DJ Moore: a few vertical concept/contested catch highlights

DJ has improved in terms of route running. He’s not there yet, but I see improvements from yr one. Where he shines on tape: competing for contested balls, particularly on nine routes. He’s also a tenacious player with the ball in his hands after the catch. He doesn’t have Steve Smith‘s personality, and he’s miles away from earning those credentials, but I do see some of 89’s traits when I study his game. 

Steve was more refined as an intermediate route runner, particularly after a few years. It’s just something you keep working on. 

Another trait I see in DJ that reminds me of 89: how he attacks after catching the smoke/quick screen. Sometimes, it’s more of a bubble, but he seeks contact, and can be a bowling ball in the open field.

This is tremendous production, given the lack of consistency at quarterback, changing regimes, coordinators, the lack of continuity on the OL, prohibiting time for vertical opportunities.

He’s just a humble guy who competes his ass off. Here’s a video of some of his more competitive moments.

What does a break out season look like when he's already been  1200 x2?   1300? 1400?  That would be top 5.

He had more yards than Mike Evans and Amari Cooper, in fewer games.  He had more yards than Brandin Cooks or Corey Davis.    He did that with TB and PJ throwing to him.

I think for the people who have a problem with DJ, his quiet humble nature combined with his on the field fierceness (especially with the ball in his hands after the catch) actually works against him. 
 

we have a giant void of vocal leadership on that side of the ball since Cams absence. I don’t think DJ is ever going to be that “this is my team” kind of guy which some people will probably never get over. 
 

I hope with some level of consistency at QB, especially in the vertical game, he can at least have the on the field TD production that will solidify his status, at least in the minds his detractors, his importance to the team.

Route running was one of my main concerns when he was drafted. His route tree seemed small and he was not as nuanced in it.

Seeing his improvement since then is eye-opening and pleasant, especially with the carousel this team has underwent at QB.

Good post and good stuff. Hoping to see Moore continue his progress for the better!

a breakout season for moore would be double digit touchdowns to go with his yards.

touchdowns

yards are great but TDs fill out the resume

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
