The stats say he doesn't have an issue with his hands but one could argue that a lot of his catches were of the shorter variety.

 

I mean... I don't really have an issue with a WR turning a 5 yard catch into a 60 yard TD, that type of explosiveness is much needed in our passing game.

Been watching film on him. He really needs to work on his blocking. Not good when trying to help out the run game. 

 

I'm not sure Parris Campbell was drafted for his blocking prowess, or that he will be used in any package that isn't either A) Designed for him B) 3 or more WR or C) An obvious passing situation. I see no reason to have Campbell on the field in any running situation, at least early on. It's like saying Q Nelson needs to work on his receiving, because he could be eligible one day. Most speedster WRs aren't blockers.

Go and watch his film. Even on screen plays which he’ll be asked to block for. He isn’t a willing block. He actually gave up on a block which resulted in negative yards. I’m not saying everything else isn’t there. However in the NFL doesn’t matter how fast or whatever you’re going to notion. You have to block. Even Ty Hilton blocks.

There will come a time when he is going to have to block. He will be required to block for TY, Ebron, Funchess or anyone else depending on the play.

I'm not going to make an issue out it because I think the coaches will teach him. With his size and speed he shouldn't have a problem learning.

Why would Parris Campbell be on the field during a screen play that wasn't designed for him?

I think it's a non factor at this point. Obviously at some point you probably want him to start blocking so that he can stay on the field, but he's a situational guy at this point. Most plays he's gonna be on the field for will either be designed specifically for him, or he'll be a decoy. He won't be on the field in the traditional 2 TE/2 WR stuff (TY and Funchess), just 3 wide or designed plays really.

Because maybe we don’t want to be too predictable.   Maybe he’ll be there to be a decoy.

 

We don’t want opposing defenses to know that when Parris is on the field we only do A, B or C...   but never D, E or F.

Running Back screens. There is no way you can honestly sit here and say he’ll never be asked to block during his NFL career. I’m not saying his play making abilities aren’t there. I just see a weakness to his game. He will have to work on blocking.

Frank to Parris.  Now, Parris, that 80 yard TD run was real nice and all, but i need you to block on this next play or the locker room is gonna think you’re special ( whisper...which you are) .so .just get in front of him... You don’t even have to touch him.

he needs to work on route tree as much or more than blocking. 

he's a true project in both those areas. 

that said, he's a special talent in all the things he already knows how to do.

very high ceiling, and i'm not that concerned about his willingness or ability to work hard and learn the other things.

He'll have to block at some point. Maybe our WR corp is hit with injuries. Maybe he's a decoy. Maybe T.Y. catches a slant and Campbell is upfield so he has to block a DB while T.Y. takes it to the house.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By Goatface Killah · Posted

      He isnt Christian McCafferey, but when he has the ball in the open field he is very dangerous.   What happened Sunday was Taylor missed a block and dropped a pass and Shane tricked himself into thinking it was a good idea to take his best player out, despite the fact he was playing very well and use 2 guys who I have literally never seen make a single play that has impressed me, ever.    They should have to earn the right to be in the game in the 4th quarter by making plays when they get opportunities earlier in the game. They arent doing that and are just being handed the keys without earning it.    Honestly I feel like Shane should be taking more heat than he is. He did this exact thing in the Texans game last year. Taylor was destroying them and he took him out and put in Goodson.   It made no sense then and it made no sense last week.

      Interesting perspective you offer….  Considering a number of posters believe all Ballard says every year is “my bad”.    Doesn’t that mean he’s admitting he’s wrong?

      That would require Chris Ballard to essentially admit he was wrong.  I honestly think he has too much pride for that.

      None of it makes sense. Goodson has like 7 catches for no yards, so calling him a pass catching back is crazy.   What he is, is a 3rd string RB who isnt very good.   No way he should play over Taylor in any situation.
