Time to get Adonai more involved

[danlhart87]

He has all the potential to be the best WR even above MPJ

Anthony just needs to get acclimated to AD’s speed. Once they gel more during the season look out.

They tried him and Richardson don’t have their timing down yet.  It’ll come.

 1st Mitchell has to run the right route, 2nd AR needs better pass pro, then he has to has to anticipate better.

 Manning was still throwing flutter balls and int's through year 5, and Luck couldn't lead a receiver (okay pokey Doyle) his 1st 3 years.

 At 19 throws a game AR could take 2-3 years to throw like Josh Allen Jr., if ever of course.

 Watching JT Sullivan's breakdown showed Mitchell open deep many times.

Sullivan was laughing hysterically at numerous great positives that we put on tape.

 Mitchell was doing in college what Pierce did Sunday, and Mitch did also on Sunday. AR missed it because Fries and Smith were getting knocked back so quick.

It was hilarious listening to Sullivan. Especially the Pierce bomb in cover 2 when it was 2 middle fingers because AR is going to (did) out throw the deep coverage. UNICORN stuff. Mitchell being faster than Pierce... oh it's coming.

 We will be putting up 50... one day soon.

So that huge missing the end zone was Mitchell‘s fault. Seriously it was a simple pitch and catch. But it was emailed that’s on Richardson.

 Or AR didn't plan to pump fake it but to throw it, but Mitchell changed his assignment so AR's quick reload and quick throw was a miss. It's okay, Pittman ran some lame routes today in year 5.

I'm surprised  about that considering  Mitchell  is one of our best route runners. Wonder how he clicked with Downs so fast

Downs is undoubtedly the best route runner we have , AD might be second.

Gotta make that lay-up.

He knew how to sit in zones in the lanes of the QB vision, fast. AR, in his combine, had weaknesses shown in sideline throw accuracies, for placement and timing, I felt.

 

However, his underneath throws in the middle of the field seemed better than the sideline throws. It was witnessed last year with Downs and Ogletree. 
 

Pre-season pick last year, sideline throw. Pre-season pick this year, outside the numbers towards the sidelines too. There are clearly selective areas he struggles with. One thing is for sure - bad things happen when he goes to Granson more often than not

The Texans didn't have a soul out there that could cover that man one on one for real. He would smoke all them. Stingley included!

Yeah, his short area separation burst, folks compared it pre-draft to CeeDee Lamb and I can definitely see that. I just hope Reggie or HC makes AR work with all wideouts on timing, comebacks etc. giving specific areas of WR (numbers, left shoulder, right shoulder, helmet level, knee level etc.) to improve chemistry, accuracy and timing after every practice. Getting WRs to know down and distance so that they don't run 9 yards on a 4th and 2 etc. - I am not sure if it is on the WR coach or HC, but I would think it falls on Reggie too.

Thats exactly what Lamar Jackson struggles with. Defenses learned to take away the middle of field and funnel everything outside. Hopefully AR gets better with it   

[JediXMan]

Mike Evans is probably the most underrated WR the past 7+ years. He’s super consistent every season.

[richard pallo]

In the game I watched he was definitely involved.  Richardson missed him a few times or he would have scored.  For a rookie start he did fine.  

[tweezy32]

Please let the gods take care of our WRs!! With Downs back, I can't see any defense stopping our pass game. If AR can get his short to medium passes down, our offense can be the best in the NFL.

Pay close attention to the play and we see AD look at the coverage and signal with his hands to AR. The corner was off with no safety help. AD is pretty much telling AR via the hand signal "we got us one". "I'm changing the route to a double move and going for 6". I think it was a bit of a miscommunication somewhere in there. Not sure if AR saw the hand signal.

[Mikemccoy84]

The batted down ball around the goal line Ad came across the back wide open if the play had a split second more

[4daUColts]

This post is getting me antsy for sunday. I hope we win this next ball game, if we play smart and hard we can EASILY start out 3-1. I just read trevor lawrence is 21-31 since hes been with jags. Lets meet that speed they bring...  See what this post did to me? Good post! 

[lollygagger8]

I said this before, but once AR and AD get their timing down, opposing offenses are going to look silly.

Last year Downs and AR were often working together in the off hours, including being spotted by local reporters in a hotel parking lot one evening tossing the ball. Not sure if AR and Mitchell did that this year or not. 

[Dark Superman]

He was two miscues away from having a huge game on Sunday. Twice he was wide open for a Touchdown and he and AR couldn't get on the same page, unfortunately.

[Crunked]

been biting my tongue on this topic, but unless AD grows about 8' taller with matching wing span, or AR can improve his accuracy he can't be involved. he could've should've had superstar game week 1....not his fault
