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.

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.

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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
