Shenault

As I was breathing a sigh of relief, that we had actually won a game that our offense didn’t show up to! I asked myself, where was Shenault the first 3 quarters? This staff is still full of question marks. It’s like he had a good kick return and they realized, hey, maybe we could try this guy at receiver since we’ve sucked all day!

He’s a gadget player and they called play for him which prob caught the saints off guard. I doubt he a gonna be a world beater on a weekly basis.  

It was actually a good call by the staff for once.  No need to reverse engineer this to discredit them.  They make enough mistakes on their own.

He probably didn’t have many plays that they repped with him. I believe I saw he was in for about 5 plays. Impact on two of them. One of them was specifically drWn up for him, and his TD play he was the check down receiver. 
 

it isn’t like madden, where you sub him in and he is on every play. He joined the team a month ago.

Thank you, seem like people don't understand that.

That’s basically what Rhule said in the PC, even on the TD, he wasn’t Baker’s first read per Rhule.

Actually according to Rhule's Presser, we had a play designed for him earlier in the game and they took him away, and then the play he scored on wasn't even designed for him, or at least he wasn't the primary...  they took away the primary so Baker checked it down to Laviska, and he did all the heavy lifting from there.

But as I said in the game thread, the plays he made today came off simple routes and duties that he could've done week 1 with little to no familiarity with our "system" (KRs, flat and drag routes).  So I just don't know why he wasn't playing earlier.  He is dynamic.

    • Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
    • I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.
    • Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
