Curtis Samuel, "The Brooklyn Blur"

Recommended Posts

The combine time doesn't match in game-speed but this is sweet:

Curtis Samuel had the 4th fastest 40 time in the last 6 years

1-John Ross 2-Dri Archer 3-JJ Nelson

4.31

The thing is, he's more refined than a Harvin at WR, he's a different type of mold.  

Also--Yeah yeah, combine warrior argument and all, I just think this isn't really being given any light and is an awesome stat.

The crazy thing is how young him and McCaffrey are, both turning 21 shortly before the start of the 2017 season. 

Yeah dude could be a great weapon for us , he'll have to work on becoming a more polished reciever catching and route running wise be he's got Ginn level speed and better hands at this point. Alot of his incompletions seem to not be from him literally dropping good balls, but from JT Barrett airmailing poo all the time , which we will have to hope Cam does not do the same thing to him lol 

He played enough at RB to where he like Gettleman says has pretty damn good YAC ability and runs the ball better than alot of WR after the catch which is exactly what we needed on this team. With him and McCaffrey on the field we could confuse the living poo out of defenses, they can both play WR and RB.

I don't understand how a player can still catch with his body after 3 years of college ball and practice.

Seems common sense that the player and coach would have them rectify that after a year or at most two years of concentrated practice to improve weak areas.

Hopefully he can still be effective body catching or develop his hands here at Carolina.

Yea I'm with ya, but this is VERY common of college players.  I've seen a lot of players go from strict body catchers in college to being able to use their hands to pluck footballs in the NFL. Funchess was one.  100% body catcher in college but even though he hasn't turned into much of a WR yet, at least you can't say he's a body catcher now. He's definitely learned to catch with his hands away from his body. His problem isn't his hands, it's his route running and separation.

    • That's likely going to tell the story. He'll have two weeks to prepare, so no excuses.
    • You don't rotate offensive linemen dude shown me one time thats happened for us that wasnt because of a player leaving due to injury or a jumbo package ill wait.
    • I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield. This is just before Bryce is going to throw it.   You have 2 players off screen downfield, one player who ran a route that never had a chance to get open and didn't even get to the 1st down line, another player just at the line to gain but late in the route because of a chip (and the worst pass catcher of the 4). Do you really think that was a "good play call" in that situation?
