Believe Geno is a heck of a lot stronger than DK, that guy is a survivor. Really it's McDonald needs to deal with it, he's getting tested as a rookie HC.

Isn't that what we want to say to Grubb

Geno's attitude is deteriorating with every game. His body language is about as bad as DK's.
But this thread is about DK, not Geno.

One thing Pete did when he first showed up is literally cut some dead weight that didn't buy in.
Remember Houshmandzadeh? goodbye, bitch. In my fantasy world, Schneider would talk to DK and say,
"hey, it would be in your best interest if you knocked this shit off, because I'm not above just fucking cutting
you if nobody wants to trade for you and you continue to undermine my new coaching staff, who's success
or failure directly impacts my job. I will choose McDonald and Grubb and myself over you. If we were just to cut you, it would brand you and make it very hard to catch another big contract".

McDonald doesn't seem to be as pessimistic

Coach Mike Macdonald said during his regular day-after-game news conference Friday morning that a review of the film made him feel a lot more optimistic about the team’s current state than some of the stats — and the three-game losing streak — might indicate.

Specifically, Macdonald pointed to a few plays involving the team’s most high-profile stars — quarterback Geno Smith and receiver DK Metcalf — as emblematic of how things have just been a little off of late.

“It helps put in perspective [that], yeah, we’re not there, but there’s opportunities where it might not be as far away as you would think,” Macdonald said.

DK cut his route short on the 2nd pick. Guy is a total head case, should have been apologizing to his teammates and the fans but instead bitched to his OC. I would be in favor of trading him now, but if they don't i certainly hope they won't consider re-signing him.

I've seen the replay several times as people argue about it. Mostly Gino worshippers making the DK fucked it up point.
My point is why is Geno trying to throw it to a covered DK running a sloppy route when JSN is wide open?

Maybe because DK is constantly bitching about not getting enough "opportunities". Well, he was targeted 11 times yesterday. The results: 3 receptions and an INT. With all his speed he still struggles to get separation.

Metcalf aside, I remember my dad, a Hall of Fame football coach in Washington, telling me in the 60’s that the team that controls the yard on either side of the line of scrimmage usually wins the game. Not rocket science but an apt description of the Hawks right now

Hell yeah! The old saying, 'the game is won in the trenches'.

Millen said the pick was a double negative for both Geno AND Metcalfe, not an either or. Geno needed to lead him more horizontally and DK could have made a better play on the ball. I've always said WRs were overrated in the grand scheme of things anyway, not worth the cap space they take, so i would be in favor of a trade but only if you got significant draft capital in return - by that i mean a minimum of two Round 2 picks. With his fumbles and immaturity it's easy to forget DK has more value than just his individual production - he and Walker are the only two players who put a scare in the defense, causing scheme adjustments to open things up for others. You'll never get that from Bobo.

We should let the Hawks know about this revelation. lol
