He was great at oklahoma...has some off field baggage...and he's kinda skinny...but he was an excellent dart throw at the end of dynasty draftsSameSongNDance said:I just watched the highlights. It's against 3rd stringers but
Allen looked a lot better than West running behind the first team O line. Ajayi looked good catching the ball out of the backfield.Ilov80s said:
Really? Didn't seem that impressive. A corner fell down, a short out route when given a big cushion, a pretty lucky throw over the middle when there were 4 defenders all around.SameSongNDance said:I just watched the highlights. It's against 3rd stringers but
They definitely have the weapons and play in the right division to do it. I'm just not sure the coaches are interested in that style. After Winston's boneheaded falling to the ground toss the ball up for grabs INT in the RZ, I am even more sure Koetter is scared of Winston.
True. Other than that though Jameis looked pretty surgical. What may be even more important is how well the line was protecting him. They were poised to be the weak link.
I would definitely stream either D there. It looks like Tyrod is on his way out. I am seriously surprised the Bills haven't traded McCoy at this point.
Nah....that's just Winston. 90% of the time he does the right thing. The other 10 he tries something insane
I like the way he moves. He is quick in his breaks and good after the catch. Strong for his size as well.
It's exactly what Koetter was trying to tell him in Hard Knocks- we don't need you to win us games, we have a good team so don't blow this.

You guys aren't kidding - holy crap. Maybe Westbrook and #10 should get a shot with A-Rob and that group?SameSongNDance said:I just watched the highlights. It's against 3rd stringers but
I was going to say the RAC was extremely impressive, and two of those grabs were definitely not easy (the one with all sorts of traffic in the middle of the field, and the leaping catch on the sideline where he kinda tipped it to himself.
He does look good, which is interesting after hearing so many analysts say he couldn't hack it on the outside and Buffalo was filled with slot WRs. Also, I heard on the RotoWorld podcast speculation that Buffalo was clearly building an offense around Peterman with the trades they made. Sure looks like it. That said, the knock on him was supposed to be arm strength, but he threw some pretty good balls in those clips. That second link is a laser off his back foot.SameSongNDance said:
As I saw someone mention elsewhere ... these 4th quarter things can be neutral or negative for prospects. It certainly was negative, and what's really standing in his way? Allen Robinson can still play with a good QB, but what else? Marquise Lee and Allen Hurns don't strike me as super stiff competition.
Meanwhile Wentz is 10-13-112-1 in 4 series'. He looked to be on his way to another TD before Blount fumbled.
But both Hurns and Lee did not play and Westbrook is still not in the game until the 4th. Westbrook's stock will no doubt rise a round or two after last night. He is a solid late round rookie or deep dynasty draft pick, but I won't be drafting him ahead of Lee or Hurns at this point.
Isn't PHI grooming Pumphrey to be Sproles' replacement? I'm not sure you are going to replace a guy like Sproles, but if Pumphrey can get close to Sproles' production after this year, he is worth a shot in the mid rounds of rookie drafts.
They want Pumphrey to replace him, which is part of the reason Sproles has even less upside this year. Pumphrey has looked less than ordinary in games though. This is White/Lewis only with less talent (given Sproles' age) and less upside.
To his credit, he doesn't play that slow and has better hands than I expected as well.
I just don't think Clement is going to excel going up against the #1's during the regular season.
My comments are strictly from a dynasty perspective. A player flashing in his opportunities is a good thing, and should earn him increased opportunities. Every catch Westbrook has this preseason has gone for at least 20 yards.
Clement is a pretty solid all around player. He just lacks the juice to really excel at the pro level imo.
I don't know much about Rob Kelley to compare them. It is possible I suppose that Clement could have a run like Kelley if their other RB face plant/are injured.
He's a much better prospect than Kelley. Kelley is the worst RB prospect ever to actually start an NFL game in my lifetime. I just meant that he could be passable for a brief stretch, but can never carve out a starting job for very long.
I was gonna ask why he isn't even getting carries. Not a great time to be hurt, he will lose any positive buzz he had going for him
Or he laying low, ready to spring into action when the regular season comes...maybe that is extreme but we know Blount is BAD.
Is it too much to ask for a Devonta Freeman-esque emergence from the ashes for Smallwood? Probably, but that's what I'm hoping for. Blount may be an elite goal line back but outside of the redzone, the best he can do is heroically run into the back of the line for 2 yards. There will hopefully be an opportunity for someone else.
