Great breakdown of our 2 young receivers.


Recommended Posts

   I expect both to take the next step towards stardom this year. Both are having success off of mostly natural skills. As their route-running and chemistry with Cam develops, they can both be special. 

 DJ is everything he was thought to be. RB ability after the catch is borderline unique in the way he just bounces off tacklers. Solid hands and speed. Potential is still climbing. Which was why I, like many, wanted Moore over Ridley. Ridley hasn’t gotten any better since his FR year at Bama. He was that good then. Still is good but he’s more of a #2WR in the NFL. Moore was playing with awful QBs and you could see the room to get much better. 

 CS just needs to stay healthy. Separation and strength for his size just raises the bar on his ceiling. Never realized how strong he is. But any player this fast who still plays as physical as he does will succeed and flourish. 

  They both need 8-10 touches a game. You put the ball in DJ, CS, and CMCs hands 40 times a game and there are going to be a whole lot of “big” plays.

Thanks. Nice work on that video.

 

Gotta say, Gettleman did a good job in that draft.

Yeah, I was a little bummed when we took CMC because I wanted us to take Samuel in the second round.  The thinking was since we drafted a multi-faceted player in the first round that there'd be no way we would turn right around in the second and draft the same type of player.  Much to my delight, Gettleman double-dipped much like he did with Star and KK.  

So who did I want in the first? Either Fournette or OJ Howard, then Samuel in the second.  Fournette can't stay healthy, but Howard has been extremely solid  on a terrible Bucs squad.  At any rate I'm glad we got CMC AND Samuel.

Project was the word on Samuel since he mainly lined up in the backfield at OSU , but the speed and athleticism was never a question.  My thought was it would probably take until year three for Curtis to get a grip on the full route tree and how to set up the DBs in his routes.  Well, this is year three and I expect (as long as he stays fully healthy all season) to have a monster year.

    • Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.
    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
