Pickens Yardage

[Whirlwin]

He will always limit any WR he plays with.

I don’t know, so far this season he’s been throwing dimes. He looks like his rookie season out there and he’s in the best physical shape. I’ve seen him in quite some time.

Dak doesnt have the touch to throw jump balls where o n ly his WR can get it, and thats where Pickens can excel. ( ala Dez B )

Throwing jump balls is not a good strategy to consistently win football games.

Go throw jump balls at the park with your buddies.

Yeah that's what they said but that's not what I saw yesterday he allows balls to come down out of air and he just stands there and waits on him to come he's not attacking the football I hope that he gets to that point but do not call him Dez Bryant until I actually see him do that And don't blame the quarterback Throwing jump balls is usually a necessity it's not part of the playbook when you can't get open you don't get a lot of separation which by the way George Pickens doesn't get a lot of separation you have to throw balls into coverage and yes he's doing better each game he was definitely better yesterday but he is not Dez Bryant he allowed that ball in the end zone to come out of the air and almost get picked up and he just sit there and watched it He literally should have ran up and attacked that football and I bet he would have got a penalty on the other team that would be a man going and attacking the football is Dez Bryant it's not just a 5050 ball it's high pointing footballs is what better receivers do when they have a reputation for being aggressive and he's not aggressive with the Dallas Cowboys quite yet...

That's what I just told people That is sometimes a necessity in the game and a guy can't get open, I mean that is not part of the playbook but if you have a receiver or a tight end that can do that and catching traffic great that's not what I saw yesterday I saw too many balls that he just waited on for them to drop Dez Bryant high pointed footballs he made sure he attacked that football because he saw it before the DB saw it and that is when an aggressive fifty- fifty ball looks like not anything I have seen here in dallas with pickens...

Nearly was two interceptions because Pickens didn't even bother going up for the ball he just let it fall and once you let it down to that level it's anyones ball So no I'm not for throwing 5050 balls that is something you do out of necessity you're trying to make a play late and 1/2 or late in the game and you throw it up to your better players and you hope that they can get it And yes Des was great at that but anybody who's claiming that Prescott's fault that Pickens isn't getting more balls or just casuals that would be a good name I won't get banned for...

Pickens was robbed by the ref on that late PI call. Terrible. Pickens was awesome today. He was the solution.

Yeah, I didn't think that was a penalty either but you're not supposed to touch a player and look like you're leveraging to gain separation and it was nitpicky but, yeah, I didn't think in today's NFL that looks anywhere near a OPI....

 

[blueblood70]

His real impact:

5- 68
2 penalties- 52

120 yards today

You still feel Pickens and Dak are not there

Definitely had a better game I'm still not impressed with his alleged 50 50 ball skills he's not aggressive he lets balls come down he doesn't high point the ball and maybe the more he gets comfortable he'll start attacking the football he'll get more balls from Prescott if he does that but a couple of balls have nearly gotten picked off because he sat there and waited on him you just can't stand there with the DBS and let a ball drop to that level you need to go up and attack it dez Bryant would attack that football on every single throw I don't care if it was at high level or over his head or below his knees he made sure he was getting to that ball first and whether he caught it or hit the ground it wasn't going to turn into an interception..

Yes a much better game from him and hopefully it gets better each week...

Why dont you mind your business, I was trying to answer the post in question . I didnt come to you for advise , thank you.

There's a lot of haters looking pretty goofy right about now, yet they double down. Luckily I know when to back off at least temporarily.

@Aliencowboy , this is the 'impact' that Pickens provides, a legitimate long ball option. Just the threat of having a very capable X expanding the field, stops Defenses especially Safeties having the luxury of playing everything in front of them (and able to move post-snap that kills Dak).
Sometimes the work is being done away from the ball imo.

Also Turpin. Safeties have to respect his speed.
And now we've got a legitimate run game going.

Defenses have to defend the whole field and all the players on it.
And so far they're having a hard time doing it.

He's drawn i believe 4 DPIs, I think only 3 accepted, in 2 games. There's no mistaking his talent and impact as a WR.

DPI stats should be included for receiving stats.
Does any site do that?
