Portyansky Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 How quickly DP forgot what kind of impact Ward had last year. Its mind numbing. Him and Wentz had great chemistry and all Ward does is catch balls!! JJAW should be no where near the field. Rather go with Reagor, Djax, Ward, Hightower (Till Alshon returns, but who knows) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe both guys will eventually be great. Maybe even JJAW will prove to be better than people think he is. Right now, we don't really know. All I know is that somebody better make a play if they get a legit chance or Jeffery better come back soon. Wentz hasn't looked comfortable since Jeffery has been missing. 2 minutes ago, Portyansky said: Give him the same opportunity JJAW has. Then we will see.

You're comparing a rookie v a 2nd year player. In fact I believe they had almost even snaps and Hightower was targeted more, that right there tells you that he is getting some kind of separation that Wentz decided to go to him. But Ward has been the biggest mystery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also Hightower’s 1st opportunity in the NFL and JJAAW’s 10th it 15th opportunity. The only thing consistent about JJAW’s game at this point is not being able to seperate and continuously proving he doesn’t belong in the NFL. I hope to hell he improves fast but all early signs point to an absolute waste of a 2nd round pick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward only played 13 snaps yesterday. Not sure how many of those were passing plays or running plays, but 13 snaps for the guy who has proven to be a sure handed option who can move the chains is unacceptable.

It didn’t even look like they targeted him when he was out there and even last week when they did the quarterback missed him. I’d rather see Ward than JJAW, but the don’t play the same position. 13 snaps for Ward is low. Maybe he’s fallen out of favor by the coaching staff. Maybe Doug is trying to drive home a point to the FO? Stop giving me lemons like JJAW with your picks. Just now, time2rock said: Just curious, how many targets did JJAW have?

One that he dropped (not a great pass but very catchable) and the interception which was a horrid decision/throw. Other than those plays he was invisible. Hopefully they see that and give Hightower more time next week. One tough game, in his first ever playing time in the NFL, and they basically take him off the field entirely for week two. Yet they keep giving JJAW chances despite 18 games worth of sucking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShutDownDB Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 As I said in the game day thread, it doesn't matter if it's a good pass or bad nothing good happens when the ball is thrown to JJAW. Reminds me a lot of Josh Huff in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of JJAW in any way but kinda hard to fault JJAW for his lack of producing he isn’t getting any balls thrown his way (unless he just isn’t getting open).

He deserves to be more involved. There are other ways to use his speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
