Two thoughts on this:
1) He looks like he thinks the ball is a booger
2) Wearing #10 is the kiss of death.
Kid's head must be messed up. In all seriousness he might not be our first option for the PS if we cut him. Might be some other WR were would rather have.
Wouldn’t be surprised. There are clearly guys playing better right now.
Seems like he had the yips throughout his college career, other than one decent game in the senior bowl.
Senior year 43 receptions 833 yards 3 tds. eye-popping stats.
Just think Amon-Ra St. Brown and Tylan Wallace were still available when we traded up to get Dez.. Both Amon and Tylan wouldn't been so nice with our offense.
Well, that depends on whose eyes are being popped too.
He better un-yip pretty quickly or he will be on the practice squad this season.
At this point, he's in his own head
Yeah a projected 7th rounder with the so called YIPS, better get it together.
If we draft a 4th rounder with 1st or 2nd round talent, you give them opportunity after opportunity but if you draft a 4th rounder with 7th round talent, you have to give them a short leash and cut your losses sooner rather than later..
Sucks, because there were 2 or 3 WR's in the draft that would've easily made this squad and made major contributions.
Yep, sad we took him in the 4th

In all fairness to Dez the ball did hit him right in the hands
That makes it tougher for sure.
Hopefully for him he grows a set and makes some plays tonight. I don't blame this on JRob that much since he saw him at the Sr. Bowl and couldn't have thought the kid would be this bad. It has to be mental. It happens. If the kid doesn't make it a big part is JRob bringing in guys like Kinsey, Rogers and he also drafted McMath.
J'Marr Chase dropped all 3 of his targets last night
Hopefully Dez works out
Hopefully Dez works out
Amon-Ra is currently 5th at best on the Lions depth chart behind guys like Kalif Raymond. He only caught 2 of 5 targets in last weeks game and has zero TDs on the preseason (unlike Dez).
Tylan Wallace meanwhile is 6th at best on the Ravens depth chart and has caught 2 of 6 targets in the preseason. Also has zero TDs.
Dez showing some life here at the end of preseason. Probably spells doom for Mason.
Mason isn't going anywhere, he is one of our top 4 WRs. He might be a better option in the slot than Reynolds.
Yeah, but he outperformed guys last year and was sent packing, so we will see. I expect Westbrook-Ikhine and Woodside to land jobs over Barkley and Mason. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in a few days. I expect a little frustration on the boards then.
Last year we had Humphries and Raymond (slot) and Mason was an undrafted rookie who came from a Div II school. Thus last year is meaningless. Westbrook-Ikhine is more of an outside WR competing with Fitzpatrick, McMath and Johnson.
Like I said, Mason might be out best slot WR and the coaching staff knows it. He might be better than Reynolds and Reynolds is only here one year anyway. They aren't letting him get away. Westbrook-Ikhine is OK but he is not good enough to bend over backwards to keep. Mason is potentially a high quality slot WR.
Again, if you have two guys close you keep the guy with the potential. Like the kid with 4.4 speed with great hands who runs great routes. Also jumps 37 inches.

You think woodside sticks over Barkley? Seems like he’s playing much better than Woodside.
