@ThighDoctor It prob was and yea most guys do it but you’ll have some guys that don’t do it as excessively. Some guys’ heels damn near tough the ground during the negative step and it’s so so bad
@ThighDoctor Too hard to see if he’s a negative step enthusiast on tape (hopefully he isn’t)
But just talking generally, think about when safeties need to transition from covering a deep zone then rallying downfield for a tackle or clicking and closing on throws from depth
@ThighDoctor he also plays a position where hes inherently more prone to achilles tears mechanically
if you’re sitting further away from the LOS then you’re reading forward so there’s more opportunities to do the forbidden negative step (accelerating forward while driving through your heel)
@jon_ots@NickSabatoGNN@BruceExclusive Which in theory makes sense bc the receiving core was lackluster so from a numbers standpoint it makes sense
But not vs the best duo ITL and
when your RT is playing injured
@jon_ots@NickSabatoGNN@BruceExclusive Running 5 man protections vs the best edge duo ITL with a RT who was practically playing with one arm for half a game (brown) is definitely a scheme issue
To put it into context: they sent 5 into a route 90% of their offensive snaps which is even higher than their season average
@Javieryariel8XD@4Evil_Resident2 Well Logan is a top 3 CBM. Not a single Deadpool film even sniffs the heights that movie reached. Using its ending as a joke just bc its deadpool is lazy as hell
@_LifeofLik 100% especially now with DJ taking a lot of that attention he should thrive
Give me Palmer lined up on the boundary opposite Dj and just let him beat his man bc he’s so good using deception in his stem
Why is this a surprise to some ppl? 😭
DJ and Shakir are locked in as your 1 and 2. Much to people’s disbelief, Palmer is a good player and the best intermediate route runner in the room.
Keon will likely take over the Shavers role as a blocker and occasional downfield threat
DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer "clearly" the top 4 in Bills receiver room, per @JoeBuscaglia.
Skyler Bell is a roster lock but his "game-day role will be determined through preseason games."
@carso0onnn Brady likes to give all his recievers work though and I can still see him being used as a deep threat even just starting out bc of his speed alone
@carso0onnn Fair
I liked him a lot pre draft and like his fit in this offence but his skillset has quite abit of overlap with the guys ahead of him but they simply do it better than him at this stage (Z-palmer, X-Dj, slot-Kincaid & Shakir)
Prob not gonna get a ton of reps till injuries
@PooreJonathon@Jasonlewis54 It’s literally not man
He needs to work on some things and that’s okay! Nobody is calling him a bad player, he’s still a generational talent bc of his ceiling alone (brought upon by his athleticism, hands & size) but like any other prospect he has stuff that he can improve on
@PooreJonathon@Jasonlewis54 I hope you know that it wasn’t remotely a hot take
Coleman is cleaner out of breaks, more efficient off the line, and has the more nuanced stem work
Both are good separators but JJ does it with his athleticism more than he does with tech
