The Lions chose to go after Tre White


YoloinOhio

Recommended Posts

I find that interesting. I was listening to some fantasy football shows this weekend and they were talking about how Golladay is now their #1 WR but hasn’t really been targeted much or been productive. Now, he’s lined up vs White who’s supposed to be one of the better CBs in the league (which I agree with) and they go right to Golloday multiple times with great success. He definitely “ate off the Tre” so to speak. I know White didn’t have a great game vs Robby Anderson either but just found it odd they would choose to finally chuck it up to Golladay when he was lined up vs Tre White 

 

edit: Golladay is on my fantasy team which was why I was kind of following his production and he had really done nothing since Tate left

I’ll take this all day. The high level we expect from White is that we are disappointed that he had a penalty and two completions.

 

A TD and a bomb aren’t good but if the D allows 13 and this is the big complaint, I’ll take it.

I should mention that Golloday made great plays .... not saying it was white’s fault really. Just wondering why they looked at that matchup and thought, yup this is the week we start using Golloday! 

 

Golloday did make amazing plays.

 

Not too worried but if it is trend to  something next couple weeks or something  but right now not worried about it.

Most teams know that Tre is usually singled up on receivers - he is 5' 11" and has been struggling locating the ball at the "high point"  going against a receiver who is 6' 4".... not a huge gamble and one worth taking for opposing teams.

 

 

That makes sense... is he better as a zone corner? Just throwing this out there...

No, he matched up on Hopkins and held him to what 27 yards? Yeah one was a TD and again it was a ridiculous catch.

Lets not forget Galloday is 6' 4" with a 36" vertical.

Tre White is 5' 11" with a 32" vert. most of Galloday's catches were high soft throws that allowed Galloday to make a play. Its not like it was a coverage issue or white not looking back at ball

Just having a bit of an off season... he will learn from it. Early success can sometimes make someone think they are better than they are, but I think Tre is driven to get better - he will be fine.

He did pretty well vs Hopkins but the Bills got great pressure  vs that OL. They haven’t gotten much pressure since. You can go after White a bit if you’ve got things protected enough for a perfectly placed throw.

He balled his butt off. I've never been happier with coverage catches. Couldn't stop the guy in the first half.

Tre has been in the right position both this week and last, for whatever reason he just hasn't been making plays on the ball.

Golladay is bigger and stronger. That's the advantage of having big, physical WRs.

Golloday is a top WR in the league, I'm not sure throwing to him is the same as targeting White.

 he’s a good player but I’m not sure he’s considered a top WR in the league. Whatever he is, they had not been throwing to him until today which is the whole reason for my question

Yes he is. Doesn't mean he can't play man. He can. But he definitely a better zone corner than man corner.

We should not be worrying about Tre though. Not at all. He has had 3 struggles this year - Keenan Allen, Robby Anderson and then Golloday today. Those guys are all serious players. One is a proven #1 and the other two are talented young receivers who can be #1s. 

 

Tre is a top 10 corner. I think you can argue where you rank him within that and I do think the talk of him as the best in the league was premature and said as much. But he is gonna be really good for a very long time.

true and also in his defense,  the WR have made really tough catches against him. Sometimes you just gotta tip your hat to the offense , a great pass n catch beat great coverage

Yeah its pretty crazy, when he gets beat its basically on perfect throws and great plays by the WR combined with lack of him just making a play on the ball because he is literally in their hip pocket in perfect position.

Golladay is already closing in on 1000 yards. He's been a beast all season.

This is what confuses me.  I remember watching McKelvin cover guys like glue, but he'd never turn around and look for the ball.  Tre White is covering guys like glue AND turning around, but he's still getting smoked.  I'm sure he'll figure it out and I'm glad he's on our team.

Must have been a slow drip. He did nothing in fantasy. 

 

You shouldn't be starting Lions in fantasy. He's a second year player out of the MAC becoming an NFL elite player before our eyes. This isn't the first or the last time he'll beat an elite CB. He'll be a top 10 guy next season if the lions can figure out what the hell they're doing.

Woods is a very very good player. He plays on a team with a disgusting amount of weapons and still gets his. This argument doesn't help your case

There’s 32 NFL teams and Golladay is #22 in yards. How bout that?

Bob Woods was the best WR on the Bills during his entire tenure in Buffalo.  He certainly is a top WR.

Best WR in Buffalo doesn’t make him AJ Green.

 

And I love Woods.
