Jaguars' WR Video: MUST SEE TV!

I was able to locate some video of the Jaguar's new WR's Jarrett Dillard and Mike Thomas. They each have great and unique skill sets which differentiate them from one another. One is a superb route runner, the other is a shifty speedster, and I would expect both to make the final roster.


This is a must watch video that highlights the literally astonishing route running of Jarrett Dillard, whom the Jags snagged in the 5th. I am really impressed a rookie can sink his hips that much. Speed won't be an issue, and I look for Dillard to compete immediately with those skills. He's got amazing hips, which are one of the most important aspects of a WR's game, second only to hands. Our WR corp got a huge upgrade in this year's draft, none of our first rounders even had this ability after years of playing experience. This kid comes up out of college and makes thelast 3 years of WR's look like trash.

Here's the video on Jaguars' fourth round pick Mike Thomas that I found


It becomes clear why the Jaguars picked Thomas from the video. His breakneck neck quickness and body control. The kid can accelerate to top speed and stop on a dime like nothing. That gives him a great advantage in punt and kick returns. Good hands, great speed, and excellent explosion are the highlights of Thomas' game. Look for him to return some kicks and play some slot receiver this season.

Hey man, could you readjust the videos

They’re bleeding over to the side and I can’t see any of the fanposts

As for the receivers

For now, I think Dillard is the better “pure” WR of the two. Thomas is going to see most of his time returning or being a Brian Westbrook type.

I Don't Know

I still think I’m higher on Thomas. He may be able to get on the field earlier, but I agree that Dillard probably runs better routes.

Yeah that worked.

As for the videos, at the right of the embed link on youtube you’ll see something that look like a *, click that and at the bottom will be a couple different resolutions. The Scouting Report vids I posted were at 480×295.

The new WR's

have me more excited than anything this year. Not so much that I think everyone is a star, but I was getting really tired of hearing the same old line “Everyone’s going to compete for their job” and Matt and Reggie end up staying in. This year, I think, they really are competing, which should make for a better squad.

Keep Your Expectations Low Bro

It would really surprise me if either of them gets over 35-40 catches.

They were 1st round picks, and sadly, that gives them a leg up like it or not

Plus, it wasn’t like we had the greatest WR corps in the league. JDR is true when he says anyone can make the team. Every year it seems a couple UDFA’s make the squad.

Nader Abdallah won't even get a chance.

He was waived today without ever getting a chance to participate in OTA’s. That’s what happens when you can’t participate due to some NCAA crap…

He had promise, oh well. We’ll see if he is brought back closer to the school’s graduation.

He was really low on the chart

He was a lesser version of what George Hypolite is, and he’s going to struggle with getting on the team. There is no reason to waste Abdallah’s or the team’s time.

Darn me and my pronouns

Hypolite is going to struggle with getting on the team.

All these new WR's

have me excited. With Holt and I hope Wl=alker leading the way these guys casn come in and make a big contribution. Plus with the new and improved O-Line blocking for Garrard I expect these guy’s numbers to be pretty solid. The offense is gonna role this year. Too bad the D will be the death of us.

Off topic

I read Paul Kuharsky’s story about twitter accounts, and he mentions Groves account and lists his twitter screen name as quentingroves54. But I can’t seem to find him on there.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is anyone else following him?
