Tee Higgins Back As Well - Wes Mantooth - 08-23-2020

I just saw this. My apologies if someone else already updated the board with this info, but I hadn't heard the news until just now.

This is really great news. Coupled with the fact that Ross is back, I feel a lot better about WR corp getting some meaningful reps. Cuz it was looking sparse earlier in the week.

You are on it, hadn't heard this until now, thanks Wes.

Tee looked great when he was running his routes before he got hurt, hopefully he lives up to the number 85.

But I thought someone said Burrow didn't have a strong arm???

RE: Tee Higgins Back As Well - Burreaux - 08-24-2020

I’ve never understood the arm strength criticism with Burrow. Obviously he’s not Pat Mahomes but he isn’t Chad Pennington either. It’s almost like people have to find a negative to mention along with the good. His arm strength is fine.

Well, when a college QB doesn't date and spends most his time on his studies and game film, one would be silly to question his arm strength. Prolly went through a ton of socks! Ninja

C'mon Tee, I've got an Armon Binns jersey that needs repurposed!

RE: Tee Higgins Back As Well - McC - 08-24-2020

Don't remember if I heard it said or read it, but some reporter type who watched the Bengals commented that Tee is like AJ in height but has a thicker build, for whatever that's worth.

I was told there would be nothing but hyper accurate perfect passes that the WRs wouldn't have to try hard to catch....

As long as it not on par with Finleys arm  we should be good..and hearing Tees comments make me feel better since he was catching balls from Trevor Lawrence

Well, the ones that weren't eight feet over his head, like in the Championship game, that is.

They are "hyper-accurate perfect passes." They are purposely thrown high enough the DB can't get them. It's called a height advantage, either it is complete or incomplete..... no interceptions

Interesting. When Andy Dalton did that it was often called "inaccurate passes that your WR has to make circus catches to complete". Must be a difference in offensive scheme terminology.

Can we please just move on? Joe Burrow is our QB now, and Andy Dalton is on another team.

So why throw them that high when there is no defender to contest the catch?

Nope. 

Two QBs throw inaccurate passes that their WRs have to save them on. One was rightfully criticized, and now one is being treated like a genius for doing so.

That can't simply be moved on from. It needs to be pointed out.


(Also what makes you believe that once a long-time QB leaves a team they are never mentioned again or used as a point of comparison? That's a silly notion. The Colts didn't forget about Peyton Manning, the Cowboys didn't forget about Tony Romo, heck the Bengals didn't forget about Carson Palmer, etc, etc)
