Small midget LB who makes a lot of plays against 3rd string? One of the old WR barnacles who manages to survive from year to year by attaching himself to the hull on the practice squad?

I can't wait!!!!

Are there any guys like that this year? I can't think of any on-the-bubble guys that everybody thinks will make the roster.

A lot of young guys are impressing, but they can't all make the roster. There's going to be a surprise cut or two that has people going, "whhaaaaaat?" It's just math.

It honestly just might be somebody like Deandre Baker. Not trying to pick on or single him out specifically, but it's going to be somebody like him.

That get off was pathetic.

He had one of the best MPH readings at the Senior Bowl. He’s not a burner, but his speed is adequate. I’m sure he’s not playing as fast because of the mental aspect right now though.

Hope that's right, his routes just look like he's gonna have issues with separation.


Then again I thought the same thing about receivers in the past who surprise me

Dante84 08-09-2021 11:40 AM

Definitely a contested catch/possession guy as opposed to an instant separation guy

Oh, ****. Look at him chop those feet. Beautiful technique.

He isn't looking great in 1-on-1 pass blocking drills, but those are tough for offensive linemen. Let the big fella get downhill and rough some of the other guys up. After getting walloped a few times I'm guessing they'll have a little less gas to give him trouble off the edge.

Took him forever to come out of that break. Not a great rep.

It's going to be hard for him to create separation with his lack of speed.

He needs to be really crisp on his routes in order to get open. Looks like he has some serious work ahead.

Joe Thuney is such a calming player. He’s just like Mitch. Does everything really well and is such technically sound that he doesn’t lose often.

Humphrey is very similar as well.

Great to see our interior be upgraded to such a level. It’s going to help Patrick out so much

Hammock Parties 08-09-2021 11:57 AM

I think the Chiefs are going to absolutely pile up the rushing yards running between C-LG.

This will be really good for the play action boots the other way.

Fun year is coming for Reid.

I'm not into "Jump ball" receivers as ive stated many times.

However, Powell DOES do a great job of creating separation at the point of the catch. He seems to have a knack for it.

I don't think he's pigeon holed into "jump ball guy" per se, but i do think he's a guy that will have to run "strong" routes if that makes any sense. Bodying up a guy to gain leverage. Running through bump n run coverage, or just plain running through a guy who's trying to squeeze him, and then creating the separation at the point of the catch.

He's got those seemingly Stretch Armstrong arms.

Kinda reminds me of Chris Chambers in that way. Chris Chambers might be a good pro comp, i'll have to look at that.

Powell’s speed is fine.

There is a reason he was described as our “post up WR” to replace Watkins by the scouts.

It's not speed with Powell, it's quickness.

Not everyone is Tyreek Hill.. We’ve been spoiled.. Travis gets open easy enough.. Powell will be fine once he learns the playbook and gets comfortable..

C-RG too. Smith appears to be a mauler.
