Jaguars pick up UDFA WR Armon Binns.. and a punter.

by Alfie Crow on Jul 26, 2011 10:26 AM EDT in 2011 Jaguars Free Agency

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven't slowed down their UDFA pick ups now that they can officially begin negotiating with unrestricted free agents. According to sources, the Jaguars have reached an agreement with Cincinatti wide receiver Armon Binns.

Binns has good size for the receiver position at 6'3 and about 210 pounds. He's not overtly fast, but he is very fluid catching the football and knows how to use his body to make catches. He has very good ball skills, knowing how to time his jumps and go up for the football. He was very productive for the Bearcats, being the less "flashy" of their wide receivers. He reminds me a bit of a faster Ernest Wilford, but better hands.

Hopefully Adam Stites and Armon's mom can make up.

The Jaguars also picked up former All-ACC punter from Virginia Tech, Brian Saunders. LOOK OUT ADAM PODLESH HE'S COMING FOR YOU.

Seriously though, team usually carry two punters in camp.

I think this is a great signing.

This kid is legit. He is going to be good. Nice job by Gene and the boys.

Cool. We are moving quickly today.

Anyone know where Kendrick Burney went, if anywhere?
Or Jeron Johnson?

Burney went to the Panthers and Johnson was already signed.

Go to the nfl rumors on espn and it says he signed with someone but i forgot.

I called that on draft day

I knew Coughlin would go for him one way or the other.

by Joe Fisher on Jul 26, 2011 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions

I think Binns, Lutrus, and Schiechl have the best chanes to make this team

by Dwalk1217 on Jul 26, 2011 10:49 AM EDT reply actions

I think Binns is a lock to make it.

i definitely think a Cinci receiver can beat out a Rutgers receiver haha

If he performs well, he has the size and hands to at least get in on 3 and 4 WR sets.

by Dwalk1217 on Jul 26, 2011 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions

perhaps a Rice receiver too

I really want Dillard to make his move this year. I think Sims Walker was a shot across the bow that the team will not hold onto a guy who can’t stay on the field.

by Joe Fisher on Jul 26, 2011 10:54 AM EDT up reply actions

I think if he gets on the field and stays healthy he will play well

I think the best attribute receivers can have is catching the ball with their hands and not their bodies and Dillard is exceptional at that. He just doesnt drop the ball

Can't help the club...

Dillard BETTER make his move this year...

what does he have – 6 catches in 2 years? I hope he proves me wrong, but I have no faith in Dillard.

me neither

He needs to prove he’s worthy of a wr spot

Is it finally time to draft a QB?

highlight reel for a punter just sounds hilarious

by Dwalk1217 on Jul 26, 2011 11:05 AM EDT up reply actions

A punter's highlight reel?

I’m not watching it. I still got pride!

Does it have a snazzy song?
How about intertitles and added graphics?

What could of happened; did.

haha

actually it is more likely his own made video for sending to teams to build interest. It is as boring as you could think it would be

by hokiewolf on Jul 26, 2011 11:17 AM EDT up reply actions

I clicked it just to be sure...

It actually is a punter’s highlight reel. My mind is blown.

He seems like a not bad punter

he aims the ball to land right before the goal line and, it does. And usually it quickly stop rolling before going into the endzone.

Different ball in the NFL

trust me, it makes a HUGE difference.

by Joe Fisher on Jul 26, 2011 2:19 PM EDT up reply actions

not much in my opinion.

just has more pressure, but he has better blockers as well. so the better punt blockers are limited. He just has to snap, kick, and make sure, it doesn’t get returned. Equipment though will make a difference.

Why are you so sure thats not an NFL ball?

I’m sure he knows there is a difference.

do they use NFL balls in college?

yea but him telling me he should be a 6th or 7th round pick means nothing.

by FgallosJAGS on Jul 26, 2011 11:58 AM EDT up reply actions

I am no great scout....

but from that video, it sounds like a developmental or practice squad guy to start out. I guess the big body and strength can overcome the inability to get separation. I am sure the Jags (who know much more than me) see something in him, and have been watching him if they moved on him this fast.
