Just a Thought on the Pass Catchers

[PrometheusFaulk]

For some inspiration, if you are inquiring, check this out, right around the one minute mark against the Chargers:



Watch how Jackson reels the DB into thinking he's running stride for stride with him, than at that last second changes gears to grab the ball uncontested.

I think Tavon can do that.

Will they ask him to? I'm not certain, but I think it makes sense to try, given his ability.

[/QUOTE="PrometheusFaulk, post: 348964, member: 741"]Maybe, maybe not.

But I don't think they drafted him number 8 overall to run screens and situationally take handoffs out of the backfield exclusively.

I think there's a bigger plan in place for Tavon. We'll see if I'm right, and more importantly, if so that the plan can be executed.[/QUOTE]
I'm thinking there's a bigger place for him too, just not sure it's in that role. And he certainly can do more than bubble screens. I'm talking about far more than that.

I remember reading he caught 60%-75% of his passes his senior year in a 10-15 yard range of the LOS....Leads me to believe that his role as a slot wr will be similar, until he gets experience running routes...

That should be sold on a shirt at the dome.

Don't encourage him.

That's why I don't have much confidence in him as a true#1. I believe he can be more than last year, though. I just don't think he's the type of player to fight with Sherman for 4 quarters.
