Slots get jammed also but you can help offset that some by lining then up off the Los...although if you look at Jarvis landrys work this season you will see guys were riding him all over the place in the 5 yard zone off the los or not...i like Lockett though...but that size doesn't fix our problems
Landry is slow though. When I watched Senior Bowl practices they tried to jam Phillip Dorsett and he blew by guys before they could get their hands up lol.
As for the game I got to say I was disappointed in Sammie Coates. The first 3 passes on the south were to him...the first was way too late from Garrett Grayson...Coates was open out of his break but Grayson was running with the ball and thinking about throwing it far to long before he pulled the trigger and that allowed the DB to make a play. The offensive pass interference play was actually a good play by him on a terribly thrown pass. If he doesn't push off on the CB there it's a pick so it may have cost the team 15 yards but at least they kept possession. The deep pass was an excellent play by the CB to get his hand in there and come through the ball and knock it out but I wanted to see him jump inside the CB and high point the ball like Rannell Hall did later in the game (one of my sleeper WRs), which was a great play by Hall. Also the TD where he got one foot down...c'mon son...you've been practicing all week with NFL rules, don't give me the excuse you forgot you were going to the NFL. Get both feet down.
I still think Coates has major upside but the Dolphins are not in position to wait on that kid. He is raw as heck, an athletic freak, but way too raw. Dezmin Lewis, my other sleeper at WR, made some nice catches on the sidelines and showed the ability to high point the ball but I didn't see enough separation in his routes. I liked what I saw from the running backs but I don't know how much of that was due to bad play from the linebackers. None of the linebackers in that game did much at all. Carl Davis, to me, looked better than Danny Shelton at DT.
Hard to judge the CBs and WRs with the QB play being so, so bad.
