Who knows what is going to happen? Yea. I know others have thoughts that it’s a matter of time until Diggs loses his cool, I don’t. Clicking with Stroud isn’t making the situation clearer.

There are three big-name Rbs with bad metrics and going to new teams: Barkley, Mixon and Jacobs. "They'll do better, that prior team sucked." We shall see. I'm skeptical with all of 'em.

"They'll do better, that prior team sucked." We shall see. I'm skeptical with all of 'em. well, I use metrics. They can be very useful, but metrics are not everything. Sometimes the metrics are a read on the run game as a whole moreso than the player specifically. what complicates things is when the line isnt good and /or the starting QB misses significant time. some of these issue affected all of these RB. when this happens you need to use the eye test. That will tell you if the player is doing the things they need to do or if the run was bad due to subpar line play etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 890 Posted July 25 Interesting stat I stumbled across... '23 Wr most broken tackles 1) Collins... 16 2) Hill, Samuel...12 4) Lamb... 11 5) St. Brown, Diggs, Wilson... 10 8)) DJ Moore, AJ Brown, Flowers... 9 Some really big names on that list and Collins bested them all by a wide margin.

weepaws 2,693 Posted July 25 Not really that big of a surprise, Collins is the biggest of all those listed, I do believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still impressive. He's a big easy target with a huge catch radius. Reliable hands too. His 40-yd dash time of 4.45 is also impressive for a dude that size. Faster than Lamb, St. Brown, Deebo, and AJ Brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Collins going round three and Dell a couple rounds later. Both possible #2 wrs along with Diggs. Only one football as they say but I’m beginning to consider other options. Dells as a #3 ok but Collins round three I’m leery. And then there’s Diggs and Schultz. Throw in Mixon and there’s just to much talent. This is Tampa 2021. All 3 will be productive... solid #2's when they're all there. If one gets hurt, the two healthy ones will be WR1 candidates every week. First 6 Weeks: Evans WR14, Brown WR15, Godwin WR22 Week 7-15: Godwin WR4, Evans WR11 *Godwin tore his ACL week 15, Evans had a hamstring injury Week 16, Brown went nuts Week 17. To note, Tampa threw the ball 721 times that year. No, I don't think Stroud throws the ball that many times... but, they don't have a "Gronkowski" either. Houston did throw the ball almost 600 times last year. I think 600+ is definitely in the cards. I'd say 625 is probably the ceiling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 890 Posted July 31 July 29 update... Quote Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (hamstring) remained absent from Monday's training camp practice. Mixon has missed more than a week now with his hamstring injury, which has allowed backup Dameon Pierce extra repetitions after a disappointing sophomore campaign in Houston. There are no indications that Mixon's injury will put him in danger of missing the start of the 2024 regular season. And so it begins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maximum Overkill 1,125 Posted August 1 Collins breakout wasn't a fluke, he's the real deal. He was dominating corners and winning every 50/50 ball. He's highway robbery at his ADP IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,693 Posted August 1 Collins ADP is basically a wr1, I don’t see highway robbery, for a wr1. But with the Diggs and Dell that might be to high, I’m not interested. Wr2 I’m in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recently read this interesting stat about last year: Collins was targeted 12 times on passes of 20+ yards... caught 11. Diggs was targeted 16 times on passes of 20+ yards... caught 4.
