DeVonta Smith

Stan in LA : 11/28/2021 6:09 pm
Was invisible today. Was not getting separation and does not look like any kind of difference maker.

Eagles should have taken Micah Parsons.

We should have too.
I think Cowboys and Giants  
Ben in Tampa : 11/28/2021 6:10 pm : link
Are both happy it worked out like it did
Doesn't he have over 600 yards this year, with a non throwing QB?  
Tom in NY : 11/28/2021 6:13 pm : link
I mean they are running the ball 70% of the time, and as we all saw today Hurts seem to be all over the place with his passes.

I didn't necessarily want Smith, thought he was too slight of frame, but he's not been injured yet and would probably do very well with a different QB.
Intercepty McFuckwit certainly didn't help

Was Stan at the game,  
Section331 : 11/28/2021 6:21 pm : link
or did he somehow get access to all-22 tape? How the hell would he know how much separation Smith was getting?

Stan up to his usual trolling. He has no idea what he is talking about.

I didn't want Smith either for the same reasons. But he could do well on a better team. What I'm really interested in seeing is Olave in the NFL. I think he's a better version of Smith.
He is a rookie

With a shit QB. I fear we will have to deal with him for a long long time

Oh, he was wide open all game. Idiot QB simply refused to throw to him.
He's on pace for roughly 70catches/1000 yards  
SLIM_ : 11/28/2021 6:46 pm : link
not bad for a rookie but probably not what people were expecting. I haven't seen much of the Eagles but he doesn't seem like he has established himself as the go to guy.

From a mtach standpoint, I didn't see him as a good fit with Hurts. Smith's greatest asset is exceptional route running if you can get him off the press. Hurts is not a precision passer.

Good thread

not....
He’s good but doesn’t have the frame to be  
UConn4523 : 11/28/2021 7:00 pm : link
a #1 stud WR. And yeah, hurts isn’t a pocket passer but his mobility allows Smith and the rest of the WRs to get open.
I love how when talking about opposing players  
mfsd : 11/28/2021 7:03 pm : link
it’s fair game to make excuses for them about how their teammates might suck.

But don’t anyone dare suggest lack of talent up front has anything to do with Jones and Saquons struggles
He looks like a great player  
The Jake : 11/28/2021 7:07 pm : link
despite a bad game today. We’re lucky Hurts was so erratic all game.

Bottom line, of Smith, Parsons and Toney we got the worst of the three - by far - and it wasn’t because of circumstance. It was our own ineptitude.

And their running game has teams putting in 7 or 8 guys in box so Smith is getting a lot of one on one opportunities with little safety help, so for what the running game takes away in total opportunities it does give him more quality opportunities. He is going to be a nice receiver in the league. Not sure he is going to be an elite receiver.

This. The stupid narrative they LBs can't be taken High or in RD 1 gets disproved over and over.
Devonta Smith was wide open on last play of game and Hurts didn't look  
MartyNJ1969 : 11/29/2021 10:58 am : link
blown coverage
Smith continues to tear up the League!  
Stan in LA : 12/5/2021 5:17 pm : link
2 catches for 15 yards today.

Hide the women and the children.
Sure it might  
pjcas18 : 12/5/2021 5:21 pm : link
be a tallest midget contest, but Smith would be the Giants leader in catches, yards (almost double the next closest NY Giant pass catcher), and TD's (double the Giants closest person) with his seasonal numbers

funny thing about the jets game today was..  
BillKo : 12/5/2021 5:24 pm : link
..you know the Eagles have two options, esp w/ Hurts out.

Their TE and Smith.

Even the Giants recognized it last week and shut down those two.

Godert was singled up and let to roam free, and caught two big passes for TDs (one slightly underthrown, one def underthrown).

What were the Jets thinking?
