I haven't seen the kickoff return TD.

Why only 4 offensive snaps? Is this not the time to see how much he might be able to do on offense?

Going into the season with this guy as their swing tackle would be the worst mistake of the off-season, which is really saying something.

3 ST plays, 2 TDs. Fuck thats good.

The most impressive part is that it wasn't our number one ST unit blocking for him. There were some well-executed blocks.

For comparison, Deion Sanders once clocked at 21.5 MPH in 1994. Tyreek Hill: 21.91 MPH.

High pads and wide hands, improve on that and get the mental aspect of the game down and he'll be a 3-5X Pro Bowler.

We haven't had a guy with quickness and legit speed in forever. Shrimp was quick but had no long speed, and guys like Miles Austin were fast but only in a straight line. I've wanted us to try to get a guy like this for a long time, but we've seemed obsessed with size at WR forever.

Tavon Austin? About the best comp I can think of.

I never saw Austin do what Turp can do.

No I didn't either, not for us at least. But he was both quick and fast. And a great returner/gadget guy earlier in his career.

It’s harder for a short guy to match the straight line speed of a guy like Deion, but they make up for it by being more shifty because their stride allows them to make more direction changes in the same space while still maintaining speed.

This kid ‘has it’

Only questions are whether you are willing to sacrifice a dedicated ST slot for him (should be a yes) and whether his 5’7” frame can handle being tackled, because he will be tackled

Being 5'7" and elusive usually helps a guy handle being tackled because those guys are difficult to get a shot lined up on.

It's patently retarded to have tried to rely on him to be the swing tackle basically sight unseen.

Yeah he just doesn't look like he belongs at all. We need to sign someone ASAP in my opinion to make sure they are ready for the season. I'd rather see Waletzko out there than Ball but let's not force the young guy out there. Have a second option.

Nsekhe makes so much sense right now. I don't know why they're being obstinate about it.

 

[Foobio]

Here’s a thought...hold people accountable for their play and release those who can’t do the job.
