He does a lot of stutter steps at the line, but they don’t seem to do a lot to fool defenders or help his releases. Hopefully the coaches and KA can help him eliminate some of the Brownian motion from his route running. It reminds me a year ago from the way Herbert had the bad habit of flipping the ball end over end in his hands while he was in the pocket and that they specifically addressed it as because it was wasted time and ball movement and kept him from being ready to throw the ball. I saw a Herbert video recently on YouTube comparing his rookie season and his time at Oregon and I kept seeing that ball flip in the Oregon highlights.
It was actually a great video coming from a guy who had predicted that Herbert would be a bust and he even talked about how it had impacted his draft evaluation of QBs moving forward.

Perry was slower than shit. Slow to react and slow once he decided to move. Bosa has no future as an NFL Scout, i guess?
The year after he was drafted, we changed our defensive scheme, which I think hurt him as he was never going to be an MLB in a 4-3. He could not catch on with the Colts or Seahawks either, also both 4-3 teams at the time.
To me, it is strange that he never could get picked up by a base 3-4 team as a two down ILB.
Sometimes the tools do not translate to the NFL field for whatever reason. Still, I would rather take players with the tools than good college players that lack the tools as a general rule.

We shall see moving forward.
Guyton and Johnson UDFAs both had a year of growth on practice squad roster to learn NFL. Neither of them got snaps their first year, i dont think. This is the likely year to see if Reed has “it” or not“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

Indeed. If he can learn to run crisp routes with discipline, he has other tools. Its pretty normal for rookie WRs not Top 20 to not be ready for the NFL level. The reason they are not Top 20 is they have these flaws that need to be fixed.

I was more surprised that they didn’t design plays to get the ball in his hands though. He is dynamic there.
I still have high hopes for Joe but I’ve been wrong more than a few times about prospects.My 2021 Adopt-A-Bolt List

I only know Palmer from watching his highlights. His routes do look good to me. But what bothers me is that in spite of the routes he doesn’t separate much. So his ball skliis are pretty necessary.
TGLike, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.
