Uche has been a mild disappointment to me as well

Did you see the video on ‘X’ that the Cheetah uses to show his blocking prowess? It’s embarrassing.

A 180-pound guy stonewalls Uche? Disgraceful really.

So Uche is what he is. Same as at Michigan where he barely broke into the starting lineup and that only as a senior. The guy who barely saw the field against pro style Penn State as a senior.

He’s a third down pass rusher. But he doesn’t have the football IQ in pass coverage or the bulk to set the edge.

That’s why I appreciate Anfernee Jennings. You know, a football player.

By "dirty work", he means falling on the dirt a lot, and watching the ball land in the dirt, and having his value hit the dirt... and other dirt puns.

Somewhat true - he seems to be a one trick pony. I loved how Jennings showed up in game 1, and the beginning of the Jets game. I hope he gets more opportunity.

someone will still probably overpay Uche

hes elite when he wants to be.. I'd extend him but not more than 2 years and id definitely throw some heavy incentives in there to keep him honest

 

[yukon cornelius]

Those are the Pro Football Reference numbers. I believe they assign catches to the nearest defender regardless of responsibility, so underneath passes can count against him even if he’s covering somebody down the field, as long as no other defender is closer.

yeah PFF guesses, and treats zone like man......plus raw numbers don't take into account who they are covering

3 proposed trade packages for Patriots to land All-Pro WR Davante Adams

 

[Real fan 02]

Looks like Forbes is having himself a great start to his rookie campaign as well.. according to some Washington fans, he's dropped 4-5 picks already so his ball hawk skills seem to be carrying over from college.. he just needs to hold onto some of them and he will start changing games and flipping fields

Agreed, IMO it means QBs are testing him as he's a rookie.. nice to have INTs.. however when QBs don't try you is the true tell tale like gonzo QBs are learning to respect him.. he's locking guys up.

 

[Real fan 02]

But unlikely that it'll be us.

I'd like to see a little more from him.. he's been good this season.. but looking for him to be more consistent.

No need to overpay, maybe a 2nd at most. With his contract and age you might get him for a 4th.

Seems like he was just Traded to the Raiders McDaniels' look so uncomfortable.
