MartyBall4Buffalo Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Sweed is not the least bit physical. Thanks. no thank you
Chilly Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Sweed is not the least bit physical. Thanks. No wonder why you're coaching on Tuesdays.
Coach Tuesday Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 No wonder why you're coaching on Tuesdays. Um - care to argue the point? Because I do not see Sweed using his body and strength to make catches in traffic. I don't see him breaking tackles, either. And, I don't see him getting out of jams too easily.

But...He definitely showed that he knew how to use his size and hands to make tough catches. He is big and he is physical. He's not a speedster and I noticed that his YAC was unimpressive in most of what I could find on him. There were only a few plays where he made the catch, beat the defender(s) and broke one long but he was always reliable when it came to making a tough catch and he showed some decent ability to sneak past the coverage and get open deep. To me he looks like a great possession receiver who might be a perfect compliment to Lee Evans.

He also does a good job using his body and his stiff arm to get separation from coverage.

Chilly Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 I haven't seen it. I've seen him sidestepping and getting behind coverage, but not beating jams consistently. I remembered that I thought the nfl.com analysis of him was the most correct from watching him play 4 years at UT, and this is what it says: Needs to figure out how to beat the jam with other moves, but can overpower a smaller defender Likes to overpower defenders after the catch, but does have nifty moves to elude (just doesn't use them often)...Strong runner, especially when he catches the ball in front of the defender. while he has a good reach he spends too much time trying to overpower press coverage defenders rather than trying to slip past and avoid is more apt to break arm tackles rather than elude the defender in the open
