Curtis Samuel is not killing drives

The next time somebody tries to tell you that Curtis Samuel is part of the problem, do a little post history browsing. If you see them propping up Kyle Allen and/or whining about Shaq/Reid/Bradberry, just put that user on ignore. They're not interested in facts.

anyone that judges a player based on the knucklehead posters around here deserves what they get.  Maybe I am missing something, but are you posting that people should not judge a player based on what x poster here says about them? Like, OMG, like...who does that? Becky...look at her butt

This team used Cam's ability as a "running" QB ( it means...hes black and big and strong) as a way to neglect the OL.  People have been banned for being this honest. 

Case in point.

CS's problem is our perception of him.  We want to see him as the next Steve Smith / Muhsin Muhammed.  He's not.  CS is Ted Ginn.  Full stop.

Targeted air yards 15.1 vs 15.5 . . . catch percentage 51 vs 54 . . . cushion 6 vs 7 . . . the list goes on.  Curtis Samuel is Ted Ginn.

Curtis Samuel is one of the softest WRs on the field on game day. That is his biggest problem.

I don't care all that much for Kyle Allen, and like the things that Shaq, Bradberry, and Reid (national hero) do most of the time, and I'd still say what I said in the original sentence to Curtis' face.

He shies away from contact 99% of the time, body catches and gets alligator arms when balls are catchable, and his biggest asset is his speed, which does very little for him in this offense.

He needs to toughen up, take some hits, and not look to hug the sideline any time he gets the ball near him.

Yeah I’m not sure what his deal is this year. Because in the past he definitely did not shy away from contact and wasn’t afraid to put his body out there to make a catch (hence the broken foot).

I can't agree with that there being he was a RB in College.  That characteristic just can't stick with someone who's use to getting tackled by 300lb linemen.  I think if Cam were healthy this year, we'd have seen Curtis get a better chance.

It’s noticeable this year. Prior years no.

Curtis Samuel is the WR2 on a team that lost its starting QB, has no offensive line and has been playing basically a rookie backup QB.

It's easy for some basement dwelling hot-taker to call him trash... they don't have to look at or even understand the situation. 

I give @Forty-Eight as an example.

 

Just wait until we draft a Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Henry Ruggs, or Tee Higgins in the 1st or 2nd. Samuel will then be the 4th WR behind Wright. Y’all can love him or suck him all y’all really want. The fact is Samuel won’t be getting a second contract from this team.

In reality that tells you all you need to know about how bad the Oline is. We need new trenches on both sides. I think Samuels problem is more understanding the game than catching the ball. He runs way to many sloppy routes and doesn't understand where to be too much. Moore on the other hand has done really well with that.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
