Where does DJ Moore's first NFL reception rank among the all time greats?

Great breakaway speed, terrible tackling effort

DJ Moore ain't no average dude.  He is 89's spirit animal for a reason.  He didn't go down in college like no punk either.   That terrible tacking effort brings down a lot of our WRs. 

I am no fan of Jennings the commentator but he was spot on about a critique of Fun Fun.  Not to jump topics.  But a lot of our players make catches with the intent of going down when they catch it.

Yeah, we’ve always had a YAC problem around here with 89 being the exception, Smitty would drag dudes for YAC.

As many comps as he's garnered to Smitty, this play just reinforced it.  His first ever NFL reception goes for a huge gain and TD after breaking a tackle.  Well, do you remember what happened on Smitty's first touch in the NFL?  A KR for a TD.  Sure, DJ had a couple of touches before, but for that to be his first reception and he does that?  It puts him in that same class of player to take the first touch of any kind and score.

Also, the way he accelerated past the defenders in traffic after turning up field and everyone else looked like they were running half-speed...  that was a trademark of Smitty.  Haven't seen it in a player here before him or since him on our team, until DJ.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
