Locker catches DeMeco off-guard and asks about Bullock and Lassiter (Drafted 42nd and 78th in 2024) immediately trusted and able to make impact last season & what has prevented Higgins and Noel (Drafted 34th and 79th in 2025) from being able to and/or trusted to do same this season.

1. great question answered with coach speak

2. God we suck 🤣

3. That didn’t catch DeMeco off guard at all…

4. Bullock and Lassiter are both defensive players. The defense is the strongest part of the team.

   Higgins and Noel are offensive players. Our offense fucking sucks despite the fact that they’re both good.

   You can probably see why they’re not being used to their fullest potential.

5. Comparing the production of rookies on the offensive to defensive side of the ball is absolutely pointless.

   On offense there is 1 ball and no matter how well you do the little things if you’re a skill position player all that you’ll be judged on is what happens when you get that ball.

   Defense is a completely different beast. You see a lot more first year breakout defenders (especially in the secondary) because teams will generally target / pick on rookies. Which then gives the defensive rookies an opportunity to make a name for themselves.

   The way this question is framed makes it seem like our rookie receivers aren’t even getting snaps, which is simply not true.

6. Exhibit A of why we need to fire him

7. favoritism

8. “You cant compare 4 different players” YES YOU FUCKIN CAN. The differences between them is literally what he is fucking asking about. Demeco is incapable of saying anything that doesnt come out of a “coaching for dummies” book.

9. If those 2 wr were on the niners or chiefs or rams or anywhere with a competent offense, they’d be stars

10. That was actually a phenomenal question and he did everything he could not to answer it. This the shit that pisses me off about Demeco, like dawg yall said Higgins was a first rounder talent, treat him as such.

11. I think people over estimate the rookie impact these two can have with a team that has struggles with the offensive line.

    Also Lassiter beat the veterans they brought in cleanly in camp and preseason for his starting role. Now they were bums we all can admit that but he still won the role they had not intended for him. Higgins and Noel while having moments have not shown that clear position dominance where their talents outweigh the issues (usually in route recognition and blocking) their inexperience brings to having them on the field.
