First 2 Hopkins TDs (screenshots and coverage breakdown) (1 Viewer)

Great post DAN! I'm encourage seeing this more than anything because these are simple mistakes that we can clean up. Plus there aren't many Hopkins out there. I trust Davis and Williams will get their stuff together and clean these things up. Plus with Onyemata coming back and Rankins back in a month, QB's won't have a pocket to step up into.

Dan, you are a treasure for this forum.

After reading all of this, I can't stop thinking that it really is only the second season of PJ as a slot receiver. He may be needing more time to learn the position.

The interesting thing to me is that we have Patrick Robinson in the bench. I know he didn't look good at all during the preseason but he was mainly playing boundary corner during the second half of the games.

He was signed to come back after being rated the best slot corner of 2017 with the Eagles. I wonder how he is physically and mentally, but I would not be shocked if they give him some playing time in the next couple of weeks.

I wasn't even going to share these shots from this gem of a play by PJ Williams (TD play on the 2 play drive by the Texans to take the lead).

He should be staying in his backpedal longer (as long as he can) using a weave technique, not flipping his hips open when he still has 5 yards of cushion. The WR stems him outside, gets him to flip his hips early, then rocker steps back in on the seam route.


Quality isn't great, but you can see PJ coming out of a speed turn to try and recover on the seam. The problem is when you get stemmed out of position like that, all the WR has to do is flatten out his route and you don't have the angle. I will also say that I don't know why the hell Marcus Williams is jumping on the underneath route rather than staying deep middle... but this is an example of the little technical bad habits PJ Williams have that seem to flare up like herpes in critical situations.

This one kills me because it was a great play call.
If given 1 more second, Bell would have gotten home and potentially caused a fumble which would have ended the game.
