't cover him on scout team last year.
He's had some bad drops.
I still think he can be a factor.

Yeah could be right. He might have top speed for separation in the Big 12 but I guess he's just average speed going up against SEC DB's

Why do you support continuing to give a player snap who isn’t producing when given the opportunity? Especially when their are options on the bench?

You are being downvoted, but you are correct.

Giles can return punts. But in SEC play it may come down to one catch(I’m looking st you Trey Quinn), I would not trust Giles to make that catch.

I don't get the Racey McMath comment by Ed...Are the 2 freshman not picking up the system? Seems with Anderson, Sullivan & Jefferson doing well, along with Giles & Dillon, do we need 8 wr's in the mix?

If the story is true and he asked for number 7 then he really needs to produce

Not ripping on Giles. I'd be really happy if he caught fire one week. But so far, that Giles has not shown up. The one who is tentative on returns, drops passes, doesn't get separation is the only one I've seen. Bench time might be good for helping the young man regain his motivation and focus.

I listened to an interview with him about 1.5 years ago. I was so impressed with the kid that when I got home I told my wife that this guy will be a superstar in the NFL. He's a very impressive QB and an even more impressive person.

Giles has butterfingers. Bench him & let some one else have a chance!

We've had great WRs struggle with catching the ball that both went on to have multiple success years in the NFL (D.Bowe and B.LaFell). Trey Quinn had the drops too and was undersized like Giles. Quinn is in the league and on the 53 man roster.

Giles needs to break out of the slump and he will.

I think that's why coach O was talking about Racey McMath yesterday. I don't think Giles is getting benched but i do think his offensive snaps well go down a bit.

I've seen plays where Burrow has looked Giles off when he was open. I'm sure its because of his drop issues. When your qb losses confidence in your hands that's a very bad thing.

Justin Jefferson and Chase would be fine in the slot

I think Jefferson should be in the slot, with Dee and Chase on the outside

Not ready to give up on him yet, I would like to see chase get a few reps in his spot though. If he or other players are having a hard time getting open you have to run plays that help them out/get them open(screens, rub routes, combo routes, etc.).
