I've watched Garrett's highlights for last season and the game against Oklahoma. Am I crazy, or does he look like a better long term prospect than Funchess? Funchess is a great guy and made progress last year, but I don't know if he's a legit number two. 

I see good hands, good speed, burner catches, sideline catches, catches in traffic. Just don't know about the route running...need to look a little deeper. 

Am I crazy?

For using highlight videos, as a basis for determining whether or not a rookie WR, is a better prospect than someone who's already on the team?  Naaahhhh

Funchess looks more athletic to me. He also appears to have more dawg in him. But of course that doesn't mean that he will ultimately be the better receiver.  If Garrett wants to be better,  he is going to have to put in the time and effort with the coaches,  playbook,  and show it on the field. For now, he is a limited route runner just trying to prove that he belongs in the pros.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Icege · Posted

      At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
