Oh shoutouts to Zylstra btw

[Rags]

Guy who we all thought only made the roster because of his ST play made several key catches today 

Hopefully he keeps it up.

[Cam's New Arm]

Yep. First TD had me like wtf but after about the 3rd catch, I was with it

[PanthersGOATFan336]

You mean Ricky proehl lite?

[mc52beast]

Reminds me of Bersin… I mean like they’re both white.

He should be returning punts tbh. Erickson looks runs like there's 500 pounds of bricks on his shoulders. Although he did save a fumble that bounced off our guys foot, so I'll give him that.

He is neither fast nor quick 

[4Corners]

Expect him to be heavily recruited by Belicheck this off season

I was worried that he may get cut after a couple of drops in the last preseason game.  He's a solid STs guy, works well out of the slot and usually has reliable hands.  I'm glad the coaching staff kept him around.

[Harbingers]

Saints left him open. He made them pay. And good on Darnold for making those reads.

More so than Erickson.

Despite that I'm honestly fine with Erickson. I'm not holding my breath every time he's receiving a punt and his awareness on chasing down the football after it touched the foot of his teammate was pretty clutch.

This Erickson guy is horrible.  He hesitates while looking for a running lane on punt returns and by that time coverage is all over him. I'm not sure what the staff sees in that dude at all.

Maybe I read that wrong…I meant Ericson is not fast or quick. He secures the ball for sure which is much better than than not and the heads up play with the live-ball recovery was crucial. There’s just no threat of him gaining more than 10 yards on returns.

Zylstra is much better than Bersin, but I'm not sure if I would consider him Proehl-lite either.  I guess he's in the middle somewhere.

[Khyber53]

Zylstra came out and caught a pass just about each time he was on the field. There are plays, I'd guess, that are drawn up just for him. Opposing teams see him as 5th or 6th on the depth chart thinking he's just a scrub and worthy of single coverage by a LB or maybe a safety. Truth is that there's a murderer's row sitting in front of him and he's good, sneaky good.

Good on him! Enough games like that and we'll sadly be waving 'bye to him this offseason while he goes and gets the big check somewhere.
