I think it’s underselling XL a bit by saying he’s only a deep threat. He runs a killer stop route (helped by his deep threat ability) and he is absolutely lethal on crossing routes and slants. This MFer can run and once he catches the ball with some momentum he could be gone. I think I remember him hitting the season record in terms of in-game top speed last year? But yeah, he doesn’t have combine speed, actual game speed.

Fastest clocked time in game at like 22.3 mph on some Tyreek Hill game speed. This is a fact so game speed might really show his elite speed once we get him in good situations like on time passes where he can turn and take off.

I like these angles on the XL highlights better than the stuff I saw pre-draft, routes/stiffness not as rough as I remember thinking from the tv angles

 

first, i loved watching those clips without hearing those commentators. just the sound of the action and the crowd. 

second, i'm just excited watching all of those guys. Wallace and Barrett were really fun to watch. 

but for those angles, there were plays that i had watched several times of XL, Brooks, and Sanders that showed a completely different vantage point that made them look even more impressive. 

i think we've got some good ones in this draft.

So I was looking for any Wallace vs Legette in these clips. Nothing in Wallace’s highlights. I found him imn a Legette TD but he was on the backside it was away from him. 

Probably a good thing I can’t find them, and have to work through them making each other look good/bad.

Interesting article on stat predicting bust WR's....

Of course it paints their guy in a good light but our guys not too great.

That is extremely interesting.

I am big on data so I love stuff like this.

Why do we keep drafting these kinds of dudes?

Other tricky thing about one year of production is we don't know how he looks against any current NFL CB's. Closest I could find

At this point it's fair to ponder just how other WR prospects from the draft class would look here over time too.

When you've already canned an entire coaching staff and jettisoned multiple WR's in just a few short years and you still suck ass it's time to reassess everything from top to bottom.

True but the positives were never very positive.   A lot of us didnt like him as a prospect from the start.

I mean, the story is not over, and may not be completed until we field a QB that's not continually under-throwing balls and has better timing.

It doesn’t matter who is throwing Legette the ball. Legette can’t catch period. He isn’t quick enough to make anyone miss. He isn’t strong enough to truck anyone over. There truly isn’t a single thing to his “game” you could point to and think this may be useful if we just did this

And to make matters worse, he’s not smart

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
