Benjamin admits that he got tired


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Kelvin Benjamin hit the rookie wall last season, admitting that he got mentally tired.

“I’m working coming out of my breaks on curl routes, my footwork and getting timing down with Cam,” Benjamin said, via Steve Reed of the Associated Press."

Nothing much, but at least you get a glimpse into his mindset, have a reason as to why he may have let a few get away last year (not that he is using that as an excuse), and another reason to think that some marked improvement is coming.

He was a rookie so you can expect that in his first season. This year you should see a lot of more improvement from him. Let's hope he can keep the dropped balls down to a minimum and a lot more of going up top on defenders in end zone. I'm happy for Benji and I think he can be great in Carolina!

KB seems like the type of guy that is really hard on himself, always wanting to improve. He also wants to do well for his QB.

 

You combine that with the obvious talent he has, and his size, what's not to like? The future is bright.

Of course this is a thread...

For starters he was coming off a longer than usual college season due to winning a national championship, add in the combine, private workouts, the draft and rookie mini camp and he barely had a off-season. Of course he's going to get tired, it was non stop for him for almost a year and a half.

    • his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen. 
    • Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.
    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
