  1. I certainly never said that... And how much college ball do you watch? If you watch a lot and you honestly think they are comparable players I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn... Devonte is as smooth as they come... A bevy of release moves to defeat press with immaculate hands Worthy struggles catching the football... Which is a major component of a wide receiver... Struggles to get off college press and cannot win contested catches He has a lot to even become an average starter in the NFL
  2. It feels true to me too and that's why I said it lol
  3. You literally cannot compare the slim reaper with worthy LOL One was a dominant sec player who put up record-breaking numbers winning the Heisman .. is as smooth as they come The other is a glorified track star with suspect hands.. who is 163 lb soaking wet
  4. Definitely... It's no fun having a bunch of homers call to say how great the organization is for hours lol After all these years.. and all the crazy callers... That is the only thing I can think of That when they want some drama... They're screening for those calls
  5. They screen to take the worst callers lol It's no fun having a bunch of homers call
  6. Football is the ultimate team game You can absolutely win with Kirk cousins.. he's much better than Brock purdy Him taking ridiculous contracts hurts the team around him because they can't build around him as well.. he's a good quarterback who gets overpaid But he can certainly win in the NFL.. Nick foles has a super bowl
  7. You do realize Worthy is not Tyreek Hill... He's a lot closer to our own kolby listenbee lmao better but my point stands The dude is a track athlete not a natural football player... You can get away with that in college... Everybody in the NFL is big strong and fast He's 163 lb soaking wet and our own whipping boy Elam will have no problem clamping him You heard it here first Elam will be able to take him out of games easily because he's a one-trick pony and Elam plays that trick well
  8. I just want to say that everybody who's crying about trading to the Kansas City Chiefs This is not like when we traded with them and they took Patrick mahomes We have a big value at wide receiver... And the fact we let two teams come up and take them.. show we did not value those guys enough to pull the trigger Now our front office is not perfect... But it has done a good enough job turning this franchise around to where I trust them And Worthy is not Tyreek Hill.. he's 163 lb soaking wet and Elam who is the site's whipping boy.. will have no problem taking him out of a game I'm not worried about him
  9. We've moved up 50 extra spots day 3 to go from 32 to 33 Not exactly nothing when your GM hits on day 3 picks
  10. It happened last month
  11. Penix is a 6th year college quarterback Who has major shoulder surgery... And a reconstructed ACL Great college player and I really do hope the best for him as I do all players.... But man... I didn't have him in my top 45 or so players
  12. The fact he hasn't developed into an NBA player... Boeheim would've had him top 15
  13. Yea... It's not the worst... But it's not as crisp as you'd like from a top five pick He also didn't play his senior year of high school.. so he's super young, with a lot of traits, but unpolished I talk about seeing Caleb in high school and seeing a number one pick... Drake Maye always was very interesting to me He's got the look.. and he does have a very good arm and is a good athlete.. he just needs to catch up to the game And work on that release
  14. Oh he's definitely got the potential to be really good He's actually super young and I would sit him as long as I could this year.. that would bode well for them long term And could help maximize his potential and raise his floor
  15. he has a lot more faults than Caleb Williams .. who people here think is overrated And he doesn't play like he's 6'4 230 lb... He has a lot of talent But he has a lot more flaws to correct on game tape than some admit... Including not the smoothest release
  16. I think Sneed was confident playing off man because diggs wasn't running with the speed he was 2 years ago Whether that back injury did hamper him.. and he was playing through it Or he physically is losing it, or a combination of both Sneed is able to sit away from Diggs comfortably because he's not afraid he will run away from him... So he can basically sit on a hook/slant or if diggs tries to run by he isn't worried about turning his hips and running
  17. Yes but for some reason it made it look like it was from this past season
  18. Don't get me wrong I agree I want a big physical guy... Who has the skill set to dominate press man If you give me two equal football players.. 100% the same skill set... And one is 5'11 195 And one is 6'3 223 ... Give me the big dude all day everyday and twice in Sundays I want a guy who will come down with a tough catch That one was but for some reason it was marked 2023 season but it was from the 2022 season So the numbers I used were from two seasons ago I cannot find 2023 numbers... And unless I watch every snap to see how many times he was pressed and how he beat it... I can't give a real assessment other than he's always been good at beating press So I doubt he just became horrible even if he regressed
