We've all asked him to be more aggressive and hopefully that aggression comes in the form of tossing up some 50/50 type balls up to Davis. I mean, his career is literally on the line so if he still doesn't take chances then he just doesn't have that dog in him and I'd be glad to see him walk. big2033, IsntLifeFunny, and JMoney420 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way everyone's talking about Davis I don't want to see his talent wasted. Then again, eventually Hopkins talent was too great to deny regardless of QB play.

Yeah it's funny because on paper, I agree that Davis is more physically talented than Hopkins (bigger, faster, etc) but so are a lot of receivers. On the field, I don't know that Davis is as physical or aggressive at the catch point. As you said, Hopkins has shown he can produce regardless. I think Corey is going to need a little help from Mariota. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by help you mean someone who will throw him the ball, then you're right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's precisely Hopkins's ability to succeed at a ridiculous rate in contested catch situations that helps him be productive regardless of how "open" he is or how well his QB can throw him open. Because of that, this separation stat is a bad barometer of success in this case. If Corey was as good as D-Hop in this area he'd already be dominating. Mind you this is no knock on Corey as no other receiver in the league is as good as him either and only Larry Fitzgerald has been as dominant from a possession stand-point in recent years. begooode 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Dongo, all alone in his retarded opinion about CD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieTitanFan08 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Two things i'm curious in seeing tomorrow is which 5 guys get the majority of reps with the starting OL. And then the order at WR, do they start training camp the way they finished the offseason program Davis Humphries Sharpe Taylor Brown Batson Jennings.

Seriously? there's basically 3 WR who have the brains/skill to be #1's right now... hopkins, hilton, and davis. his bigger/faster/stronger than hopkins... hilton is a burner and quicker... but i could see how for typical #1 WR, someone would think he possesses the best physical ability. No way is he better than those two yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
