The good news is no matter what wide receivers you draft this year... they’re all going to be top 24.

Obviously this has a fantasy football bent to it, but I've been thinking about this tweet the last few days. Are our WRs actually doing really well, or are we just being manipulated by cherry picked tweets and videos that obviously want to drum up hype and get us pumped for the team and this season? Sure seems like there are glowing reports across the league about how every offense is taking steps forward, and we just know that isn't going to be the case. The QB aggregate numbers that some people have been posting after practices haven't been all that great either, so I think I'm going to rein in the offensive excitement a little.

I think we're ultimately going to be in a lot more low scoring slugfests where we're praying the defense bails out a struggling offense with a touchdown or big turnover. Plenty of it because of coaching philosophies obviously, but a lot of it also because I think we're starting to get a little to rosy when it comes to our perception of the leap forward we're expecting for our WR corps and Bortles.

Man...I thought I was a cynical bastard!  LOL!  I would have to say while your theory may be possible...

1.  In practice, even the best CBs get beat every once in a while by guys who see them every day.

2.  The receivers have to be good enough to beat them. 

3.  A lot of the bloggers and media types have no reason to prop up the receivers.  I don't fall into either category, and I have no reason to prop them up.  As I said, these were just my impressions after one week.  I indicated in a subsequent post in this thread, we will get a better idea how far the offense has come along after the game against New Orleans and the practices and game against Minnesota.  Both of those teams have good defenses and good secondaries.

You mean from Ngakoue?

If so, I don't believe it to be a spin move.

I think it's kind of like a swim move designed to get the blocker off balance coming forward.  Hold a sec and I will try to find it from the twitter thread and post a link here.

But Ngakoue used it on Parnell.  If you see any clips where Ngakoue puts Parnell on his face, I believe that's the move.  It's like a two handed swim move.

Edit...Here ya go.  #51
