LVE covered Olawale running a go route down the sideline. I think Olawale would win against many mortal LBs but LVE is a freak of freak athletes.
Pollard had the play that was on the twitter video where he destroyed Jaylon.
I would like to see Pollard on that route against LVE.
Dak is hitting way more of the deep throws than he is missing based on all the ones that I've seen. In the NFL 50% on deep pass attempts would be terrific. The NFL average is around 37%.
I would like to have seen DJax get more than the 6 carries he had last season just for evaluation purposes. I think all 6 were in the "meaningless" game 16 where it wouldn't have mattered how many opportunities he received.
LVE is listed at 4.65 for the combine. Not that fast for a LB, though fast for a guy his size at LB. I wouldn't think he'd have any chance against Pollard.
Jaylon said he was 4.5? I think in 2017, while he was timed in the 20 yard shuttle better than the fasted time in 2018.
Somebody posted a thread on Dak's nextgenstats passing spread. He's actually ranked better on deep balls than most QBs, but when I look at his attempts, they look like lots of misses to me, particularly on the right side. Restricting consideration to balls right along the sideline 15+, he was something like 0 for 16.
The site is kind of goofed up in that it doesn't show all games, and I couldn't select all QBs to view their spread - so many QBs linked to Case Keenum's details.
Maybe my expectations are too much and other QBs aren't any better. But I expect QBs to hit WRs when they're throwing against air, or at least be close. The 5 yard miss on Pollard seems bad. He's not just overthrowing a guy, he's overthrowing a fast guy by a lot.
How fast would Pollard have to be to catch that pass?
It would probably help to get a better sense of how bad a miss an overthrow is. How fast would the WR have to run *after the ball has left Dak's hand* for the WR to catch it? How many yards did the WR run with the ball in the air?
