Dez 4th in the NFL in YAC

[Smitty]

Yeah, I grovel to Carp. That is hilarious. Have you watched this board over the last 10 years at all?

Please, you'd make a suit out of his skin and wear it Buffalo Bill style if you could. You guys are so far up each other's asses in there its hilarious.

 

[Smitty]

Harris will never be close to Dez in YAC produced because he isn't given the same amount of opportunities and he just isn't as talented. But I do agree he is quicker and has more wiggle which makes him better on those plays in tight spaces when trying to make someone miss and gain extra yards.

NO CREDIBILITY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cotton]

I think Harris as better at screens and hitches than Bryant.

I already admitted.... to Deuce, who responded to me reasonably, btw..... that he was right, that my characterization of it was probably wrong, and that I didn't rightly mean total YAC because Bryant is very good at getting open in a route and then beating the defender to open field in space.

Maybe you missed that in your hurry to post clever emoticons.



That's not my theory, you must lack the reading comprehension to actually understand what I'm saying.



Yeah, I agree, and I amended my position to make up for that. I'm not trying to slam Bryant here, who I love.

I just don't think he's great on those short routes. You seem to be offended by that.

So, you admit you were wrong in your statement that Bryant is overrated at YAC. Good enough. /thread

 

[Cotton]

So, the answer to whether you have been paying attention to the board over the last decade is no.

 

[NoDak]

Yeah. I can totally see where Carp and Iamtdg are potential BFFs.

 

[Deuce]

I was told he's excelled 'many times' on screens for us. How many screens has he caught out of 23 receptions? And of those, how many construe 'many times'?

I don't know how many times it's been tried with him but it frustrates me that we don't. He was the only playmaker ECU had for a few seasons yet he produced every week on plays like that.

I said like 5 pages ago before you launched your little tirade that what I meant was Bryant is overrated at taking those short routes and turning them into yards, yes.

So, the answer to whether you have been paying attention to the board over the last decade is no.

I'm far from the only one who thinks you guys are gay for each other... or at least you are for him. Keep denying it if it makes you happy.

 

[Smitty]

I don't know how many times it's been tried with him but it frustrates me that we don't. He was the only playmaker ECU had for a few seasons yet he produced every week on plays like that.

I don't know how many times either, but again, it's enough that it sticks out that he's good at it.

Nodak is just being a dick, though.

 

[Deuce]

Hell, Beasley is quicker than Dez, but he isn't better with YAC.

Beasley is quick, but he's not a playmaker. He isn't going to make someone miss and then run down the sideline. He'll get caught from behind pretty quickly. That's why he's so good at the quick outs and slants to move the chains. Harris can get it and go.

 

[NoDak]

Not being a dick. You are the one that said you've seen him excel MANY TIMES on screens. I pointed out he only has 23 career receptions, so I'd like to know how many times qualifies as many. I'd like to know how many actual screens he's been used on in that reception total. And of those, how many did he EXCEL on? Those were your words. Don't be afraid to back them up.

 

[Cotton]

I don't know how many times it's been tried with him but it frustrates me that we don't. He was the only playmaker ECU had for a few seasons yet he produced every week on plays like that.

I agree. We should try more ways to get Harris into space.

 

[Cotton]

I said like 5 pages ago before you launched your little tirade that what I meant was Bryant is overrated at taking those short routes and turning them into yards, yes.

You mean like he did for like 30 yards this week?

I'm far from the only one who thinks you guys are gay for each other... or at least you are for him. Keep denying it if it makes you happy.

Name the others who think that. This should be interesting.

 

[Deuce]

An interesting stat to keep the debate alive...

though a small sample size of 17 catches last year, Harris' YAC per game average was 6.4

In 3 full seasons, Dez's YAC averages were 4.7, 5.0 and 5.1.

 

[Smitty]

Not being a dick.

You are being just as condescending as I ever am.

You are the one that said you've seen him excel MANY TIMES on screens. I pointed out he only has 23 career receptions, so I'd like to know how many times qualifies as many. I'd like to know how many actual screens he's been used on in that reception total.

And I've told you like three times now that I don't have a number, but that it's enough that I know he's good at them. Deuce also stated it another way.

You keep harping on this "how many" bullshit because you're more interested in being a dick than having a legit discussion.

And of those, how many did he EXCEL on? Those were your words. Don't be afraid to back them up.

Hah, great one.

 

[Smitty]

Name the others who think that.

No.

I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm just letting you know that others know it.

You can accept that or not. I suspect publicly you'll say "then it's no one" but yes, it is others.

Retarded.

[Smitty]

PS, that was you while thinking about Carp.

 

[NoDak]

You're the one who said it. MANY TIMES. So I ask, how many? Out of 23 catches, was he on 15 screens? 10? 5? Less? More? And of the ones he was on, how many of those did he excel on? You're words, Schmitty. Admit you were talking out your ass, or show me numbers. How many, and the yards gained on them.

I tend to agree that he'd be a great weapon on those routes. But I'm not claiming to have seen him excel many times at them. Now, I might say he shows that elusiveness on his returns, which would translate well to those types of routes.
