Am I crazy to think he is going to be our leading WR this year. Only person I see possibly getting more is Olsen.

 

I wasnt the big Samuel fan. Felt he has a Lot to learn with running the route tree. Have seen several scouts mention in articles he has weak hands more of a body catcher and needs to improve.

 

But I am starting to really like this kid more and more post draft.

He has something that we havnt had since smitty. Chip on his shoulder and plays with a little attitude. Every interview I have heard of his I have become Blown away. The KBs and Funch's are just to passive. Ginn never had that "fire" nor did Philly. Hopefully his fire rub off onto the rest of the WRs as well.

His edge combined with his speed and playmaking athletic ability, really see this kid making a Big splash this season

I want to be excited about him but he has a lot of work to do.

Hopefully he can just focus on being a WR here and not worry about running the ball. He can work on his routes and especially his hands. I've seen clips with him either having a ball bounce off his hands or mis-timing a jump.

He definitely flashed a lot of potential though. We desperately need him to be every bit of the 2nd rounder we used on him. The number 2 spot is up for the taking for anyone who shows just something.

Depends on Cam. If he spreads the ball around this year, Samuel has got a chance to catch a lot of deep balls. If Cam just focuses in on Beji like he often did last year, we could be in trouble.

Imagine:

Byrd CJ2 Samuel at WR just to stretch the field

Olsen to stay in the O line to help in blocking and CMC in the backfield shotgun to help as well. 

I call this the dump or burn play.

If the O line breaks down dump it to either CMC or Olsen. If O line holds up, the 4.3 and under crew will do some serious damage as we burn them.

Dang it brb

Unless he's a lot further along in his development than I think, he's simply too raw and limited in his routes to come anywhere close to leading us in any receiving category other than possibly yards per reception.

Fug it. Go route is all that is needed.

Fast n Furious play

Is this real life? Two total JAGs (one who couldn't make one of the worst WR rosters in the league last year), a raw rookie, and we're going to keep our two best players in to help protect?

Go home Shula, you're drunk,

Jesus... you know what I call that? A sack waiting to happen. This is the type of old school Shula nonsense that I hope to see us evolve away from, not do more of.

If it was that easy, NFL WR corps would consist entirely of former 100m sprinters.

Do it ;)

Make defenses play deep and dump underneath.

Ginn aka rubber hands could not catch but he made defenses respect his speed

Went over his route running a while back. More refined than most give him credit for. Sure, he'll need to learn more intricate routes, but the basis of route running is there.

In fact, I'd argue "route running" at the college level is overrated. So many different factors and uses for every receiver, and most have to change and learn new things entering the pros.

@LinvilleGorge As another guy once said about Samuel and route running.

Route running at the college level is overrated. NFL teams will ask players to run different routes in different ways, on different plays. The important part is that he [Samuel] has the ability to ruin DBs with double moves, and understands all the route concepts.

    • The Question
      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
