Rookie Wide Receiver Update


Admiral Ackbar

Recommended Posts

Just an update on the rookie wideouts throughout the NFL. Beckham as you know, has came on real strong within the last few weeks, but so has Mike Evans. Our own Benji is still hanging in there but will need to come up big these last 3 weeks to make his case for the OROY. Even if he does not get the award and doesn't catch another ball this season you have to think that he was a great success in his first season and he definitely exceeded my expectations.

 

Here are the Stats:

 

 

RECEPTIONS

 

1. Jarvis Landry               63

2. Odell Beckham            59

2. Kelvin Benjamin       59

4. Sammy Watkins           58

5. Mike Evans                  57

6. Jordan Matthews         56

 

YARDS

 

1. Mike Evans                  935

2. Kelvin Benjamin       848

3. Odell Beckham            829

4. Sammy Watkins           822

5. Jordan Matthews         709

6. Jarvis Landry               573

Yeah the hype train for OBJ is insane whether he deserves it or not.

 

 

Honestly, KB will be a monster I pray, especially if we get someone else on the opposite side/ some protection for Cam. 

But many of his big plays seemed to happen in garbage time for us.  Lastly if he were to catch the EASY balls his stats would be so much greater.

I'd rather see him make the acrobatic catches though, because the easy ones should come with time. The others can't be taught.

He does, there's no debating it. He was the most complete WR in the Draft last year and should have been the first off the board.

Games played would have given a more accurate picture. Games started would have been even better.

    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
