- Had Lamb had his starting QB in dak year long as Jefferson did with Cousins, Lamb probably would’ve had stats more impressive than JJ as a rookie.
Hes not a top -end burner, but he’s a smooth, fluid natural catcher with great body control, can make twisting catches on bad throws, has a good knack for pass game
and getting open, and he affects the entire field- both underneath and vertically.
Not sure yet about him being a reputed dangerous, dynamic open field runner as he was in college.
Drops were a problem, hopefully he’s much more focused, more adjusted and consistent in that area.
- Diggs rookie year was up and down – but he was a rookie who immediately took on the lead CB role vs opponents best WR.
He took typical rookie-burns and these coaches/schemes didn't help matters but he didn’t lose confidence and still made plays – INTs, upper cut fumble vs Metcalf.
although I do wonder about his overall long speed and ability vs the Metcalfs, Locketts, McClaughin, Jefferson, etc, that he’ll have to face in NFC.
But Better coaching/scheme/more experience should make him into an eventual top notch CB, imo
- Gallimore was rookie inconsistent and another that I’m not sure he’s under the right DL coach/scheme. Interior guys tend to take more time to develop
He has slash penetrate skills but seems like Tomsula wanted him more of a 1 tech read type.
Neville is country strong and very athletic, but he still has a way to go vs the run, splitting double teams and getting off blocks quicker vs pass.
I’d like to see far more wow games like he had Steelers/Niners
Also under the right DL coach., I’d like to see him and Hill in much more twists and stunts with their agility & explosiveness – but not under Tomsula
- Robinson should’ve received same Incomplete grade as Anae. Coaches did not give him a chance to play vs the street guys brought in
. Just like Anae, is there something about Robinson (learning process, work ethic or inability to adapt) that turn them off ? Caused a fumble strip for near recovery on special teams.
Because he was red shirted- I dunno what to make of him per rookie year.
- Anae won’t grow until we get a new DL coach, imo.. I keep thinking there’s something behind the scenes with Anae. Something that Tomsula doesn’t like him, and in turn flat red shirted him.
Strange for a guy that has displayed edge rush skills every time he’s put on pads (at Utah, Senior Bowl, Cowboys training camp) yet Tomsula flat shut him out.
- Biadazz- I really wanted Badazzz to continue to start after he return per odd hamstring injury, but OL coach Philibin was sold on keeping vet Looney at the center role to it’s end.
Tyler should be the starting center next year. Needs to get stronger but has ability to pull and get to 2nd level and in space better than Looney who will be 32 next year.
Unless another team give Looney an usually big 1 or 2 year deal, I see Looney returning as a utility backup.
Dinnuci is a raw vastly inexperience rookie project with impressive physical tools. That’s what he is a project.
We’ll just see how this Covid affects offseason, and all the camps and preseason games which he really needs in his growth and development.
