Am I alone in thinking elite speed is overrated? Elite speed in the NFL just means you have a little more separation, which matters a lot less when you've got elite hands. And T-Mac has elite hands. 

Between T-Mac and Coker, I've learned that the #1 thing I want in a WR is a guy who makes catching the ball look easy. Speed. Route-running. Agility. None of that matters if we can't count on you to bring it in when the ball comes your way.

Elite speed matters less than elite route running. Ask Jerry Rice.

But....elite speed always has to be accounted for.

Execution matters!

This is why Arn Andersn was such a great wrestler.  He wasnt the most athletic or best looking but he was a tactician.  He showed up to work everyday with a speedo in his lunchbox and a can do attitude.  He was a pros pro.

This is not a dis:  Greg Olsen's best plays were of the "catch ball, fall down go boom" variety

He was dependably great at it

Lol where has this been the last few weeks?

It would have been a 2 minute video the last couple of weeks.

True, but I'd argue separation isn't at as much of a premium when defenders can't be as physical.  If you can catch anything thrown at you, there's not a lot that can be done to stop it.  You can probably make an argument that it draws more PI flags to separate less, and is therefore valuable to be a jump ball WR.

Icky got beat quick a couple of times and then Zavala was just whiffing on guys running down hill.   Dalton would not have survived that game.  

You can't whif on A and B gap blitzes. That'll get your QB f'd up quick. At least make him go around you a little. Get beat on a spin or swim? Ok the dude was just better than you that play. But to not account for guys blitzing your gap when you're a friggin OG is inexcusable.

If all you can get out of the last couple weeks is 2 minutes of film then you probably aren't very valuable as a film reviewer.  There is more to be learned in bad film than good film.

Can't argue that. At all.

God damn we knew Zavala was bad but basically every single thing that went wrong with the offense was on him

I have not heard anything positive that Zavala has done. He is a liability on the O-line. The only qualification that he has to playing on an O-line is that he weighs over 300 lbs.

Main takeaways for me: we left some meat on the bone.
 

Zavala is extra ass, and on a couple of those plays there could’ve gone to the second option. Like that 4th-down rollout, if Bryce checks back to Jimmy, he’s wide open. Maybe that’s overthinking it, but it’s something they should think to add. 

And the Falcons’ defense? Straight hot ass. Their DC kept putting them in bad situations, and even when he didn’t, they were blowing assignments all over the field. They missed at least five coverages. One of those misses actually lead to the missed touchdown to XL.

I mean I get it from JT's perspective.  He's not trying to be putting out a bunch of negative content every week.  Its for YouTube views, not for the player's development.
