He's not winning by being a precise route runner. He's going to win by creating leverage and boxing out opposing DB's. If the QB puts the ball up, he's coming down with it. Great red zone threat. Boy. I forget which pre-season game it was. Probably the Texans because he (Lazard) beat that L Johnson schmuck for a TD on an inside route where he did box him out and sky for the football and the TD. And that was on a longer pass, 20+ yards. Flip side to that...he also failed miserable on two red zone attempts earlier in the game. One was a fade and his jump was terribly timed. The other was a quick out and he had to go down to get the ball and his hands got up about 2 seconds late on the ball. It was a routine catch for an NFL receiver and he was really, really bad on that play. Just tempering the "great red zone threat" stuff concerning him. He's not like that...yet.

We'll probably find out tomorrow, Packers have guys in for tryouts... Interesting note, former Packer Lenzy Pipkins is in town. I didn't know he was a FA, he's got talent. He'd be an excellent PS guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a FA now, so he probably missed his window to develop from prospect status. But, I remember him being very physically talented, for whatever that's worth.

Donzo Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just now, Mr. Fussnputz said: Pipkins was/is a very physical player. He could be a candidate for that hybrid S/ILB position. I agree 100%. The thing is he's bounced around a little now and he's available as a FA on the first Sunday of the season. That kinda shows us he has't progressed and probably isn't an NFL player. But, as the 10th guy on the PS, I'd like that a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a hybrid S/ILB he is worth a look as a PS backup to Raven Greene. From his days as a Packer, he seems to be physically tough enough to play that role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donzo Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I didn't see anything on Pipkins, but I saw WR Trinity Benson and LB Joey Alfieri were brought in for tryouts... Both are very good athletes, I remember them as top UDFA types... They'd be excellent PS guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donzo Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 So, Ben Braden (OG) is the new PS guy. I never heard of him. He was just cut by the Jets. He's been on the Jets PS since 2017. Kinda like the the Jets version of Pankey except with no time on the 53/R... He's a big guy, we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
