This is a really good video that I don't think has been shared showing some of Thomas' routes. |

I don't think anyone is going to want to risk getting burned deep. It's like with Tyreek-not very many teams would line up tight on him. Safer to play back with safety help and just try to contain him. Not very many teams play him like we did with Sneed. It's also an Andy Reid staple to get guys free releases with motion. No, if the pick is Worthy, because Reid sees Desean Jackson, he'll get plenty of room to run. |

This is just one Tank Dell game:

Everyone plays man every snap! Aggressive press man coverage all the time! I mean I've had this exact conversation in that "our WRs suck" thread where everyone was saying that anyone that can't beat man 100% of the time isn't worthwhile. That's just not how the NFL works. Defensive backfields flat out do not have the depth to do that. As good a shape as these guys are in, they CAN'T run man every down without being absolutely shredded by the 3rd quarter. You remember when teams were trying that against us when Mahomes was younger and we had them wearing friggen oxygen masks in the 2nd half? Soft coverage is actually what these guys see more often than not. It's to prevent big plays (same people that say we have to have man beaters will also argue that the Cover 2 Shell is a panacea) and to simply keep their defensive backs alive. If a guy does nothing but find holes in zones over and over again, he can be a 1,000 yard receiver. Ideally do you find guys that can do both? Sure - the 'gotta have it' plays still require that you have that guy on occasion. But it's the NFL draft - ideal is rarely a thing. |

It would be interesting to know who the guy is that prompted Veech into saying we wanted to keep our 1st round pick this year at draft time last year. He had to know we would be picking around 30, so it surely wasn't someone he knew was going top 5. |

Btw Tank Dell is not the same player as Worthy. 4.49 Tank Dell isn’t blowing by people with ease on a go route |

It was a stupid ****ing take, and now you're doubling down? ![]() Worthy will not be seeing press coverage every snap dude. He will see plenty of off coverage just like that. I can't believe you're this ****ing clueless. |

The implication was clearly that he's not going to see such soft coverage ever again because they will get in his face and bully him at the line, because he's so small.
Again, just watch Tank Dell's highlights. Even just that one game I posted showed plenty of soft coverages just like that. Last edited by staylor26; 04-19-2024 at 02:45 PM.. |

I’m leaning toward tackle in round one and zeroing in on round two wide outs now.
