Pickens is Elite

[Kwyn]

This is a week old, but pretty sweet. Doesn’t include th me Eagles or Chiefs game

George Pickens has destroyed man coverage this season. He leads the NFL with 22 receptions and 371 receiving yards against man coverage this season. He paces the league with 3.2 yards per route and 12.0 yards per target against man. His 143.3 passer rating against man defenders is 20 points higher than the next closest player (Tee Higgins: 120.5, minimum 100 routes). Pickens hasn’t just been a man coverage merchant though: Pickens is the only player with 500-plus receiving yards against zone coverage and 300-plus receiving yards against man coverage this season.

Yes he was good, but with the QB’s he had it did not show it.
Even with Wilson and Fields who was not horrible there.
And they did not use him as Dallas is.

Dak is by far the best QB he has had.

So it's Dak's Fault Pickens is playing so good.

Cowboys cant fck that up if they want a chance in 2026. You have two young star receivers that like each other and are in synch with your QB.

You likely wont find that in the Draft or Free Agency. Have to pay Pickens.

It was obvious today that KC focused on taking GP out of the game.

so Ceedee got a lot of good looks. They shift to Ceedee, and things opened up for GP

And if defenses focus on both, then things can open up for Ferg, Turpin, Flournoy, and Williams.

It can't be overstated how having GP opposite Ceedee helps the offense so much.

Yes and No. CD didn't get a lot of good looks. He basically had his way with arguably a top 3 CB in the league in man coverage. A lesser WR probably struggles in that matchup vs McDuffie. CD deserves the credit for dominating his matchup against a great player.

HIs physicality is insane. He and to a lesser degree Javonte (with his tough running) have transformed this offense.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Pickens reminds me of Randy Moss in some ways. The way he goes up for the ball and the we he glides across the field. He makes it look easy.

He really does. I get Julio Jones vibes as well.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Pickens is unreal. He is the exact kind of player Dak needs. He makes everything looks so easy. This picture is incredible

My new wallpaper for sure.

 

[DUO_CORE]

He been ever better if we give up on our so called home field advantage and shade them windows.

Install some remote control Venetian blinds and open them when the visitor has the ball lol.

 

[Redline360]

Pickens has always been WR1. Enldess amounts of talent. Its just a matter of keeping his immaturity in check.

This offense is loaded. Combination of Lamb, Pickens, Ferg, Dak easily make them elite top tier package. OL has improved greatly and J.Williams has shocked most fans.

Opposing NFL fans (Especially Philly Iggles fans !!) are pizzed that Steelers/Tomlin dared to ttrade Pickens to the Cowboys ..!!

Pickens now has a blue chip QB, an top scheme-design, elite personnel support cast ..and now he is flat ballin' and jsut too difficult to stop ..

He's flat BEAST ..!!

Pickens is Unstoppable right now

He is a monster and he has the dawg in him. Must sign him.

Pickens is Unstoppable right now

He is stoppable come on dude I love the guy but this is the 3rd close turnover that he's had because he's running for the ball physical You remember the one that Williams made sure they didn't lose it it was about four games ago I can't remember another fumble by Pickens last night if Turpin's not there you know everyone that was anti Turpin he got on that ball that could have been a big mistake he also had that one that hit him off the hands turned into an interception early in the season so let's calm down on act like the guy's perfect..

He's a great addition and I thought it was pretty cool that he had six catches for 88 yards anyone get the irony there?88??

Yeah that dude on the other side's also elite and balling I think he's only played in what eight games this year I know Lamb missed possibly four games with the injury what not wasn't right for a while but in eight games he has five 100 plus yard game so let's not give some flowers to the guy on the other side who's making this all happen without him pickens is just the same pickens in pittsburgh think about it.

I'm not hating but I'm really tired of hearing about how elite he is and everyone's on lambs junk a about having a couple games where he had some drops well I stopped pickens dropped the ball too that thing was called a fumble is a drop.....

So let's appreciate both of these guys at the same time but also appreciate this think about all the flowers you're giving this guy he's getting more expensive and harder to keep I just want to end it with that I don't want to get into big heated debate but he's pricing himself out of Dallas because he's going to want to be the guy somewhere I don't think he's going to want to play with Lamb next year I think he's going to want the targets the money the accolades and the money and the money and bigger money he's going to get bigger money to start somewhere else...

If you examine the track record of WRs under Mike Tomlin, one must wonder if this is more on the HC than on the player. If anybody watched Pickens in Pitt, he would do this type of thing daily; it was simply having to catch passes from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Kenny P?

 

[stuckindc]

With mason rudolph lol

Imagine what he would done with Ben?!

 

[stuckindc]

Jerry got so excited watching this game unfold in the second half that his toupe was spinning like a propellor on top of his head.

That’s hilarious!!

 

[stuckindc]

Yeah he’s not going anywhere unless a team offers an absolute haul for him.

George Pickens slants are our Tush Push.

I said in another thread, His slants ,especially to close out games are like Mariano Rivera coming in. You know what’s coming and you still can stop it!!

 

[stuckindc]

Lamb is ELITE Too!!!

Him rising up yesterday was great to see!! I’ve been on him about the drops ( like many others ) but he showed out and he created the true pick your poison. You can’t stop both. KC tried taking out Pickens and Lamb said no problem. Pretty much caught everything.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

This offense next year with a couple of minor fixes and more experience together will dominate the league. Sign him no matter what.

Yes, felt that way all year. I remember Tyreek Hill being asked who was his favorite WR to watch in NFL and he said CeeDee because he makes it look so smooth but *******, Pickens has taken it to another level. He makes it looks so freaking easy. Even the analysts were calling him SMOOTH on one of the stations I watched. It's that big frame of his. Just looks like a man among boys since he's doing same thing other receivers do just with much bigger frame.
