2023-10-19
Avast, me hearties! Davante Adams, he be havin' a goodly 33 targets in weeks 3 and 4, but in his past two battles, the scurvy dog be only gettin' nine! Aye, his Raiders be victor'ous, but Adams be longin' for more action on the deck!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, Davante Adams has been having a rough time lately on the stat sheet, mateys. The Buccaneers receiver, who plundered the NFL in receiving touchdowns last year and in 2020, has only managed to haul in six receptions for a measly 74 yards on nine targets in the Las Vegas Raiders' last two battles. Aye, 'tis a strange tale indeed, for when Adams was at his best, the Raiders suffered defeat. They were vanquished by the Pittsburgh Steelers, 23-18, whilst Adams plundered the seas with 13 receptions for a staggering 172 yards and two touchdowns. But as his production has dipped, the team has found success.Despite the team's recent victories, Adams has voiced his discontent about his lack of targets. "Arr, I be a human being, and I have lofty expectations for myself in this offense," Adams exclaimed. "Some may be thinkin', 'We won the match, why be complainin'?' But there be a reason, me hearties. Y'all should know me by now, know what I be about. When ye be a player like me, me benchmark be not wins or losses — 'tis greatness. So when I be out there, I be expectin' to make a mark and have an influence on the game. That be me purpose for bein' here. I ain't here just to hang out. I be here to win and win in style!"
Adams, a decorated pirate with three consecutive All-Pro nods, be on pace to amass over 1,300 yards for the fifth time in his career. However, he be aware that the opposing crews have devised game plans to thwart his progress. Nevertheless, Adams be confident that he can still make his mark, just as he did last year and in fleeting moments this season.
The fearless Buccaneer believes that the recent victories may not be sustainable if he doesn't receive the workload he feels he deserves and the team requires. "It be not just about me, but I be one of the key pieces for our offense to thrive. If I be not gettin' that, then it be goin' against the plan," Adams warned. "We need a more consistent supply of targets if we be wantin' to be the fearsome offense we aim to be!"
Ahoy, Las Vegas be settin' sail for Chicago to face the Bears on Sunday, but they be battlin' with their backup quarterbacks due to injuries. It be a treacherous journey ahead, me mateys!
