I think he might be good at this receiver thing. But we won't know for three or four years apparently.

It was the only reward that worked to encourage proper form tackling. It just got outta hand.

He is looking like the best player from the last draft at this point. Tyler Warren would be my number two so far. It feels like we got a certified steal and it will be scary for defenses if our wife receivers can all get healthy.

There's an argument to be made that we are a 0-5 team without Egbuka. There's also an argument to be made that when Evans comes back, your CB1 should be on Emeka, not him. Which leads to the third argument; EE is WR1 in Tampa now, and will continue to be so moving forward.

Glad as hell we drafted him.

I hate the thought of this team without Evans and Godwin but the talented, young dudes, led by EE, give me a ton of comfort. At this point, the WR room is set for a long time.

Subtle improvements like that will go a long way in his development. Don't think he's separated from a DB like that all season long.

in all fairness, it was zone coverage.. separation typically pertains to man coverage

False.
He's had trouble finding space against zone as well. Separation doesnt typically pertain to just man coverage either. Not sure where you learned that.

just say you misread the coverage.

"great separation against cover 3".. not a thing

Both Egbuka and Tez were among the best in the draft at it.

There's a ton of Fantasy Football spreadsheet guys who have been saying it about Egbuka for a while dating back to his college days. Not sure if that's where Bootz gets it from or not.

Wrong, kiddo. There's actual data as well as game film that says it as well. It was also a criticism of him during the draft process. You should really stop and fact check before you willingly prove to everyone how fucking stupid you are.

Guessing the NFLs actual combine scouting reports are just fantasy football guys?

Weaknesses
Jostled by redirection and physical coverage underneath.
Speed appears average in the drive phase of the route.
Struggles to drop weight and open quickly on comebacks.
Average quickness and separation in and out of breaks.
Takes time to find acceleration after slowing feet inside the route or on receiver screens.
And you say I act like I know everything. Seems that would be you.

Never said that about you actually, nor claimed that about myself.

And 'average' doesn't mean 'none' or not good at it, simply means 'average'. Scouting report would read 'below average' if they didn't think he could separate very much or at at all, like this one:

EE has made a few contested catches, but it’s kinda crazy how wide open he often is. He’s really adept at finding openings in zones and has chemistry with Baker. If the league will keep giving it to him, he will keep taking it.

I don't recall specifically where I saw it, but it was probably listed in the Tez thread. I'll look.
