Malapropismic Depository Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Well there's a group of people calling for us to unload our veterans and rebuild from scratch with all youth. At least they should be really happy with our WR's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly the most physically imposing group but we’ll be a speedy crew with good route-running. Speeeeeeeed. Who needs physicality in today’s NFL.

Est.1974 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'll happily take this young group of receivers. Hopefully we also add a stud in the 2020 draft. Less than 12 months ago we were signing Perriman and Floyd off the street. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 A few more things to know about Sims 2.0. He's a triple threat, having both a long throw and a long run, in addition to his pass-catches. He models himself after DeSean Jackson. "We're built the same. We got the same body size and same body-type" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I don’t think a quick passing game is the worst thing ever. Especially if we let the rookie throw the ball at some point. I feel like this is a more future looking move to be honest. We will see. I’m not upset about it. I hope they can run block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 So our WRs will be 1 mediocre vet who can't stay healthy and a bunch of low round/UDFA guys who have never caught a ball in an NFL game (with one mid rounder thrown in and one exception in Quinn, who has caught 9 balls). This should be...interesting. We could end up with a surprisingly decent group...or the absolute worst in the NFL. We definitely have the most inexperienced squad. I know that everyone is hyped about our young guys and their potential but remember that pretty much none of these guys have gone up against starting DBs in a game, let alone top tier starters. I'm predicting that these young guys will be shut down by opposing teams pretty easily due to their inexperience and lack of elite skills. That's going to cause problems because teams can then stack the box on every down to stop the run game. Add to that Gruden's conservative play calling and inability to adjust and think our offense could be really really bad this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I like the WR group we kept. I agree with every decision they made for once, although I'd like to eventually be able to replace Richardson with a better player too. Doctson was a dead end player and didn't deserve to take up a roster spot or reps over Harmon. He was a major disappointment. Harmon is going to be better than him by the end of the season. Quick is a jag. Kidsy is a jag. Cam Sims is a jag. Davis and Sims Jr deserved to make it over those three. They are much better special teams players. Harmon should be our fourth WR this season IMO, and get a lot of snaps in the slot. Then maybe he transitions to a role on the outside as he gets better. We've got something real in him. McLaurin and Quinn are pretty good too, but I don't think either of them have a chance to be special. I think Harmon does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they cut Doctson, I really thought they were going to keep him and cut Harmon and I was sharpening my pitchfork in preparation for the move. It's a pleasant surprise. Dare I say I'm actually optimistic about this receiver group? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy Yoda Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Only 1 of our 6 receivers has ever logged a catch in the regular season. This is going to be interesting group to say the least.

It also proves that the final preseason game is definitely not meaningless, but it can make a player, not just break him. At the same time Cam was decreasing his stock, Steven was increasing it.

I did hear Jay show his hand about 2 weeks ago, talking about Quinn out, and named Sims and then Kidsy as his backups.... in that order. Up until then consensus seemed to be Kidsy. Maybe random, or more like SS was climbing the ladder and what happened game 4 was the final straw. Congrafs to Harmon I thought Sims was ahead of him and was a PS cut candidate 3 weeks ago Edited September 1, 2019 by RandyHolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if it was a smart decision. It seems really knee-jerk, which is a terrible way to make decisions. Of course this "battle" is between two UDFA receivers to see who gets the final spot on probably the worst WR group in the league. Which is kind of like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Either would likely be replaced once better options come around. Even if that means a year from now at the 2020 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last preseason game definitely didn't help Sims but I doubt it was the only thing that led to his demise. I'd read multiple reports from camp about Sims saying that, while he made some impressive catches at times and was obviously a really big body, his route running was more or less consistently sloppy and he didn't seem to be getting much better at it. So he didn't get a lot of separation and relied purely on his size and physical abilities to make catches. There were also reported dropsies on easy passes, which he showcased in front of us all on Thursday as well. I was never all that into him as I think he's a JAG at best in the league. Probably won't be in the NFL much longer most likely. Size and the occasional circus catch will only get you so far in the league. 53 minutes ago, RandyHolt said: Run run short pass punt / bend dont break. We may not top 200 yards passing in a game until Haskins starts. It's painful but I think we're going to be seeing quite a bit of that. Though I disagree with your second sentence. We may not top 200 yards a game period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
