Yep! After his 4 carries this season, I've seen all I need to see. 🤣

Another gang/drug dealer... as most "mass shooters" are.

Don't we (all men) do that?

He blocked his ass off last night against Judon.

Admin, merge to the Knox thread if you guys want... but I thought this feel this needs it's own post so people can see how Dawson is doing compared to the top 10 TE in the NFL this season. I don't get the hate Knox gets by some people on this board. The last seven (7) games, all passes regardless how good or bad they were: Knox: 26 targets - 21 catches - 2 touchdowns (80.1% completion rate) Kelce: 60 targets - 40 catches - 5 touchdowns (66.7%) Andrews: 48 targets - 30 catches - 2 touchdowns (62.5%) Hockernson: 47 targets - 34 catches - 1 touchdown (72.3%) Freiermuth: 41 targets - 29 catches - 0 touchdowns (70.7%) Njoku: 46 targets - 37 catches - 2 touchdowns (80.4%) Kittle: 42 targets - 30 catches - 4 touchdowns (71.4%) Higbee: 35 targets - 22 catches - 0 touchdowns (62.8%) Ertz: 44 targets - 26 catches - 3 touchdowns (59.0%) Hurst: 39 targets - 32 catches - 1 touchdown (82.0%) Everett: 39 targets - 28 catches - 1 touchdown (71.7) His catch % compared to his first 3 seasons

And watch the play. Josh was getting rushed, got destroyed and threw it as fast as he could being tackled... it was a high pass, more of a lob, while Knox was running in the flat. It wasn't a pass that hit him in the chest like you'd expect. You're attacking the dude for one pass while he's caught practically everything (including the game winner in Kansas City) this year.

I feel that Knox can be used in that way, motion at least once every series to get LB's confused. He has the speed to do that. No one will ever be like Kelce, dude is a freak. I'm trying to point out, Dawson does what he can do given the plays called and the throws by Josh. He catches nearly everything thrown to him, people only remember the occasional drop. He has caught it as well if not better than every TE in the league. He was tied for as the #1 scoring TE last season. He can also block. Not sure what people want him to do. He's running wide open and the ball goes to Davis or Diggs. That's not a Knox problem.

He's had 26 targets the past 7 games, 21 catches and 2 scores. 80.1% catches Kelce (looking at the best in the league) has had 60 targets, 40 catches and 5 scores - 66.7% catches Totally agree. I'm pointing out to those who attack the guy... he can only try to catch what is thrown his way. He's caught 80% of passes thrown at him the past 7 games with 3 scores. He's blocking his ass off as well.

Kelce is the elite standard in the NFL for TE's. Well, the elite at any level... probably ever. As the years have gone by, the Chiefs use so much motion with him, he's so difficult to defend. We should be doing the same thing with Knox. Dawson is a BEAST with the ball... he's like Josh when it comes to welcoming hits. But when he's open, gotta try to get him the ball. Those ripping him for drops? Lets look at targets v catches the last few games... Pats: 1 target, 0 catches Lions: 2 targets, 2 catches Browns: 7 targets, 7 catches Viks: 6 targets, 4 catches Jets; 4 targets, 3 catches Packers: 3 targets, 2 catches - 1 TD Chiefs: 3 targets, 3 catches - 1 TD Forget the situation or the coverage, throw, etc... he's had 26 targets his last 7 games with 21 catches and 2 scores.

He had one lob weird pass that was more of a toss, weird angle. The whole game. He was open most of the game and blocked his ass off. He on Judon most of the game and guess how many sacks the leading sackman in the NFL did last night?

Diggs TD, Dawson was WIDE open. If Josh threw it to Dawson, it would have been an easier touchdown throw and catch. Strip play, Knox and Motor alone. Slant to McKenzie. Knox was 4 yards behind the Judon and no one in sight. Josh dumps it off instead of hitting Knox for a long gain or TD. Josh threw it to Diggs on this play. Diggs made one hell of a catch for the first. Dawson was streaking across the field... no one around him. Another pass (side arm) to Isiah McKenzie (resulted in a first down). Look at who's all alone in the middle of the field.

Did you watch the game last night?

He had one drop. One target. The lone target was more of a flip to him... not a normal pass. Knox was open all night and Josh just didn't throw him the ball.

Yep! The Diggs TD... Knox did a crossing pattern and was ALONE in the middle of the endzone. I have Knox on my Fantasy League team and I really hyperfocus on his play. He was open half a dozen times... especially on check downs and Josh went to the RB's instead.

It's the gist of what you everything you've said. SEC only, Alabama is the team of the gods. Vandy is better than TCU.

YO. JumpStation!

First the high school QB (4 star) who committed to Florida having his offer pulled because he was "singing to a song with the N-word" and now this. Good pub for the Gators.

You're arguing with a brick wall. I continue to do the same. Alabama/SEC fan that thinks all the other conferences are worthless and need to drop down to FCS (D2) so the entire world can see how amazing teams like Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Missouri actually are. The best team in the Big XII or the ACC would finish 10th in the SEC because? They are the SEC and Bill says so. Forget the actual national experts and computers who think teams like TCU have a top 10 SOS (some have them #1) it's invaild because Bill thinks otherwise. Bill knows all Bill loves easy winners so he roots for Alabama Bill says the SEC is the only conference that matters

I'm not ripping on Rhule and I'm not saying Baylor wasn't a joke prior to Briles, I'm a Big XII guy so I've watched Baylor up close for nearly 30 years. Actually had a friend play and start at MLB for the Bears in the mid-90s (Tony Tubbs). I just disagree with the "elite" label.

Ed has always been a badass in Madden's. If you time it, he will bowl right over OLmen.

I'm not arguing how Alabama is, how good they historically are or how good they've been the past 15 years. I'm arguing that the SEC isn't the only conference. I'm arguing your opinion on the Big XII is way off. I'm arguing your claim about TCU's SOS is wrong. We talk about the Playoffs and conferences, then you bring it back around to Alabama. Alabama is a non-factor this year in this discussion.

That's because Alabama football is a blue blood program who gets 5-star kids 3 deep at every spot. A HOF coach. Again, you just don't get it. You are spoiled dude. Best example is look at the Pats and their fans. YOU are the Patriots of college football.

He was a good coach... not sure about "elite". He managed to take them from 1-11 to 11-3 in his 3 seasons. Baylor won 40 games the previous 4 years before they hired him (actually 39-13). He went 8-17 in his first two years before his one big year of 11-3. So not sure he was "elite". What Scott Frost did at UCF was more impressive IMO. Before they hired Frost, they went 0-12. Took them from 0-12 to 6-7 then a perfect 13-0 in just two years. That was way more impressive than what Rhule did.

Never know... TCU are a tough team. They just find ways to win. USC has an offense that can score on any play. Will be fun to see this year.

Same goes for UGA v TCU or Michigan v TCU... but until they play, we don't know. That's why we need the expansion IMO. People like Bill doesn't think anyone else matters but SEC teams (maybe a Big 10 team or two every so often). He completely rules out the Big XII or PAC12 has any shot v those conferences... even though I have shown, the Big XII has DOMINATED the other power 5 conferences the past few years. Bill and his BS gets so old. The world doesn't revolve around the SEC.
