They haven't caught several balls that were catchable...some right to the hands.

OH I did not see that. Thanks. Wilkerson is not surprising, but I thought Nixon had good hands.

 

[PatsFan2]

Has anyone asked BB why he flipped the tackles? Might not get a real answer, but it's interesting.

I'm not a fan of Shorter LT's in Today's game Wynn is too short and injury prone Brown is a Huge upgrade at LT literally and figuratively.

If I had to guess it’s because Trent is the better player, played great there in 2018. Also Wynn is more fragile, I would guess if he got hurt they might slide Onwenu out to right tackle. Onwenu wasn’t as effective on the left side of the line but looks great on the right. They should have a lot of guard depth with Russey, Dejarlais and Hambright so it will be easier to fill inside if one or both of the OT’s need to be replaced.

Really the guy has like zero stats.

Yep. Young WR who spent time time with the Eagles mostly last year. only 24. 6'0 - 194. 9 1/4" hands 30 5/8" arms..

Was part of a WR Group at FL that included Van Jefferson, Tyrie Cleveland, and Freddie Swain. Not invited to the Combine. Their Pro-Day was Cancelled due to COVID.

Totals At Florida:
87 receptions for 1,138 yards and six touchdowns and 134 yards and two touchdowns rushing in 49 games played.

Josh Hammond: The forgotten Florida wide receiver in the NFL Draft

Josh Hammond is the forgotten Florida wide receiver in the draft, but that doesn't bother him. He's ready to make an impact wherever he can.

www.profootballnetwork.com

"The versatile pass catcher demonstrated a knack for manufacturing yards after the catch, as 55 percent of his total receiving yards followed the reception, and he went 20 straight games without dropping a pass."

"Hammond instantly emerged as a leader for the East team, habitually kicking off each drill and perfecting it, setting the bar high for those that followed. Though reps were few and far between for each member of the immensely deep receiving corps, Hammond impressed with his smooth route running, soft hands, and keen attention to detail."

This kid could end up on the PS and develop along like Jakobi Meyers.

 

[DaBruinz]

It seems both Nixon and Wilkerson have struggled a bit so far in training camp.

Is it that they've struggled or that they are so far down the depth chart, they aren't getting many reps?

 

[Zuma]

Per a couple folks at Unfiltered...both have had opportunities and did not make the catches over the past 3 days. However just now both made catches LOL.

3 TD's today against Dugger per Unfiltered.

 

[DaBruinz]

I hope their names get mentioned when they put on the pads. Or hopefully Nixon have PS eligibility.

Why wouldn't Nixon have PS eligibility? He's in his 2nd year. They've also changed the PS eligibility rules so teams can have "veteran" players on it.

Wonder if Hoyer is gonna get Zappe'd.

Given my alma mater, I’m rooting for him. But I doubt he’s anything more than camp fodder at this point.

Secondary 1sts: Mitchell, Mills, Dugger, Phillips and Bledsoe per Unfiltered

Wow, obviously we know what DMac can do, but seems like the coaching staff was impressed with Bledsoe’s work the last few days. We’ll see if he can keep it up against the 1s.

 

[Zuma]

 

[jah]

Funny how they mention Mills "basically caught it by accident" considering he failed to pick off a single pass last year. Hopefully that changes in 2022.

I'm not reading too much into Bledsoe running with the 1s yet, because McCourty is the player he's replacing and that's probably just to give the veteran a breather. I expect Peppers or even Bryant might be ahead of Bledsoe on the depth chart when available. I do like what I've heard about him this week.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Nixon is a younger version of Agholor similar skillset.

Agreed. Nixon is a bit quicker in the short field (better shuttle), and a lot stronger (18 bench reps versus 12). That is why I would like to see Nixon in the slot, guys like Edelman and T Brown were strong guys who were not easily pushed around. Meyers is bigger as well, but he lacks the speed to threaten the depth of the field. Nixon is pretty quick (6.8 sec 3-cone), pretty fast (4.44 sec 40), and pretty strong (18 reps), so he is a good balance in the slot. Hope his hands are OK - need that in the slot.

- Thornton working as Gunner per Unfiltered

 

[Froob]

I think my biggest concern going into the year is we seem to have only 5 good OL and we are pretty much guaranteed to see Brown and/or Wynn to miss time. We could slide Onwenu to RT when needed, but we don't really have any good backups (i.e. Karras) this year.

How do you feel about K Bourne in the slot??