  19. Well I just looked back at the article I used was for the 2022 season dated this year for some reason So you are correct in that part.. I cannot find an entire 2023 data set But diggs was also elite versus press for the majority of his career here... He also went on the injury report for a back injury last season and never look the same The point stands that beating pressman is a skill set.. you can be 5'11 with the skill set and abuse it or 6 ft 3 with the skill set and abuse it But if you're just 6 ft 3 220 lb with nothing else.. you're just James Hardie and you're not beating the press
  20. PFF says 87 of his 107 catches were off of press man 90 grade .. 4th overall
  21. There are a lot of advanced statistical sites PFF did wide receiver success rate off of pressman coverage... Quarterback rating to... Average depth of release... Average depth of route And diggs was top 7 2024... Actually finished 4th Had over 80 of his hundred catches on press man... With a 90 grade Now obviously grades are flexible... But you either beat man coverage or you can't separate... And by the advanced numbers he was still abusing it He struggled actually catching the ball sometimes
  22. Diggs was statistically in the top seven for all NFL wide receivers beating press last year Had over an 85% success rate He certainly did not get abused All season by press man And yes my point was it is a skill set... Bigger guys with the skill set have an easier time of getting off the line of scrimmage but if they don't have that skill set it doesn't matter While a small guy like Tyler lockett with the skill set abuses press man Of course everybody wants AJ Brown on the outside And I'm using Gabe Davis as an example because he just got 15 million dollars a year... And he is a starting wide receiver in the NFL currently There are a lot more Gabe Davis type guys then Terrell Owens.... So your average big receiver is like Gabe Davis not AJ Brown... And he is not a top 15 guy beating press I never once said Gabe Davis was anything spectacular... He's your typical big receiver... And Tyler lockett is much better being press than him Tyler lockett is also good but nobody ever says he's a top 10 guy
  23. It is always the athlete you're going up against... I played college corner and have been across from every type of wide receiver... Obviously you're big strong fast athletic guy... Julio Jones, Eric moulds , Calvin Johnson , AJ Green are mismatches for anybody That is the pure prototype built in a lab But you're non freak big guy.. like Gabe Davis.. those types didn't give me much problem... Especially if you played with good technique It was the diggs or Lee Evans types... AB types... Average sized.. but so quick and athletic while running the entire route tree... That you have to be safe and cannot really Gamble Those are nightmares... I can't imagine shadowing prime Antonio Brown for 60 minutes... But on the flip nobody wants to do that to Randy Moss... Who there is no answer for
  24. I played college corner and yeah I generally would rather go up against a Gabe Davis type than a Antonio Brown Obviously a big fast twitched athlete like Terrell Owens would give anybody hell... But it was always easy to get your hands on your typical big wr... Compared to Justin Jefferson... Who is average sized yet slick Obviously you're Julio Jones and AJ Brown's are super rare types... And the toughest
  25. Actually some of the hardest guys to ever press were Marvin Harrison and Antonio Brown... Odell Beckham was very hard to press Yet it's actually not hard to get your hands on Gabe Davis at the line of scrimmage Every wide receiver has lost a press battle before... But diggs throughout his career... Had a bevy of release moves which made it really hard to get your hands on him at the line of scrimmage... Diggs is certainly not a big wide receiver.. average for NFL standards There are a lot of release moves with a first backward step which actually won't let the defensive back get their hands on you and if they reach they will overextend and you can blow by them Don't get me wrong big guys like terell Owens can get off the press... But there are a lot of modern receivers at 6 ft tall or 6'1 who destroy press Like Justin Jefferson also And I wouldn't consider those big receivers... If you're pushing 220 lb or close to basically 6'3 I consider you big Davante Adams is not super tall.. 6'1 but he is pushing 220 so I would consider him big and he's obviously a freak off press Cedee lamb is 6'2 but only 185... He's got good size but he isn't huge... And he destroys press also Lockett destroys press and he isnt big... Beating press man is more of a skill then something that comes down to purely height or weight... Is Cole Beasley too small to beat an outside press from Jalen Ramsey? Yes Did diggs rip up Ramsey basically every single time he has tried pressing him? Yes and he's also just average NFL wr size The top 10 of NFL wide receivers beating press last season is basically mixed between some big guys and some not big guys which shows it's more of a skill set AJ Brown , Metcalf , Adams all guys I'd put squarely in big wide receivers Then diggs , lockett , fuller and Jefferson... None 6'2 or over and none are huge Those are 7 out of the top 10 on beating press last season ... Also kupp and Hopkins... Hopkins is pushing 220 but only 6'1.. so I'm inclined to add him to the big guys although he's really not huge There are some big physical freaks.. and some precise technical wide receivers But Tyler lockett is 5'11 and he abuses press man
