Howie better take responsibility for that and stop drafting these slow ass bull**** receivers. Eagles desperately need to draft for speed on all levels and positions this offseason..
Which sucks given that you should never force stuff like this but we are just too damn slow.
I don't think it's fair to say speed is the chief reason JJAW didn't do much this year. He got very good releases off the line in college and that's largely disappeared.
I would say the bigger takeaway is don't use high picks on David Shaw Receivers. He's not remotely ready mentally. Super sloppy all year in his cuts, can't sit in the gap under the Safeties in 2 High Zones to save his life, etc. Hopefully he eventually gets there, but no matter how fast he is after he gets up to speed, unless the mental aspects are fixed, he's not playable.
