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.

    • frank, that ball was very catchable where it hit his hands. I don't even think he bent at waist until after he dropped it. He actually slows his pace to position himself to catch the ball. That will never be a pass I'd blame on the QB.   NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-54-54.mp4
    • https://overthecap.com/position/left-guard   Lewis is the 9th highest paid Left Guard in the league. I bet it was higher when the deal was done two years ago.    https://overthecap.com/position/right-guard Hunt #3 highest Right Guard   There is a tab in the upper left portion of the graphic that allows looking at the different positions.   
    • It was a great play, but a better catch than throw. The TE boxes out Moehrig for position. Jumps to catch the ball. Catches it and turns 180 degrees while he's still in the air. Comes down and toe taps to stay in bounds and lunges for the goal post. That first part where he boxes out Moehrig for the ball is huge. If he doesn't do that and simply fades back to catch the ball (this is why Bryce doesn't trust XL), then Moehrig likely undercuts the pass for a break up or INT. Stafford trusts his receivers to make plays for him. Here I slowed it down so you can see it. Great play but amazing catch and score by the TE.  NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-45-32.mp4 NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-44-37.mp4
