Victor Cruz tape

If we pick up Cruz and maybe a speed guy like Stills I think our WR group would be terrific. 


Stills alone is a helluva pickup.

But that is a lot of bodies.

I would love to go:

Wr1 Stills
Wr2 KB
Wr3 Ace/brown/funchess

Dunno if we need another guy who can't separate.

That's why he's not going to be anything BUT a slot receiver.

He has plenty of worth for a team like us with his reliability and skillset as a solid route runner. From the slot, he doesn't have to be an all-world beater; rather, he just has to be a solid guy who can be a reliable option for Cam on 3rd down.

It's a signing that would make a lot of sense. Not to mention Cruz' optimism concerning us. I think he'd immediately help in the sense we have some reliability and stability for Cam.

As much as i like stills, he wants an 8 figure contract. Already not a Gman player. 

If we want to replace our fast player (Ginn) with hands of stone with another fast player with hands of stone, might as well bring in Cordarelle Patterson who will be much cheaper. Patterson and Cruz contracts together would probably be significantly less than what Stills wants.

He still has really good hands, problem is he lost a lot speed, can't break tackles and struggling to separate from man to man

Great find on the videos!  Unfortunately there is nothing in those videos showing him operating from the slot and very little to go by for that since the knee injury because Shepard was the slot guy.  Really a tough judge for fans from the couch. I'll be indifferent whether he gets signed or not.

He's a younger version of Cotchery. The problem I have is that if we get complacent with just signing Cruz and not sign another receiver. Cruz alone isn't gonna fix our WR problem, we need a burner like Jackson or Wright.

Kendall Wright is not a burner, but he can be effective in the slot. That being said, Cruz should really be able to be as effective from the slot.

Here's the scenario:

Benjiman/Funch/Cruz

Olsen/Cam/Stew

 

Your best DBs are going with Benji/Funch

Your best safety/LB is going with Olsen

Now, do you bail into coverage and follow Cruz?  Or do you stay home watching Cam/Stew?

 

With any sort of rational play design we should be able to shred Defenses with this.  Biggest problem wouldn't be whether Cruz has lost a step but rather our OC sending him on go routes and smoke screens.

    • Immediately cast blame? We had been talking about the bad throws to Hunter (the missed TDs and hospital ball) for days leading up to that injury report.   And yeah, the rib injury then becomes something to point out.  and you are getting desperate with this projected extremism.  No one  said you should never throw seams.  I shared with you an article after you scoffed at seams being routes you can get hung out to dry on….and it was the best of the best talking about the dangers of those routes.   And they talked about it because they threw them a lot and there dudes were at risk so the throws really matter.  Because you can hurt your receivers.  we disagree, cool.  I got a pro Bryce former NFL QB calling it a hospital ball and bad throw.  So I got a plus +1 making my argument.  Find a QB that backs your take. 
    • You exclusively highlighted Hunter's name on the injury report and then immediately cast blame. I've pointed out that this wasn't the hospital ball you claim it to be while also acknowledging that there could have been another option to target instead of Renfrow. By everything you've expressed here, you don't think seam routes should ever be thrown. I don't know how that helps the already struggling offense, but I do know that it would make it even worse than it already is. Scapegoating never has and never will solve anything. Tell you what: Try not blaming Bryce or casting shade his way for the entire week after Arizona and instead look at the other 21 starters and assess what they're doing (again, without shading Bryce). I'll join you and refrain from exploring what the rest of the team is doing and will focus solely on what Bryce needs to do better. Deal? This is a sincere peace offering to allow us to explore the other's perspective and perhaps be even more informed football fans.
    • TMac PI throw was a TD too.  Bryce just drastically under threw it.  Renfrow and TMac set themselves up to BOTH have great days.   the story of last of no one was open…..isn’t a defense the Bryce Young defenders can use so far this year
