Harrison’s issue is a lack of the quicks. Nabers and BJT have it. He doesn’t.

A good coach understands that and schemes to his ability.  Plenty of wideouts without a fast first step have flourished in the league.   Scheme and effort have to be married together.

 

I like Nabers game but the immaturity and mouth sour me on him a bit.

Murray is one of those quarterbacks that we’ve all been gaslit into thinking they’re league stars 

He's got all the talent.  If you gave him Josh Allen's heart he pry would've died five years ago trying to hurdle a LB.

Seems like if an NFL team is looking to draft a WR, LSU is the team to scout.  WR factory in recent years. 

For the absolute star? Might be right. But the Buckeyes are right there.

How little respect do you have to have for an opponents defense to call an orbit motion 7 yards deep in your backfield and still pitch it to that side?

[Low Positive]

Meanwhile, the hottest ticket in the NFL is in Miami

Fully agree.   The difference between a guy who has been great at everything since little league, called the best high school football player in Texas history, drafted in two professional sports leagues and a guy who had to scratch and claw every step of the way to get to where he is.

 

Sometimes the struggle builds character.

With Murray, that's half of it. The other half is that he need to be at least 3 inches taller. Linemen are tall and he can't see over them.

Wonder where Jeremiah Smith will land.   I seem to remember Orlovsky saying that Smith would have gone number one overall in this past draft if he was eligible.   Not sure about that, but the guy has freakish talent.

Agree for the most part.  There are some exceptions.  With Murray specifically, when the team puts an addendum in your contract requiring you to study film and stating that video games don't count you may have a problem.  Especially when he signs the contract not even realizing the details would be released.

Its not ideal but he also played in college with giant offensive lineman.  His major issue is he hasn't grown the mental side of his game enough to overcome the height.  Hes the same guy he was in year 1 and 2.   If he could read a defense both pre and post snap the height would be less of a factor.

He'd look great playing with Marvin Jr

Top 5 pick. Easily. Can’t think who else is on the same trajectory as his for the 2027 draft. He’s stand-alone at the position for that class right now.

Arizonas offensive coordinator is horrendous.   No motion.  No moving players around.  Cant block so he spreads the offense out and hopes luck will change it.

 

May as well just run screens to Dortch all game.  Its the only play he has thay gains yards.

Trade for Marv!!!! He looks so sad

For Curtis Samuel 

[Best Williams Available]

I’m just noticing Darnold takes a knee in the huddle calling plays. So 80’s. 

[Draconator]

Talk about kicking it away from a returner

Same production.

I feel like defensive HCs are almost always more built than offensive HCs

How do you know it's a mock cheer? Because people cheered?

[SoCal Deek]

Murray has to have the smallest feet of anyone in the NFL. They’re freakishly tiny.
