Patrick Watkins Lost His Job Last Night ...

[Chuck 54]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it during the game thread last night, but after checking the channel to make sure that I wasn't watching a Barney episode, during one of the overtly disturbing PDAs, the Tuna quite clearly told Keith Davis (after planting one on him), "You're my guy."

Now if you momentarily suspend your belief that the Tuna has had a sexual preference transplant (not that there's anything wrong with that), it appears as though in the wave of emotion, Big Bill was apologizing to Killer about the whole Watkins experiment, and that he'll never cheat on Keith again with a younger player.

All kidding aside, right, wrong, or indifferent, I don't think we'll be seeing much of Mr. Watkins any time soon. It's a shame, though, I was one of the guys pulling for this kid to blossom into an all-pro FS ...

... not that I want to start dating him or anything.

Just like Watkins initial praise, it was "you didn't hear his name, so he did well" routine...I never saw Davis make a play on a pass...I'm sure someone will eventually throw deep when he is in man to man coverage with a team's best WR too...then we'll see what's what.

I was surprised that WAtkins was inactive, but I expect that to change because he's supposed to be a special teams star....I'm guessing his starting role probably had him pulled off the ST's for starters, but he'll probably get back.

With all the kissing last night, I don't think suspending our belief is required!

i hope that killer doesnt get burned...cause thats what happened last year...he better not relax

Well considering the big plays we've been giving up all season stopped when Watkins was inactive and Keith Davis was starting...I think Watkins is the one getting burned.

I think he will start next year. It was just too early for Watkins and the game is moving too fast for him this year.

By many accounts, the game was too fast for him at FSU.. The knock on him coming out of there was that he reacted poorly to the ball when it was in the air and that his coverage skills were subpar--exactly what we've seen so far. I hope he turns into a decent player but I'm not holding my breath
