WR Russell Shepard Runs Sweet Route In Training Camp

I think Russell Shepard has a good chance of making it as our WR3.

Take a look at the following play from today's edition of training camp:

Going man to man against Worley, watch Shepard drop his weight at the top of the route, and stagger fluidly to the catch point and continue on. Textbook example of dropping your weight at the top of the route. Any CB going against what Shepard just did would have trouble keeping up.

Shepard's been someone I've been harping on since March. His performance at training camp just gives evidence of what I've been preaching on this past off-season.

He has a chance to get some decent time this year. No doubt I'm rooting for the kid.

I actually think he's looking to push to the WR2.  He would play on the outside, more than the slot (Samuel, CMC, Byrd), and has more experience and fundamentals than Funch at this point.  I'm not saying the job is his to lose, that's actually where Funch is right now, but Shep has a full head of steam heading Funch's way.

Samuel is having so many hamstring issues who knows if he'll even been playing much

It would be nice if SOMEBODY stepped in to the Cotchery role as that clutch guy who finds a way to move the chains in those tough games. It can't always be Olsen.

I know I will get roasted for this, but you just described Bersin to a tee.

Benjamin is a gamer much like Cam, I don't worry about Benji. When the lights come on so will he.

Could sign for cheap and would be just that but a better version.

He and Funchess have been the two best recievers. 

Benjamin is not having the camp he did in years past. No one is mentioning this yet, but they will . 

Yeah, I saw the tweets about KBs drops today, and his possibly slowing up on the end of a route -> leading to being overthrown and I went Hmmmm.  But he's looking good (slimmer), so I figured I'd give him a bit of slack and see how things go... afterall, today was 1st time in pads in awhile.  Bersin was off his game today too...

Clay & Garrett have moved up on my radar a bit....  Will be curious about Trevor (TJ) Graham as by all accounts his speed is amazing.  Ron seems serious about getting more speed on the field this season.

So, yes, I think Shepard is among our top 3 receivers.  Seems pretty consistent, which we need.

I just said this in the Samuel thread.. His hamstring issues would be easier to deal with if we signed a proven commodity like Boldin

He signed a dirt cheap contract last year and he said he prefers to play close to home (Florida). Charlotte is close enough. 

Make it happen Marty!

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
