Can't wait until Gase starts sprinkling him in the offense!
It was worth watching that game for that moment. As an NFL farm team fan, sometimes you just wanna see incredible displays of talent.
I don't think Stills is scarier for a defense than Grant. The sooner Gase realizes this the better.
Grant, Landry and Parker...I like the sound of that.

I was really happy when Grant popped it, you can't help but root for this kid.

I still am impressed you haven't shoved Dak up our asses yet. What the Hell did you see in him? How did you know? And what do you think of Deshaun Watson?

If you watch the original footage closely you can see Kenyan Drake tee off on someone. Leonte Carroo saw Grant blow past him but hustled to eventually help spree him loose for the score.
Grant is not quite the receiver that stills is just yet, but that's no reason not to get him involved.Pandarilla likes this. -
What I saw in Dak was his progression, and that he was learning the NFL way, which he would be doing on his own merits, because the college coach wants to win, so they will let mobile QBs be mobile QBs, they will not try to "retrain" a mobile QB to be an NFL QB, so that is pretty impressive on Dak's part, it's very rare.
Leadership for Dak was off the charts, he was a "Tebow" type of leader, and he had all the physical tools, he also played really well in big games.
So for me it kind of becomes a math equation in a way;
drive, he has shown great drive by taking it upon himself to learn how to QB the NFL way,
+
skills, he can run, has a strong arm and is accurate,
+
clutch, plays great on the big stage,
+
leadership, he's the captain of the ship, and the mates all feel lucky to have him as captain,
=
great QB.
This is why I was running around before the draft with my Dak out, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, Dak, lol, because what I saw was a 6'3" 240lb Russell Wilson, or a Tim Tebow that can actually throw the ball, and in all honesty, if I was drafting, I would have taken him in the 3rd round, but as you know, he was my favorite player in the draft.
I haven't watched Watson yet, I do intensive tape watching prior to the draft, I don't actually watch many college games live, I pick a player and then watch everything I can on him.
You were on the front lines for the Dream though, and now he's showing it for our team, so I'm real happy for you, and us because we got him, of course I know what you saw in him, lol, when you were pushing him I went and watched tape on him, and anyone who watched tape on him had fun watching, the only question was could he take a hit, and it only took 5 games for him to break off a return, and he wasn't even returning punts the whole time.
I can't wait for him to slide into the offense, so we can watch the D play catch the waterbug :up:Pandarilla, cbrad and Fin-O like this. -
Damn, didn't know Dak was 6'3, 240...I only like to watch positions of need before the draft or prospects I think will be available when we pick. Never watched Tunsil either, before we drafted him.
Plus, my eyes often deceive me with QB's. I liked Leaf over Manning, for instance. I'm getting better...
I also saw Carroo hustling as the main blocker when Jakeem popped out of the wash of players.
I've never seen a player that when you look at his game photos, the defensive players look like they've been photoshopped into the frame at such a weird angle it looks fake. Usually on the ground grasping at nothing.
He may break out on offense like Parker did his rookie year. -
I think the TD will do a lot for him, that was an "I belong" moment for him, I think his confidence, which is already real high, will get even better now, and it will lead to him being more "ready" for anything, and pushing for O time.
The dude is all heart(which makes him only slightly larger than a normal sized heart :lol:), and I love rooting for the guy.
Cam getting to the QB and Grant's TD are the only heart warming Dolphin moments I've had this year.Pandarilla likes this. -
Check out his cleats in the opening post. Nothing you can tell on the sole, yet huge spikes sticking out the side. His lateral mobility is insane and cannot be matched.
