Jeudy was my 9th ranked player and Ruggs my 11th. And I usually don’t like WR’s high, especially Alabama WR’s. I can honestly say that lamb was my favorite easily. I knew for a fact that ruggs was the one we needed the most from our team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that 100% but a common rebuttal to that I’ve heard is if Edwards does good that doesn’t prove that we shouldn’t I have taken lamb it just means we should’ve taken them both. What’s your take on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s your take on that? That makes no sense at all. Lamb and Edwards are similar. Lamb is definitely more elusive/dodgy than Edwards, but they are both that tough catch in traffic guy. And both are not speed demons by any stretch of the imagination. One thing that annoyed me during the draft process that year was people overrating Lamb’s speed. Lamb looks like a 4.5 on tape, and also ran a 4.5. Defenses are not gonna respect him over the top. Edwards is also a 4.5 speed. Ruggs is legit 4.2 speed and teams always have to respect the back-end when he’s in the game. Defenses have to play us completely different when we have Ruggs. Same applies to the Chiefs and Tyreek Hill, and whatever team usually has Will Fuller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams will play our offense completely differently if we didn't have ruggs. Another thing too. I have to be completely honest one thing I loved about lamb personally besides the contested catches(with ruggs obviously had also) is that he broke so many tackles in college. Specifically the one that got me was when he broke like five tackles against Texas. But my thing with that is there's no way he's going to do that at his eyes against grown men in the nfl on a consistent basis. There's also reason to believe that there's not much growth between what he is now and his potential. That's key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Perryman has really been a blessing for this team. When he hits someone you notice it. He’s violent. Raiders don’t win a lot of trade but they won that one. Got him for next year as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 HR3 did a lot of work in the offseason to get stronger and it shows. He's tracking the ball better, aware of where he is on the field, etc. It's been great to see. Most importantly, Gruden is getting him involved in different ways. Yesterday was exactly what you wanted to see from him. Short, intermediate and toasted them long if Carr could have connected it. Arrow is up on both him and Edward. Edwards, I wanted anywhere in the draft so happy with that pick regardless if HR3 personally. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Loved the play that Gruden drew up where Ruggs does his motion thing but this time he stopped and ran like a quick out route. That play is always money. Really it’s an easy 5 yards at least. That type of route should be ran more in the red zone. Saw the Dolphins use it for the two point conversion and then saw Rodgers and Adams use it for a TD in the 49er/Packers game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickButera Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Remember when no reasonable human being on the planet could ever imagine a world where Max Crosby could replace Mack? 😳 Maxx Crosby continues to be a NIGHTMARE for opposing QBs: Most pressures this season: Maxx Crosby 21 Harold Landry 19 3 players tied 16 Most QB hits this season: Maxx Crosby 12 Chandler Jones 11 Myles Garrett 9 @CrosbyMaxx pic.twitter.com/LXVZPrZmu6 https://twitter.com/NFLonCBS/status/1442496463876018177 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I appreciate a TEAM that doesn't give up. Really good to see when down 14 early. Didn't want to read anything in this form because I expected a yoyo of replies as I was quite verbal myself. lol In the end...The WIN is all that matters and being down early with no Jacobs probably opened things up earlier than Gruden would have normally. 3-0 WooHoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Tbh sad to see what Mack has become with the Bears. He was amazing that year he was traded and just hasn’t been much since. I hope he can leave the bears and rejuvenate his career where it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a feel good story it would be. We would have to be competitive though. At least 6-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
