when I see plays like that
what makes him and washington slot guys vs outside wrs?
OBJ was only 5 10 at most and stick skinny and was elite outside WR
are we pencilling them into the slot due to height?

This has been my question with what some of the NFL guys are doing these days that aren’t very tall.

Yes there are some outlier guys in the NFL who line up outside and are **** good players. I’m not saying it’s an automatic slot label for anyone under 5’10. Good WR’s come in all shapes and sizes. BUT, those guys are in the NFL for a reason and more times than NOT, it’s very difficult for shorter guys outside against those bigger press CBs.

Joseph is the epitome of a slot guy though. He is more quick than fast (not slow at all though), extremely good hands, smart and very good after the catch. He will be a QBs best friend. Hopefully we set him up to succeed and develop with the proper coaching. He is ready to get reps day 1 IMO.

Official - Emory Williams - 2023 QB COMMIT

Rattler performed at the highest level in college and did good. Yes. But he was on a very talented team with a great OC and got benched by a freshman and transferred. Not a lot of takers for him either and ended up at South Carolina.

2023 - TE Prospect 23 Jamari Johnson

I like this prospect out of LA. Played at Inglewood High last year and Inglewood had a good szn last year making it to th eplayoffs. Was able to see a game on Bally Sports randomly on a friday in south florida and realized Inglewood had a few good prospects with him being one of them. I think...

for the shorter, i.e., (under 6-2/6-3) type guys it boils down to this:

1) can they beat the press using their short area quickness and leverage against guys who may be bigger and long armed, and
2) do they have the vertical to extend their catch radius when high-pointing balls

If they have those things, they can play the X, or be outside as opposed to just slot guys

(in the old days, think guys like mark clayton or desean jackson)

  • Dante Moore hits a streaking Nathaniel Joseph down the middle for a TD. Joseph is a massive get for Miami in my opinion. Arguably the top slot in America.
    Dante Moore rips one to an open Jaedn Skeete who has room to run.

Awesome to hear but many of us have thought this for a while. He will be an instant security blanket for our guy because of his ability to separate. However he is not the outside guy we need.

I’ll take action on that. X will start but Ray Ray will get plenty of minutes. His quickness is better than both of those guys and I think he is close to being as fast as Brashard. Ray Ray will make an impact because we out right suck at WR and his quickness in and out of breaks is special.
