Allen Robinson & Hurns

#21

Quote:Does Marqise Lee still exist?
He's been banged up quite a bit and as odd as it sounds for a receiver- I think his poor blocking is keeping him off the field some too.  I've seen him totally whiff on two screen plays recently.  The most recent ended up with Shorts being stopped for loss on the pseudo-bubble screen.  

 

Factor in Shorts being available and Hurns/Robinson playing well, and there just aren't many opportunities.  This team doesn't really have the protection to run many 4 receiver sets. (< though that's debatable)  I'd like to see them do it more. And I think they could

Quote:I agree Hurricane. Martavis Bryant should be on that list. He's basically been playing 3 weeks, and he already has 5 TDs. If he and Big Ben keep this potent passing attack going, I think he will win ROY. Of course if Hurns and BB start doing well together, who knows?


If he was top 10 in yards he would be on the list, statistically he's not in the top 10 rookie wide receivers therefore he's not on the list, simples Smile

Under the Radar: Allen Hurns, WR


<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">It appears that the Jaguars hit on two rookie receivers in Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns. Both are off to an outstanding start to the season and play a large role in what they do offensively scheme-wise.


<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Robinson was a second-round selection out of Penn State and was more widely thought of than, Hurns who played his college ball at Miami and was signed as a college free agent after the draft.


<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">What jumps out to me off the tape about Hurns is his size. He is just a tick over 6-1 in height and looks thinly built, but he is a solid 198 pounds. To go along with his frame, he has long arms and this helps him go get the ball. Receivers coach Jerry Sullivan has done a really nice job of working with him as a route runner, as well. You will see him line up on the outside, but he will also take some snaps out of the slot. Usually for tall guys, you will not see them handle many of those snaps, because it takes them time to get going.


<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Hurns didn’t have the best 40 time coming out of Miami at 4.54. He also didn't have a short shuttle that would have led you to believe he is quick, but on tape he shows both. What I really like about his game is his ability to get down the field and make plays. Of all the Jaguars receivers, he is the one that has the biggest upside when it comes to making those chunk plays. If you just take a look at his numbers this season he has made catches of 63, 46, 44 and 40 yards. Last week against the Bengals was a breakout game for him, which leads me to believe he will continue to get more opportunities because he has taken advantage of the ones he has received so far.

This thread makes me so happy.  It's been so so sooo long since WR was a bright spot on this team!

I saw that play also, he looked completely lost on that block haha. Hurns wasn't really that hot either.

It would be cool of Justin Blackmon got in the mix with the WRs.  Perhaps a post-season party over at JBs house would be a great idea.
