"On pace for 84 catches, 1,309 yards, and nine touchdowns through a couple match-ups (obviously quite a small sample size), Moore is lining up inside and out and running a plethora of different concepts—doing so at a high level. Route charts show he's doing a bit of everything, using clean releases to win on the perimeter and his underrated physicality and hand strength to win on in-breaking reps. Tasked with facing extremely tight man coverage early this year—he’s facing a condensed 2.2 yards of initial cushion per route run (via NFL Next Gen stats), which happens to be the lowest in the league—Moore has done an exceptional job beating press and grabbing hard catches in tight windows, a skill of his that has been somewhat underappreciated with his elite athleticism and YAC ability over the years.

As is usual with Moore, he’s also making the spectacular look normal, as he caught a ridiculous toe-tap pass on the sideline in Week 1 that had the lowest probability (9%) of any completion so far this year (again, via NFL Next Gen stats)."

 

 

It's good to see DJ getting some recognition!

I haven't had a chance to do it yet, but a little later this evening I hope to look at all the 3rd down conversions so far.  I'm willing to bet it's DJ who has had the lion's share.  He has become the new "Mr. Reliable" (along with CMC, of course) and has been clutch on a number of tough and crucial 3rd downs.

I think the team (or at least the stadium crowd) would have deflated like a popped balloon yesterday had DJ not snagged that Red Zone TD.  We had to get the monkey off our back of all the missed goal line plays.  Sam being able to get the ball to DJ there was a huge lift for the team and the fans!

Very interested to see this as my eyes/gut tells me that Terrace Marshall Jr is getting a bulk of his usage on 3rd downs.

Watch it be CMC tho

My count after a quick look through the game logs:

12 total 3rd down conversions:

vs Jets
McCaffrey: 1
Marshall: 1
Moore: 2

vs Saints
McCaffrey: 4
Marshall: 1
Moore: 3 (1 for a TD)

Thanks!  I did the same tracking using game logs, but also checked total attempts by player and yardage details.  See below...

So, on the topic of 3rd down conversions, both CMC & DJ have been reliable so far, each with 5 3rd down conversions.  But DJ is leading the team in terms of 3rd down conversion % (Conversions per total attempts where he is the target on 3rd down.)

CMC has converted 5 of 8 attempts.

DJ has converted 5 of 6 attempts, and his only miss was when he got 9 yards on a 3rd & 11.  REALLY impressive!

Dan Arnold is 0/3

Sam Darnold is 0/4  (3 sacks, 1 fumble)

Chuba Hubbard is 0/2

Terrace Marshall Jr. is 2/6

I'll have a separate thread on full 3rd & 4th down stats and each attempt later tonight.

Here are the deets for DJ & CMC:

I just got done arguing with a Falcon fan.  He was like I bet the Panthers are regretting picking D.J.Moore over Ridley.  I was like.. um nope.. I think Moore is better.  We brought up both the stats.. and they were very close.  Moore has 2 1K recieving years more total yards , Ridley had a breakout season last year and has scored more TD.   Then I was like while even though Matt Ryan sucks he has been at the top percentage of QB's over the years.  DJ has had the ghost of Cam Newton's shoulder, Heinike, PJ Walker, Teddy 2 gloves ...etc. 

We asked another person and he was like I would take Ridley because he was waaayyy better.  We did the stats thing again, and he was like.. " um I didn't realize it was that close".   I think as we play better the DJ Moore respect will grow.

I would be curious to know the percentage of 3rd downs they end in per drive if that is even tracked. 

The simplest way to fix 3rd down woes is to not get in a 3rd down situations that often. But that's easier said than done.

Looks like 29 third down attempts on 24 total drives. League average is 21.6 drives and just over 25.1 3rd down attempts through 2 games. So i guess we end up in 3rd down situations slightly more often than the average team.

Interesting. Our 3rd down troubles are noticeable to the untrained eye and it looks like there is some merit there, not much but it's something.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.
