    WR Prospect talk

    in College Football

    DENZEL MIMS

     

    Seems to jump out at me as a late pick although appears to to be getting more attention.  Excellent catch radius.

    Interested in your thoughts.

     

     

    Name: Denzel Mims

    SCHOOL: Baylor

    CONFERENCE: Big 12

    POSITION: Wide Receiver

    CLASS: Junior

    JERSEY: No. 15

    RECRUITMENT RATING: 3-star

    HT: 6’3

    WT: 208 lbs

    D.O.B.: N/A

    PROS: Incredible catch radius. Perfect extension and concentration to passes all-around his frame and does an excellent job of tucking the football into his body immediately. Seamless body control that allows him to adjust, contort, and position his frame to make receptions regardless of ball placement. Length in his frame makes him a consistent winner even with average accuracy from the quarterback position.

    Has truly elite burst and long speed as a former decorated track and field athlete. One of the most explosive athletes in college football who also has strength throughout his frame. Does an excellent job a changing the pace of his vertical stems to get defensive backs on their heels before bursting by them. As a route runner, he’s able to get in and out of horizontal breaks efficiently. Despite slight technique issues, his elite feet and athleticism allow him to mostly be an effective route runner, especially for his size. Attacks leverage as a route runner well, and his vertical cuts can generate separation when he gets defensive backs to open their hips. Has gotten defensive backs off-balance with his shiftiness at the line of scrimmage as well as double moves, but can also separate using physicality.

    Winston pretty much sucks.  He is a swing and a whiff.  

     

    We all know Fitz isn't the long term solution either, so TB will be looking for a QB soon enough.

     

     

    Moved on from bagging Josh Allen at every opportunity?

     

    You've been very quiet for such a flog as yourself after last week's win.

     

    Here's hoping your expert bagging of the opposition qb's is a little more entertaining.

     

     

    Met the mother of a current Bill this week

    It was very cool.

     

    The wife and daughter and I were flying out of Denver last Sunday after a couple of awesome weeks off the grid in Grand Teton and Yellowstone NPs. Fantastic, though I had pretty much missed everything Bills-related. Saw half the first game at Lodo's in Denver, which turned out to be great Bills bar but that's all I'd seen, and I'd tried to avoid the rest so I could watch it on Game Pass back in Japan, but I didn't have any idea how the season had gone.

     

    Anyway, we're leaving the check-in counter and I see that a smiling lady, an employee of the airline we're on, has given my little three year-old daughter a set of pilot wings. I thought that was sweet, so I went over to say thank you, and I noticed she had a Bills piece of jewelry right on her uniform. I asked her if she was a fan and she said she was, and we talked for a minute or two. She mentions player names and I can see she's a real fan.

     

    So I was about to say goodbye and my Japanese wife, who absolutely loves to talk to strangers, asks her why she became a Bills fan. And she says, "Oh, my son's on the team." 

     

    I kind of did a double-take and asked who and she said, "Ryan Lewis." I pretty much blanked on the name. Stupidly, I had a kind of glimmer and said something moronic like, "He's ... wait, is he? Is he a linebacker or a defensive lineman?" Not my finest hour. She says, "No, he's a cornerback." Looking like a fool, I just said, "Oh, that's great, when did he ...?" And she kindly told me he's just joined the team. And then she says, "He's playing today. Are you listening to the game? Do you know what's happening?" It was just a bit after noon in Denver so it took me a minute to realize that the game must have started. 

     

    Then she says, "It's 24 - 0." 

     

    And she's smiling, so I'm like, "The Bills are up? Against the Vikings?" 

     

    She says she's checking her scores app every few seconds, hauls out her phone and says, "No, it's 27 - 0," with obvious glee.

     

    We both got happy after that and talked a while. We had to go through the long security line so we had to get moving, but we talked for about five minutes. She said Ryan loved Buffalo and that they had connections in the city and to the team.

     

    I asked her about what the connection was and she said that she was related to Robb Riddick. Brother-in-law, I think she said ...? I was psyched as I remembered him well and had a chance to make up for my idiocy. "He was a running back, right? He was a good player." She just smiled and said thanks.

     

    It was a really nice conversation. She was a very kind person and talked a while to my daughter as well.

     

    You guys probably already know the Robb Riddick thing but as I say, I've been off the grid, and I just thought that was a very cool thing. She said the family went a little nuts when the Bills called to bring Ryan in.

     

    I've never really met a Bills family member before, so it was a really nice thing for me. She couldn't have been nicer. I wished her and her son good luck and we shared a "Go Bills."

    I'm probably reaching a bit with such little footage but the body language of the players doesn't look great. 

    Doesn't seem to be any intensity/urgency amongst the receiver's. 

    Probably reading to much in to it maybe it's right before end of practice idk but I would expect a McD team to practice with high intensity from start to finish.

     

    *Sorry quoted 26CB thinking it would include the video he posted for us on first page ?

    How is everyone feeling about this after 3 games.?

    Im sitting on the fence ATM. 

    Chuffed about the result  against Vikings.

    Im keen  to see progression in the  "'Process" and development in the players but also wouldn't mind adding some elite talent.

    Is it worth just scrapping into the playoffs and just making up numbers?

     

    No right or wrong answer. Would appreciate your reasoning and thoughts also.

    Yeah I would worry now about the $5K

    Don't laugh too much, this is a terrible day in a fellow fans life.

     

    Dumb move yes.

     

    Human being, yes. His life just got a lot more complicated.

     

    I wish he had asked some people here before placing the bet. Never take a team 90% of pundits like, or a 15+ spread in the pros.

     

    BuffaloRush made a non betters mistake. Many of us have been there, and it can be devastating.

    This ^ 

    I hope for his family's sake the whole thing was just interdats attention seeking.

    And just like 80% of the other threads; people know nothing about the subject but that doesn't stop them from posting a reply.

    If your referring to me I'll always admit that most people on this forum are probably more knowledgeable than me on the Bills/NFL.

    Aussie rules football. Having played for 27 years and watched for longer I think I know what I'm looking at.

    Seriously?  Our number one problem is bad play calling?

     

    And "zero identity" is in the top 10?  What the hell does that even mean?  And how would that translate to winning on Sundays? 

     

    You know what the most important factor is?  It didn't crack your Top 10!  

     

    The quarterback.


    We don't have one.
