nedboy7 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I dont think Worthy is going to last too long. Keon is built solid and has a good attitude. He should be a great #2 WR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 This was the knock on him coming out. Long way to go but I think his ceiling might be automatically capped by his size. Still a scary player in that offense though. 2 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Crappy WRs , turnover machine QB, and yet the chiefs are are 6-0. What could be the difference? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably a role for him as a gadget guy and kick returner but yeah that's pretty damning. Coleman has his physical limits too. He's never going to shave 0.2s off his 40 time and probably will never have breakaway speed. But I've said for a while before the season started that the body control, size and strength Keon already has can be upgraded with refined route running as he gets experience (and he now has Amari Cooper to mentor) 13 minutes ago, Chaos said: Crappy WRs , turnover machine QB, and yet the chiefs are are 6-0.

Still a scary player in that offense though. Every game scares me. Every play with him scares me. I don’t know what his body of work will look like, but he’s a threat every play if he’s on the field and you don’t get hands on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs offense is struggling now for two straight seasons which is coached by the walrus. Their defense has been great the last two seasons coached by Spags. If the defense is doing the heavy lifting, who would you give credit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve felt like a 5-1 team that caught a few very lucky breaks to me this year not that that’s not a plenty impressive record in its own right 🤣 Reid definitely sold his soul to the devil after his time with the eagles haha.

Asks Google, is 40 degrees cold enough to shatter Xavier Worthy? Refuses to answer and talks about his combine time. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one last year he was like 3 or 4 yards from the sideline and still didn't get both feet in. The issue wasn't that he "couldn't" it was he did not have good positional awareness or focus at times. And Keon already has a more expansive route tree and runs them better IMO than Davis thanks to how much more athletic and twitchy Keon is compared to Davis who tends to round off his routes. Keon has a lot still to learn of course, but I just don't think they are similar at all as players outside some low hanging fruit stuff like neither having great straight line speed, both having good size. Their skill sets are quite different. 2 things Davis has on Keon right now is blocking (but Keon isn't far behind, was known as the best blocker of the WR class this year too) and improvising when Allen is scrambling...both things that are more a reflection of Keon being a rookie and still developing and learning in those areas. Now in terms of role, if you want to say similar to Davis in terms he isn't a focal point yet in the offense, then sure I can see why you would say that. But I think this comparison by many people keeps getting thrown around for the wrong reasons with Keon and Davis as they really are not that similar of a player on the field. I do agree about Brandon Marshall, in fact, I said if Keon can reach his potential then he could be a blend of Hopkins and Marshall (not saying he is now, saying if he reached his potential). Neither of those guys were straight line fast, but they learned the nuances that create the separation to be consistently dangerous WR's and used their ball skills. size, and body control down field even when the separation wasn't there as the prototypical "open even when not open" type WR's. Funny enough, Keons pro day 40 time was faster than both those guys, Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, etc. What will determine Keon's long term success as a top tier WR will be how well he can develop his game off the line and the nuances and sudden movements to create the separation consistently. He is already good on certain routes like a hook or comeback route and the slant. The good news on Keon is he has the athletic ability to get there potentially where as Gabe never had the athletic ability to be much more than what he is now. I always found Knox odd because he made a lot of tough catches but then would drop the most easiest routine catch and he did that a lot. I felt the same with Davis... He made some ridiculous side line toe taps but then couldnt get his feet in bounds a mile from the sideline lol. 4 hours ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: There's probably a role for him as a gadget guy and kick returner but yeah that's pretty damning.

I put it in the new game week thread. On that Coleman 50 yard play or however many yards it was, Josh was like "come on bro I almost caught up to you from where I threw the ball."

It's always been a misconception that Reid is some all-time great offensive genius. He won with defense in Philly. He came to KC and initially turned them back around and won with defense and even had a season where his team didn't throw a TD pass to a WR all year. His offense were almost always only as good as the QB and weapons it had. I mean Chip Kelly took over for him and the Eagles got an immediate big system bump offensively. Reid was always a very solid regular season HC with serious game/clock management issues and he just hung around long enough that he had both a Donovan McNabb to help him get to and lose big playoff games(usually at home) and then he finally lucked into a GOAT type in Mahomes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I do think he’s a great offensive mind but the clock management thing and people completely ignoring his decades with the eagles is absolutely spot on. The guy was a game management disaster and always getting dunked on by his own fans and really anyone 🤣. All this talk that he is some wide receiver whisperer and never misses on draft picks kind of gets me too…he’s overseen/coached some absolute head scratcher picks over the years Belichick calling Freddie Mitchell ‘terrible and you can print that’ in the lead up to that pats eagles Super Bowl was one of my favorite things ever haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the Air Coryell Chargers offensive coordinator in the late 1970's and turned Dan Fouts from a dud into an All Pro and then won 3 SB's with 3 different QB's with the Redskins. None of them HOF'ers. He probably could have won a SB with Jay Schroeder too if he could have stayed healthy. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
