Yes, it's against the 49ers but it's still really impressive. He never had the chance to play receiver until last year really. Then he flashes this....

This reminds me of the game against the 9ers in 2010, David Gettis did a similar route and broke some ankles. 

 

 

Edit:

 

Here's a video. The route and outcome is uncanny.

If only KB and Funch could learn to run routes like that

I know everyone loved Proehl and was like "oh, just wait 'till Proehl gets ahold of 'em and they are gonna flourish!!" but I never saw crazy improvements. Especially from our young guys. Benjamin and Funchess lack the speed to get separation so running crisp routes is so crucial.

Maybe it's more due to the route tree our offense runs..

Yep. That's one of the TDs I went over in here. But you provided a lot more better views than I was able to even get.

To me, he's like a Terrelle Pryor in all honesty. He's someone who has so much upside, and can really wreck it in the NFL. He's just not given enough chances.

I feel like we just got a steal for him. He's definitely someone I'm rooting for this year.

We're not really known for giving chances for guys to get on the field, tbh. How many receivers have we gone through who we thought could blow up if they were just given a chance?

He just joined and if he was here he'd have made threads talking about Underwood having potential and a steal and all that. The guy who was going to replace Ted Ginn and so on. Blind optimism will work out sometimes when you do it for every single signing ever.

It's also easier than actually analyzing each move and since we know only a few ever pan out....

Everyone knew Underwood had more than questionable hands. I don't remember anyone thinking he would work out all that well.

Underwood already had issues that made me feel like he's a longshot. Never felt he'd be anything when he came in.

I'm looking at multiple game tapes of Shepard, and he has all the tools and upside to succeed. Now, this doesn't mean he'll become an all-star day one, but he has potential to get that far with hard work.

His floor is just being a good Philly Brown replacement and a ST ace.

Get off my hyperbole.

But yea there isn't a lot to go off of even in college(though he played with doo dood QBs) to think he's gonna be a WR above Browns level.

His STs contributions are more than welcome and we need that from our back end WRs anyway. That's where he is going to shine.

Now i'll get on your hyperbole.

Shepard has beenin the league 1 year longer than Brown and has 1/3 of his stats. His ceiling is Brown. You've nothing to substantiate this claim.

      Ticket Prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down

      yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.

      @TheBigKatare you going to Arizona? I'm thinking about making a road trip again. Haven't venture out since we got spanked in Miami a couple years ago
