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.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
