I really dont understand Nijman over Christensen at lt at all. Nijman has been terrible every time and hes more of a RT anyway.

I could definitely see that. I really dont see a way he makes it physically playing a high percentage of plays on both sides of the ball.

I personally disagree. I think he will end up being a better wr than cb. He has elite body control and is great at adjusting to balls. He reminds me of a poor man's Justin jefferson as far as build and strengths.

The order of the reporting maybe, but they werent happy with his conditioning and then put him on a workout program which he apparently worked on. There is smoke there regardless of what you believe because its not a totally normal thing to put a player on a team regulated workout plan, it can happen though.

That was pre Thielen trade and Coker injury.

Well the ground cant cause a fumble so to me it seems weird that it can cause an incompletion.

One is happening in the field of play and one isnt.

Yea it just doesnt work well in the modern defense with 2 deep safeties all the time.

I think this is kind of puff because he is clearly focused on bringing in receivers that fit his old style.

I wasn't comparing them, you were. Nor was I comparing their overall game in any way. I was comparing the single thing you pulled up as your argument.

Perfect example. Now compare the receivers. Here's a secret for you. Deep balls and how good they are is actually at minimum 50% on the receiver. Their separation, their adjustment to the ball thrown, their catch rate, etc. The Bengals receivers greatly help those numbers. The Panthers receivers have historically very much so hurt those numbers. Deep balls are the most overrated thing to judge a qb on that there is.

Hes gotten his ass handed to him every time I remember him playing.

We are obsessed with big straight line speed receivers.

We have had one of the worst groups of skill players in the NFL since he came in the league. Maybe not this year, we will see, but no one is proven.

I think you're making the opposite of the argument you're trying to.

All the stuff about Horn being uncoverable were from the practices without pads. That said, I still think he could develop in to a player over time.

This is more of a question than a statement. Could overly hanging on to pretty good players be a problem for us though?

We dont care about getting receivers that actually get open. We show that every year in the draft. That's not a quality our front office values in receivers.

I think it only helps. They are still just calling plays from the same playbook and you aren't showing wrinkles or tendencies in preseason. They dont watch tape of the other team ahead of time so there is really no chess to it. I dont think it hurts in any way.

It is one of the things ive always heard mentioned about him. Steve Smith has said it a lot, even places like pff that love him, etc. They say he runs "California routes" where they are a little more rounded out and smooth instead of sharp and quick. Almost lackadasical but thats probably too strong. I think he will learn pretty quick that hes going to have to add some urgency and preciseness to his routes, hopefully.

I would say he knew by the fact Sanders was nowhere to be seen in the play when he was supposed to be the check down. Ive not seen the all 22 so I dont know if he could have seen the actual hold or not.

Are these preseason game stats that you're quoting? If so, you've said enough. Also Canales isn't even calling plays in the preseason, and you dont gameplan, watch tape at all, and try to be as vanilla as possible to not show anything for preseason games... please tell me you're not talking about preseason game statistics and these are from something else.

Yea there are some differences though. Sellers was named a captain as a freshman and was sec academic honors every semesters. After this season he will have a lot more experience as well. I dont know that hes worth an early pick just yet but he definitely has the potential. My conspiracy theory about us being into him is mostly based on the fact that we had like 16 south carolina guys in for visits in the pre draft and I dont think we drafted a single one. I feel like they were doing some early digging on Sellers potentially.

He doesnt fit in our scheme at all, trading assets, his age, and the huge contract. It makes absolutely no sense and im hoping its all just people guessing based on our previous need for pass rush. He is a 43 end, I wouldn't want him at edge.
