You don’t get it, and you can’t possibly get it unless you were a Bills fan growing up. /thread

I don't think it was a slam dunk tbh. You're right that in older/most technical core football terms that "Y" would be a guy lined opposite the other tackle from the "X", exactly on the line of scrimmage; while I'm right that modern day terms there are more practical and less technical uses for X, Y, and Z. And while 4wr/5wr teams like Kingsbury's offense can have multiple of each on the same play.
i still think your player comps have largely been dog , and you were completely wrong on the X/Z thing. the Y is admittedly technical and somewhat pedantic but i was on a roll
who would you compare jeudy and ruggs to, tbh?
Roberto Clemente and Sean Elliott
Cooper/Ridley for Jeudy
Santana Moss for Ruggs
there is a huge talent gap between Cooper and Ridley, but I like the Moss comparison tbh.
well they're player comps, not necessarily talent comps. that said you usually use notable players in comps because there is some projection involved
jeudy shows great route running but he's not an explosive athlete, not great catching through contact. not particularly good at going up and getting a contested deep ball.
the raiders are hoping Ruggs becomes their Tyreek, but Tyreek is so unique that it's an unfair and difficult projection to make.
Desean Jackson is the OG Tyreek... not sure if there is another one... maybe if Deion Sanders had played offense, but he didn't. Rocket Ismail was that guy for the Cowboys for about a 2 year period in the late 90s before he got hurt and completely fell off the map.
I think Ruggs might be better off as a slot receiver than a deep threat, I wasn't super impressed by his deep catching ability in college despite his speed.
Djax has been the most consistent of this generation. the real OG if you want to get historical is Don Hutson. more contemporary, Cliff Branch in the 70s. steve smith sr is another great one but he was much more all-around.
there have been other deep threats/speed specialists in recent years, just not as consistent or prolific as D-Jax. Guys like Donte Stallworth, Ashlie Lelei... going back farther the cowboys had Bob Hayes. even in todays game you have guys like Cooks, Hollywood Brown, Will Fuller
the raiders dont sound like they plan to use Ruggs as just a deep guy, that's not even what he did at Alabama. like i said during the draft, i dont think Ruggs is remotely a Day 1 WR1 type, and it will be up to whichever team drafts him to scheme him properly and get the most use out of it. Gruden has to make it work
Yep. Gruden should go WCO with Renfrow and Ruggs on opposite slots and Williams and another bigger guy on the boundaries. Would work great with Carr and make the box / defenses smaller for Jacobs as well. No messing with archaic FB/2TE formation
He had a solid season. Wish they would have stuck with the 3rd and 4th stringer though in order to tank and get a higher draft pick, tbh. 10th isn't bad for 6-10 though.
Mark Celibate do you think Dalton should be brought back, tbh? If so, at what price?
Cowboys considering Mitch Trubisky as the backup for 2021?
Will Dalton be QB1 on the Cowboys in 2021, Mark Celibate Chris ?
Prescott going to the Niners or Saints IMO
2017 was nothing and they had no hope with Tyrod ing Taylor as the qb.
This year on the other hand... What a future.
ive been telling you for years, the cowboys are going to pay dak
