Agreed, but I see all that as bad coaching. Admittedly you expect a S prospect out of college to be coached up in the basics of tackling and reading the field, but I see a guy who's fired up to go and make plays with his speed and ability to hit and hasn't been coached to bring technique and brains to the party and measure his play to what the opposition is doing.

i.e. Where he's out of position on that TD run, he should be coached up to read the OL at the snap, and check his movement so he doesn't get out of position. It looks like C1 Robber, so he has no need to drift across with the motion as the SS is dropping into the hole and will pick up the motion man if he turns upfield. He therefore has deep midfield coverage and run fit responsibility to his side. But he keeps moving even though there's no likely deep middle threat at the snap and that puts him out of position. With both guards firing out his first read there should be run, so plant and come downfield to the LOS and find the RB. Once he's out of position its too late.

Now if he sat down with the WFT coaches and they asked him what he did wrong there, if he said something along those lines, I'd say he's eminently coachable and his raw talent means he has real potential. If he can't see and correct those behaviours then he won't last long. Right now he still looks better than Apke!

I'm with you that at least part of it is on coaching... But consistent tackling is part technique part instinct IMO. I want DBs that love wrapping people's ankles crocodile roll style.

Out of position is another deal, way more coachable IMO.

Listened to several post first practice interviews with the new draft class. While most of the questions/answers are fairly generic, but I was still impressed with the quality of answers, thoughtful and clearly expressed. If you want to watch a fun interview, watch Sammis Reyes interview.

Dyami Brown

Could be the steal of the draft. I know it’s early but I think we could have knocked it out the park again with 3rd round WR.

Watching him come out of breaks and his hands snatch it out the air…he never waits for the ball to get there, he goes and gets it.

Of course, the video in the Twitter feed go to 14 seconds

He's a stud. What a steal. Gladly would have taken Brown in the 2nd round.

B also,

Was really hoping for a LB and despite only 11 games I think that has to lend itself to the upside.

Remember guys like Joel Embiid who had only played a few years of bball and was projected 1 before his injury.

Re: Post draft breakdown
 

Cosmi was a hit, Jamin Davis has been NOWHERE near worth a top 20 pick.

Re: Post draft breakdown
 

Bates has shown he can play. He's got some nice potential I think.

I really think he’s been quietly good. He’s been a great blocker. He fills that TE2 role well.

Just hoping Logan returns healthy

Davis needs more seasoning. I think veteran presence is needed in that group and it’s NOT Bostic

Re: Post draft breakdown

Yeah it is a headscratcher choosing a first round project pick and then not having the field leadership to help scaffold the player. I think they thought RR and JDR would fill that niche.

Re: Post draft breakdown
 

It's too early to draw too many conclusions about J Davis. He has all the tools, and could still be a good player with some more experience. He barely played the first six games, and even with the state of that position group, there are only a few games since then that he was on the field for the majority of defensive snaps.

Can #WashingtonFootball fans give some love to John Bates?

1st in the NFL in @PFF Run Blocking Grade for TEs
12.8 Yards Per Reception (9th in the NFL for TEs)
13th most receiving yards among rookie WRs & TEs

Not bad for a day 3 rookie with limited college production.

It’s been a nice surprise, but you can really see the growth in his game since the beginning of the season.

Really hoping Logan Thomas can come back healthy cause those 2 TE sets could be nasty.

We have the pieces there just need that QB. It is amazing how important that franchise QB is. Saints won the division went 12-4 last year. You lose Brees and they are us.

I’m really hoping Samuel and Thomas can put these injuries behind them because look at rooster of skill positions it’s young but solid.

Starting outside receivers Terry and Cam Sims with Samuel in slot

Logan Thomas and Bates at TE

Brown, Dax, Reyes developing. And bring back RSJ vet TE for competition and to take out camera men

We just need competent QB play

Re: Post draft breakdown
 

Looks like they definitely hit right on Bates. Legitimate No. 2 TE with possible starting potential. That'll work where he was drafted.

Re: Post draft breakdown
 

Too early to give up on Jamin Davis - I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do next year on the outside and with a hopefully competent mike teaching and directing him where he needs to be.

Cosmi has been good - when he's on the field. Hoping for less injuries next year.

Dyami Brown needs more seasoning - plus I'd like to see what he does with a competent QB playing.

Bates has been the surprise of the rookie class, he was touted as a good blocker coming out of college but his hands have been a pleasant surprise. We might finally have a decent backup behind Logan Thomas for once.

Re: Post draft breakdown
 

Q - are we the only NFL team with every single '21 draft pick still on the roster? If we are, while it's not a ringing endorsement, it's certainly a positive.

Cosmi is going to be our starting left or right tackle for the next 10 years.

Brown was a project type WR for the NFL, given his college offense. I still think he's going to be a good one.

Re: Post draft breakdown
 

I can’t believe it took most of the season to figure out Davis would be better outside and that Collins would be a lot better as a hybrid DB/LB.. they never did fix the pass rush .. in fact Chase went backwards in production .. So as we give out grades let’s grade the Coaches .. JDR gets a D the only reason it’s not a F is injuries/covid ..

He gets a P from me.

I can't grade the man after all that happened. I doubt he ever had the same starting lineup two weeks in a row this year. The D played really well in some stretches, and the D played really bad in some stretches. Fix that LB unit, add a legit safety, and bring back that D-line and I think they will be fine.
