Yep, which is ridiculous when for whatever reasons they act like throwing to Henry is a bad thing.
Absolutely. Some were already mentioned and I can think of a couple screens to McNichols that went for 15+ on third down. I can also think of two screens that were absolutely destroyed, one by Simmons and I believe the other was Tart.
Philips had twice as many TD’s (10) as the next highest receiver who was TE Dulcich (5). Many though it was gonna be the Chase Cota show in 2021 but nope!
Jim Wyatt “It was fifth-round pick Kyle Philips who probably had the most impressive day of all the rookies. The former UCLA receiver made a number of nifty catches, and he also displayed some pretty fancy footwork. During a 7-on-7 period late in the session, Phillips made a spinning catch on a ball thrown by Willis, and he later made a diving catch.”
Ben a hater... showed a clip where the ball was uncatchable - LOL
I see a smaller Cooper Kupp. Though that length and size can make the difference between a solid slot and the most productive WR in the NFL.
I smaller slot that can disappear on routes will be just fine. He was my favorite pick day one. So far looking good.
Many of Derricks receiving touchdowns are screen plays. Jags game to make the playoffs, it was our only TD score I believe. - Browns nail in the coffin was one. Derrick either gets a touchdown, or gets 60 yards downfield (Texans) off those. Should be interesting to see if our retooled OL can continue the success.
And for the defensive aspect --- Todd Gurley's last significant large-scale NFL play was against us on a screen ---- what was it, 70-80 yd TD.
In a WR room consisting of Woods, Burks, Fitzpatrick, McMath, Kinsey, Malone, and our team savior Juwan Green................. I will gladly take a baby Kupp (TM)
Kinsey was supposed to be that from the undrafted side of things, but I fear he's forever the workout/practice warrior.
Would like to see these be our WRs in sept
Outside - Woods, Fitzpatrick
Outside - Burks, Westbrook, Malone
Slot - Phillips, Kinsey.
First two to PS: McMath, Hollister.
Agree… pulled for Mr. Algebra last year.. he got his, now let’s move on.
Jim Wyatt is the only person in the media world that can make a 3 syllable word like "guys" sound about 6 syllables long.... g-ah-eye-ses-ses-ses
Everything you said is correct. But this gives me some hope:
Adding Jim Schwartz as well as some personnel additions and changes really made a huge difference to the defense last year. I'm hoping that Tim Kelly will have a similar effect on the offense.

We also had 7 new starters on Defense last year. That was an entirely new unit. This year we will have at least 6 new starters on offense. Hopefully they can have as big an impact.
would love to see Racy put it together. He 100% wins looking like a WR. Just call me a Racyist
I loved when he was drafted and someone said “This guy name contains two of the things I hate most, racism and math!”
Hilarious!
Any news on this kid? Hope he’s our goldfish this year!
