Re: Post draft breakdown
Yeah, I don't think Bates was a reach at all to the WFT staff.

Bates demonstrated he can block, and the team seems to believe he's a pretty good pass catching threat too. If he can do some of both successfully he'll have been worth the 4th rounder. Nothing sucks worse than having a TE on the field who tips your hand as to whether you're putting him out in a route. Too easy for the defense to figure out what you're doing pre snap. We'll see.

Re: Post draft breakdown
Losing Sprinkle and Baugh also bodes well for Sammis Reyes' chances of making the team.

Re: Post draft breakdown
After last years result with Logan Thomas I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt

Re: Post draft breakdown
Reyes was given a three year deal with gaurantees, he is going to make the team regardless
[Edit] having checked OTC, they aren't very big guarantees so maybe not quite a lock |

Re: Post draft breakdown
He definitely will be with us at least 2 years, whether it's on practice squad or roster because it will take Reyes more than 1 year to develop as TE considering the fact that he has no football experience. We moved very quickly to sign him and even threw in the guarantees, I think that is a sign that WFT believes in Reyes's potentials.

Re: Post draft breakdown
Wonder if Reyes would be safe on PS given how many teams were chasing his signature, look at some of the TE rooms around the league

Re: Post draft breakdown
Likely not, there was a lot of interest in him. Ron pounced first.

Re: Post draft breakdown
Probably just a ST/depth move, but I HATE our 5th round pick tackling technique: Mark Bullock Darrick Forrest breakdown

Re: Post draft breakdown
7th round pick Bradley-King seems to have a lot of potential, displays good effort, good depth move

Re: Post draft breakdown
One of the good surprise with Dyami Brown is his run blocking abilities !

i.e. Where he's out of position on that TD run, he should be coached up to read the OL at the snap, and check his movement so he doesn't get out of position. It looks like C1 Robber, so he has no need to drift across with the motion as the SS is dropping into the hole and will pick up the motion man if he turns upfield. He therefore has deep midfield coverage and run fit responsibility to his side. But he keeps moving even though there's no likely deep middle threat at the snap and that puts him out of position. With both guards firing out his first read there should be run, so plant and come downfield to the LOS and find the RB. Once he's out of position its too late. Now if he sat down with the WFT coaches and they asked him what he did wrong there, if he said something along those lines, I'd say he's eminently coachable and his raw talent means he has real potential. If he can't see and correct those behaviours then he won't last long. Right now he still looks better than Apke! |
