Popular Post Bongo59 Posted September 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Barber who works for the Bucs and the calls games mentioned today on radio that OJ Howard has been very slow to pick up the offense and he has been a total non factor in their Offensive planning. Barber says the coaches and team are surprised because they felt that he could run the seems for the offense but it has not manifest. Barber said OJ showed he could do it at ALA but he is struggling big time. He also mentioned that OJ has not blocked well at all in camp or in games on tape. He mentioned OJ has only been targeted 4 times in two games. So it looks like Jonnu is the Anti OJ because he is making plays and been actively targeted in scoring zones and clearly is no liability in the run game. Looks like Barber is confirming that Jonnu > OJ at this point and considering where both played it shows you scouting matters. I was a pre draft OJ fan and did not expect him to stuggle in the NFL but Barber does not see him making a splash this year according to what he said to Pat Kirwan today. mmmmmbeeer, Titansgoodluckcharm, Stan17, and 11 others 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansfb Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Bucs offense is more complicated. OJ has an actual offense to learn. Jonnu blocks and participates in trick plays. reo, mmmmmbeeer, efus50, and 4 others 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Titanstattoo25 Posted September 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I 100% wanted Howard at 18 and was shocked he wasn’t the pick. Boy am I glad I was wrong. Adoree looks like a top 10 pick and Smith is planning like a 1st round pick. Thats why I don’t stress the draft anymore. No matter what happens or who we do/don’t pick jRob knows what he’s doing and has earned the trust. reo, OILERMAN, scine09, and 6 others 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

socaltitan Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 It kinda makes you wonder if OJ is one of those guys who looks great in shorts, but when the lights come on, doesn't really produce. He was mostly drafted on potential, not production. There may have been reasons why his production wasn't that good, but it makes you wonder a little bit. Looking at the Bucs forum, there are some wondering if they should've drafted Dalvin Cook instead. FIU has quietly produced some pretty good talent. TY Hilton played there. I think Brandon Marshall did too. Bongo59 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercalius Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 TE is one of the harder positions to play in the league. Having a former TE as a head coach, and a clone skill-wise like Walker as a mentor has probably helped Smith's transition. I'm very impressed by his play thus far, but three games in no way foreshadows a career (for Smith or Howard), especially for rookie tight ends. chef, Justafan, titansfb, and 1 other 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw the scouting department that sniffed out Jonnu Smith is the same one who helped convince JRob to draft Davis at 5. And considering where both Davis and Jamal Adams played it goes to show you scouting matters. WG53 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's healthy he's a stud. In that film breakdown they showed him blocking the Seattle DE 1 on 1. I've watched him start pancaking defenders. He's got soft hands and runs like a WR, yet can straight up block DEs from Seattle? He's the San Fran version of Delanie (we are literally using him exactly like they did). And when Walker retires he moves over to his spot. mmmmmbeeer 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
