Flott is not going to wow in practice but he's a gamer. I don't remember if I've seen him make egregious errors or be called out by the announce team. He's kinda like J Love in that he doesn't do anything special but just a good ball player.

Tommy has already proven he can carry the team if asked
Lock on the other hand has proved nothing in the NFL
Quote from: Philosophers on May 25, 2024, 06:04:08 PMIsn't 29% really high?Yeah but I don't know if it's relative to games played that season because he started less than most.
Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 24, 2024, 11:33:54 PMWe've seen the horrific stats about the amount of time DJ has had to throw before pressured or sacked, and I wonder if anyone can find those stats for his rookie year.2.5 with a pressure rate of 29%
For the hell of it I just watched a video of his rookie highlights and while granting they were highlights he was doing a lot of things that he supposedly now can't do - throwing the ball down the field, throwing guys open, putting the ball into tight spots, hitting guys in stride so they could get YAC, etc. But I also noticed that his protection seemed to hold up better than it did in 2023, which seems to have been a tipping point.
So I wonder if he really did have more time in the pocket in his rookie year or if that impression was just an artifact of watching a highlight video. I do know that his rookie OL gave up just over half the number of sacks than the 2023 OL but I'd really like to compare those 'time to pressure' stats if anyone has them.
BTW, watching that video reminded me of what a beast Golden Tate was in getting YAC. And how good Sterling Sharpe was back then.
Quote from: Philosophers on May 24, 2024, 11:00:20 AMBelton has always seemed ill-suited to play any type of free safety role. He played the Cash (hybrid LB/SS) role in college. I see him and Pinnock as more similar players therefore I believe Nubin will eventually replace Belton.They are just making him earn it.
Quote from: AZGiantFan on May 24, 2024, 01:41:34 PMI'm not as down on Neal as some. He had injury issues, was adjusting to moving to the right side, and had a terrible position coach. That's a lot for a young man to overcome.Not to mention having mckethan or whatever warm body was next to him.
Quote from: DaveBrown74 on May 23, 2024, 07:44:14 PMNeal should get one more opportunity to be a productive NFL RT. But that's it. This is year three, and the guy was a consensus top 10 pick. It's sink or swim time, and I frankly wouldn't give him much rope at all this year given we now have a competent RT in Eleumenor. If he starts at RT in week one, I would not keep him in for more than a couple games if he is bad again.I believe if the season started tomorrow and they didn't feel comfortable rolling with Neal, that Matt Nelson would get the nod at RT and Eluemunor would stay where he is.
In fact, as I said in another thread about a month ago, it is not even clear to me why Neal should be some preordained lock to start at the position. The guy has been nothing short of awful at it for two years now. Eleumenor was solid last year at RT on the Raiders. Why is it a lock that Neal should start in even week one?
I thought we wanted to make things as favorable as possible for DJ, not try to cling to an agenda of making a hitherto draft bust work out.
Quote from: Dumpster Dan on May 23, 2024, 08:06:43 PMHey RichGotta hope that it was either drops or him learning the playbook. As I noted earlier he had 6 Tds on day 2 so hopefully it's simply him going up and down as they do installs.
I'm OK as well as can be expected--and I suppose right now a little better than you
Get well soon
I cant believe the report of Lock being 10 for 20 can be accurate. Hell if I went out in the back yard in my underwear and had a catch with my grandkids I could do better than 10 for 20 and I am 93 years old with a dead arm.

Quote from: BluesCruz on May 23, 2024, 04:21:16 PMHe did very well at Syracuse and Illinois.....big time programsI know things get confusing here but you have trashed Jones to me at least 7 times now, when if you read any other thread would know that I don't think Jones is a very good Qb.
By contrast Jones was a big time loser at small time Duke
Where are we here, in a hall of mirrors? DeVito is better than the robotic Jones by a country mile
The delta is that Jones is now Mara's very expensive adopted sun
It seems the Giants will let DeVito float and lost to waivers....he will wind up in NE as the next Tom Brady My prediction
Jones has been touched by the hand of Mara.
