This was during the full 11 on 11 drill with Derek Anderson in at QB.

Williams on a nice crossing route over the middle. Finds a nice soft spot in the zone between safeties Campbell and Nak. Anderson gets him the ball. Notice him catching with his hands, not his body. In the last frame Nak pretty late to the party. Probably a good thing for Nak it wasn't full contact, or I have a feeling he would have lost that battle.

 

If Brandon can find the open spot up the middle against zone defenses and make the grab.... well... I get a chubby.

Can someone talk me down from the irrational hate I have everytime I see nakumura?

 

Its not irrational, he flat out blew games for us last year.  The coolest thing he did was when he Judo Threw a Saints player on the ground after the dude was getting chippy after the whistle.

 

I'd love Nak to stick around as a ST guy, but his ball skills are just not suited for modern NFL offenses.

Oh man I wish Williams just lowered his shoulder and popped Nak.

Williams has been out of football for a while and it is going to be scary when he gets more and more comfortable every day. Really pulling for this kid to stick with this team and make an impact. If he blossomed into a legit weapon that would allow us to bypass drafting another TE and we could draft something like: Tackle, Reciever, Safety/Corner, Guard next draft which would greatly improve this offense.

      Ideas on how to find a pass rush

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By Icege · Posted

      His route running was not very good in this game, especially when compared to the previous week. There were at least three playactions ran where I couldn't tell if he was going to be pass blocking or running a route with how little effort he ran with. They also dinged him for the fumble on the play where XL lateraled to him. 29.8 fumble grade, 6.1 pass block grade, and 40.0 receiving grade really hurt his overall score. Personally, I'd have put him in the mid-to-high 70s on the day. I don't think his receiving grade should've been 40.0 but can see an argument for in the 50s. Maybe his pass blocking grade could've also been in the teens since he did win on the final rep handily.   Just re-watched the receiving TD for Rico and it was a hideous route. DaRon Bland left his zone to cover over top of TMac though which left the area wide open for Rico to get to. Very surprised that they gave Bland a 66.5 coverage grade as I recall him getting picked on a couple of times (and giving up the 4th down throw to Renfrow by giving an incredibly soft cushion).
