That his huge advantage, lol, like an oxymoron...
Nah, man. Leaf was bad. Comparing any starting quarterback to him is an insult. Jones may be getting overhyped by some, but he's no Ryan Leaf. I think he's more comparable to Carson Wentz, capable of some good things at times but considered by some to be better than he is despite the evidence.
He's got a compact build. It's not like he's some skinny-legged little man. He's built pretty solidly, has that low center of gravity and balance working for him. He's not going to rock a 300-pound man, but I think he's going to take a hit better than some might think. Mostly, though, I agree that his skill needs to be avoiding hits, just because he's not going to be like Zeke and just truck defenders.
They would just get quiet, like the anti-Romo crowd did when he played at an MVP level in 2014. Then, they would just wait for the next opportunity to say they were right about him.
Smaller dudes with great center of gravity have made a living, different position ofcourse but similar when thinking about Stepnoski and how he achieved greatness with his understanding of leverage.
I can be extreme at times.
Yes. Hopefully that was not a pass Dak would throw in the regular season. He tried to get that through multiple defenders.
Im 52, same deal with me.
I believe it's been 5+.
Joseph was by far the worst dB in 1 on 1s and you always got nashon in your mouth smh. Nashons lone rep was very good whereas everybody saw Joseph as BBQ chicken. It's no comparison. He's a special teams player only. He's worse than I thought he was
Creed Humphrey sitting there. And this team reaches for Joseph. Because they didn’t get a CB in round one and snagging the best player in the draft in Parsons. If they would’ve utilized FA properly and brought in a CB that reach would have never happened.
I could be wrong (I'm not going to go back and watch the whole thing again) but I believe Nashon was out there for more than one rep. He did have one good one. His problem remains the same: He has trouble keeping up with players in and out of their breaks and often isn't physical enough to slow them down out of it. (If they want to try to take him deep, he can run with them and use his length.) The Training Camp Live crew mentioned Harris saying something to Nashon after he lost a rep about needing to be more physical on the route, I believe. Either that or Stanback commented on it. To me, this is one of the main differences between him and Bland. Bland uses his long arms to constantly engage in handfighting with the receiver. If you win the handfighting, the receiver has trouble breaking cleanly away from you. If you don't, then he has the advantage, especially against taller corners of being able to plant and cut to create separation. Nashon can't hang with sharp breaks, and at this point, I don't see anything that tells me anything is going to be different than what we saw from him last preseason.
