I referenced this play when we first traded for him. By no means a perfect throw from Love, but Wicks needed to stack Slay on this route. He instead stayed outside, giving Slay the position he needed to not just make a play on the ball but to pick it off.

    I don’t usually get personal on here, but your post hit me. I’ve been where you are. I’ve had a couple suicide attempts in my past and spent time in inpatient treatment afterward. I’m still in therap

you do realize that we won't get a 2026 draft pick for AJ if he's traded post June 1st right? They ARE NOT trading him prior to that.....

In this draft scenario Howie has a time machine.

Which still may be more realistic than Reese falling to 23.

Old stat. Not sure what to make of it amyway.

Disregard the Puka comment, but look at the route combinations and the use of motion with the intention of creating leverage for an easy throw with YAC for the WR. Loved the use of motion into a wheel that actually ended up a deep dig. Smart stuff.

On a note unrelated to WRs, but related to the offensive scheme, I have begun to wonder if making easy reads for a QB, the way a similar offensive system has resuscitated Daniel Jones' career may do the same for a draft pick like Drew Allar.

He has first-round arm talent with prototypical QB size and a bit of mobility. He played for a horrible talent developer and makes many poor decisions with the football. He was a guy who was supposed to ascend to being a 1st round prospect but hasn't come close to realizing that potential. Still, there is some talent in there.

In this offense.... could the talent emerge?

Drew Allar is too stupid to be a successful pro QB. He makes the worst decisions possible in the biggest moments of the biggest games.

I have a two word response to this: James Franklin.

I'm not going to blame James Franklin, who sucks in his own right, for the bad decisions that Drew Allar makes. Some players just have a special level of an anti-clutch gene. You can't fix that. It is ingrained into who they are. That is what Drew Allar has.

Pretty solid breakdown IMO

Traded a 4th round pick and McKee for 44.. Well I had to put in Baun since they don't give the option to trade McKee but that was my rationale. I like Thaddeus Dixon as developmental corner for us. 6 foot 195 with good arm length

A drop rate of 19% in 2024 is bonkers. That's gotta be some sort of record.

Meanwhile Howie is keeping $30M+ in cap open for no reason, right?

He's keeping it open for the Jalen Hurts trade

He needs the room to take on Myles Garrett's contact

After we take Ty Simpson at 23. And TATE explodes.

Big Dom is spending the weekend in Sedona with Maxx Crosby's doctor.

Yeah. He does. He also had an idiot coach. This offense is supposed to make things easier for stupid QBs which is why some people have hope for Hurts in it. The same may go for Allar.

I wasn’t the biggest Slay fan but the best thing he did was never get beat on go routes over the top. After years of watching Mills constantly get torched deep it was very refreshing to see.

Yeah...

Lots not to like.

The 3 years of declining production means he is getting further from this imaginary potential people keep talking about him possibly reaching.

9 drops with only 39 catches is insane. almost 19% drop rate. Are you Fing kidding me?

The fact that he already runs "Decent enough routes" and works his butt off because he blocks means he is already realizing all of the potential he ever had as a very ordinary athlete for the wide receiver position with some all time terrible hands.

There is nothing more to extract from this guy. He should help teach the WR room the offense this year and be gone. But, we have already extended him for some reason.

Jalen Hurts is a championship level clutch QB. He has played his best football in the biggest games. Making big plays in crunch time.

Drew Allar is the opposite of that.

how come this guy looks pretty beastly with minimal production? can you always find these under the radar beasts on that tennessee DL because of how much they rotate playing time?

These Shanahan/McVay guys have it figured out, easy reads for dummies -and- easy throws for processors.

Allar is still in college. At that point in Hurts' career he was benched, instead of playing for championships.

Hurts developed in to a clutch QB and unfortunately lost that gene this season.

Remains to be seen if Allar develops that, or even just becomes a good QB in general instead of being the guy who brings a bucket of water to the fire he started like Hurts does.

If I assume that McKee is traded, then I have to figure out a way to fit in Nuss.
