I'm sure he heard all about in the film sessions. And that brain fart could be because he hasn’t played a real game since December, and practice can’t truly simulate game situations. Ergo, getting reps in preseason helps knock the rust off so brain farts happen less during the regular season, especially early in the season.

MartinC Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 2 hours ago, OVCChairman said: The d lineman stunted... looked like scherff and chase passed it off to each other and peeled off. Hard to know who was at "fault" I'm sure they got on him pretty good tho ? Yeah it was a twist and impossible looking from the outside to know exactly who was at fault without knowing the blocking call but I’m pretty sure it was Schreff who had the guy who made the sack off the twist. He had him momentarily and them for some reason let him go and looked to help the RT. Now that might have been what he was supposed to do and the C should have slid off to pick up that guy but I’m pretty sure Schreff just blew the assignment.

MisterPinstripe Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 It was a unique situation. Litterly all within a split second of each other, Smith decides to run up the middle, Scherff decides to let the guy go as the center has him, and the center decides to let the guy go because Scherff has him. Pretty amazing timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 @HTTRDynasty... fair point. I looked at that replay and it appeared to be more blown coverage than it was a flat foot race... but hill likely is the closest comp there is currently to djax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyone in the league can be djax 2.0 Tyreek Hill and look out for John Ross of the Bengals. Ross has had some good highlights this preseason. Oddly enough, Djax wasn't just a one-trick pony as many seem to peg him. I don't think Hill is as skilled a WR as DJax and we haven't seen enough of Ross to judge.

He had untouchable ball tracking ability.... to your point, people look at his speed as his biggest weapon, and it was a big weapon to have, but imho his best skill was his ability to play the ball. He also had tops vision which is what made him so good in ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmuss1 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Any chance they take a look at Mychael Kendricks??? Or is his legal issues going to give him jail time? Just a thought...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just one of the best in recent memory at that trick. Anything between 5 and 15 yards he wasnt fooling with. He's never been a particularly versatile receiver. DJax had "it" though, which is not just the foot speed to get past people, but the ability to set them up, get that step or angle and then leave them behind, and track it in the air. Bringing it back to the Skins, I've not seen a ton of Richardson to be able to judge how he plays. He could be the next Anthony Armstrong, or a better version of Aldrick Robinson for all we know. The more I think about it, the more his limited resume concerns me that we handed him a starting role. 7 minutes ago, Bigmuss1 said: Any chance they take a look at Mychael Kendricks???

skinny21 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 @justice98In 2013, Jackson was the best/most productive receiver in the NFL when running crossing routes. So maybe a two trick pony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe a two trick pony? Remember his catch against Carolina in 2016? He has made quite a few catches like that. It is rare to see a guy do well with badly thrown screens. DJax pretty good with WR screens despite having Mr. Worm Food as his QB for his first few ears in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe a two trick pony? The one trick wasnt the type of route he ran. Unless there's a breakdown of where he caught the ball on said crossing routes, that's not a very useful stat. A shallow cross and a deep cross are still a crossing route. I'd bet a high number of those balls fit my <5 and >15 disclaimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Most of Djax receptions in Philly were within 10 yards or less of the LoS. Get the ball in his hands asap and let him work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExoDus84 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 JP Findlay just tweeted suggesting RG3 won't play tonight. That would be a bummer...I was hoping to see our 3rd and 4th teamers set the preseason record for sacks in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
