I like him as a fourth guy in the slot out of a 4 wide look. I’m not anti Higgins at all. He’s super productive on third down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Doesnt his best work come on the boundary rather than the slot? Higgins is such a strange player, hodge is twice the athlete but half the receiver that higgins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the dude is productive. Finds a ways to get open and makes the catches. Out of 90WRs to have 500+ yards, Higgins is 1 of 8 WRs to avg 16yards or more a catch. Dude just knows how to play the position. Explains why he was so good college 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieCamp Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Higgins is ordinary physically, so he was never highly regarded. No way I could find it right now, but I thought that I had read that he was slow to pick up the playbook and would constantly need to told where to line up (in 2019, I think). Dude produces on the field, and he's signed for cheap. No complaints here. I do like Hodge. Seems to do the little things. Can't explain why he hasn't been more productive at WR, but he is a good ST'er, and everyone (including the coaches) loves him. Would be cool to see him get involved more in the passing game. Again, he's cheap, and we're still suspect on specials, so again, no complaints from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Think this discussion soon will become largely academic if DPJ keeps balling like he is in camp and Schwartz can contribute early as a burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point that has to count. He gets open with good route running and catches the football with decent size on him. Hes not a height/weight/speed combine darling--but yeah, something has to count for being able to get open and having good hands. He also has extremely good body control. Hes like a poor mans Michael Thomas. Edited August 5, 2021 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gives? Didn't draw any/much/enough interest from any other team in the league, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of DPJ and Schwartz developing, helps to move on from Landry and OBJ not Higgins tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this year, yes. But this year they cut into HIggins snaps and targets to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk it be hard to stop using Higgins. Pretty sure him and baker have the best connection on the team when you look at QB rating when targetting specific WRs . Sure he isnt dynamtic but he gets first downs and keeps drives alive. 37 catches, he turnes 26 of them into 1st downs. I also cant aee Schwartz taking snaps from Higgins. They play the game completely different from one another. Guy like Schwartz would make Higgins even better. Higgins is absolutely money in the intermediate game. You pair him and Schwartz up on the same side and allow that intermediate gamw to open up cause safeties are bailing quick because of Schwartz, we could see Higgins become an efficentcy monster. DPJ is the true threat to OBJ and Jarvis, dude has the making of a #1 WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornbybrown Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 DPJ reminds me a little of Josh Gordon, long strider that covers ground without looking like he is running fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he learns how to play the position he has lower end number 1/high end number 2 ability imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed kinda slow last year. Maybe straight line fast but his cuts and change of direction wasn’t good. That’s why he looked so bad on returns.

He looked like a player who had to think about what he was doing last year rather than just do it, that always makes players look slow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really liked about him last year was his body control, reminds me a little of Braylon in that regard, who had amazing body control, he just struggled with ego and catching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
