i actually wanted Cooks. but seeing how Benjamin is performing, i think we are blessed to have the man over Cooks and Lee. makes me curious... how are Mike Evans and Sammy Watkins doing? werent they the only ones taken ahead of Benjamin, aside from Cooks?

 

KB would have been a top 5 pick if he stayed, I have zero doubt.  GMan (with guidance from Proehl) had zero doubt, given how lightning fast our card was turned in-the shortest wait time in the draft.

as much trouble as he's had on the outside, I've only heard worse on the inside. I don't know what they expect him to do by putting him in the middle this year.

If he doesn't improve from now until the start of the season he might not even be active alot. We already have so many good dlineman

Nice find.

 

2 things jumped out.

 

Cams Ankle and KB's 1 hander.

 

That dude has some serious paws, hopefully he will improve on his drops from FSU.

 

Also, to those who are there, is KB's blowing up on him or a warning about our CB's?

 

Has he dropped one in practice?? :startle:

 

Stay positive man. :cool:

That is fuging sad.

I'm not going overboard yet because it is still so fuging early to tell but I was dissapointed initially when we drafted him.

Nothing popped out. He was good at everything but not great at one thing (minus his initial burst) I'm looking at him as a prospect. Put it this way he ain't no 2nd round like kawaan short was last year. Still tons of time and some players play in games better than practice.

Yes, I noticed that to.

KB's hands, just swallowed up, absorbed/deadened the ball, like a 6'5" dread-locked black hole!! :startle:

KB was tied for second biggest hands of all WR's at the combine. KB, Jarvis Landry and Willie Snead all measured in at 10 1/4. Only guy with bigger hands was Jordan Matthews and he measured in at 10 3/8.

I would have loved a Benjamin Matthews combo. Was he on the board when we took ealy? Haven't given up on him, just saying.

Norman's feet looking quick in that video.  I hope he can put it together.

 

Cason/White/Norman/Bene (in no particular order)..then Dockery, Byndom playing well.  Godfrey might not make the grade.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
