Good analysis on Wims

Interesting read.

PFF Analytics: Javon Wims is a deep field threat

 

[richig07]

Wims has some upside, no doubt. I don't expect much from his rookie season, but after some polishing - perhaps he can contribute in year #2. Hopefully he can play SPT's.

As one writer said, he better know how to tackle & block because he's going to spend a lot of time on ST.

Yeah, I edited that into my post, but not fast enough apparently. Perhaps he can win the gunner job on punt coverage? We'll see.

We need SPT's players to step up. That unit has been a mess ever since Toub departed.

I'm hoping he can grow into a 2 wr by next year. We just don't have a 2 at all right now. No I don't count White at all.

Miller and Gabriel will make quality 2 and slot receivers on this team.

Agreed. And if we get anything positive from White this year, I'll consider it an act of God, which is saying something being that I'm an agnostic.

Wims is good possession receiver. Back shoulder and sideline grabs were his specialty in college.

He's raw, but he's a talent. I hated that I only got to see one full year of him at UGA. He was Jake Fromm's favorite target.

You almost gotta be a Bears fan now, bruh.

I'll pull for the Damn Good Dawgs like I do on every team.

Roquan will be a stud. Best playmaker linebacker Georgia has had since David Pollack(who is a fag now BTW)

 

[Chewbaccer]

And another thing on Wims.

Like I said, he's very raw, but I can promise you he will put the work in. If he doesn't pan out, it won't be for lack of effort.

Miller will be a good slot WR and maybe a 2 one day. I really don't care for Gabriel at all.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

I have to agree that I'm not completely sold on Gabriel, but I'm confident that Miller will fill that role quite easily.

Gabriel is a monster. A dream gadget guy. Extremely productive with limited snaps.

Him and Cohen.

Not sold myself, we needed a 3 down WR not a gadget. We already have Cohen/Burton as gadgets. His production is based off teams not worried about him with weapons all around him. Ya I'm not sold on him or Burton. I like Burton but not at 8 mil per season. I'm a huge Shaheen fan and I know Burton won't take his snaps away but he will take receptions away. I'm excited to see how Burton plays and not a hater, but we paid too much IMO. Still I expect him (Burton) to be fun to watch and I am rooting for him.

We also acquired multiple 3 down WR's

Burton? A gadget? What? He's a TE.

I don't even know what this means. Are you under the impression that Gabriel will be the sole focus of defense's? The only great skill player in ATL was Julio. We acquired AR, who will eat the attention of most DB's. ATL has two good RB's... so do we. We also have far better TE's in the passing game.

If there’s a gadget TE this year, it’s your boy Shaheen. Burton will get most snaps. Nagy likes offensive mismatches.

I think Nagy is going to have his base offensive skill players that he’s going to play every down possible. That’ll consist of Robinson, Burton, maybe Miller, and then howard except for certain situations. After those 3 or 4, Nagy is going to use Cohen, Shaheen, and Gabriel to fill in those last 1 to 2 positions to create mismatches. Those 3 players create unique mismatches that can be used to throw to directly or create a better mismatch somewhere else on the field.

You know I'm not so sure about Shaheen being a gadget TE. While his blocking could stand improvement, he was actually fairly dependable last year on plays requiring him for such duties. The question is will he supplant Sims as the primary or 'Y' TE. If not and he plays the tweener role of both the 'Y' and 'U' spots, then he may indeed be labeled as the gadget TE. There's no doubt tho he will have to up his game this year. I'm pulling for him to do just that.

Burton is a gadget player or the worlds smallest TE. Either way Shaheen is our TE. I don't get the love of Burton as there is nothing to base it on. Undrafted and third string. Not strong enough to play as a inline TE, not fast enough to be a starting WR. He is a tweener gimmick in every sense of the word. And overpaid as bad as Glennon was. I'm rooting for him but I'll save the love until he does something/anything in this league. I just hope he does not stunt the growth of our real TE.
