That's Phillip Gaines, isn't it?
Was that the play that has had him hurt for a few practices? Because someone should tell him that even when his knee heals up, his pride may never fully recover. G'damn, that was hilarious and brutal.

Cool that displays the elite quickness and change of direction speed the guy has.
Gaines held Emmanuel Sanders in check last year and got abused on that rep by Thomas. Not many #3 or #4 corners are going to be able to keep up... |

Not to be a Debbie downer, but notice there was no chuck or contact at the los. Thomas is probably going to have to get off the press alot

My thoughts as well. Any DB with a brain will try and get their hands on him.

And if DAT does manage to beat the press, it's all over but the tears. I've always been fascinated watching the little WRs run the press drills. The things they do with their feet and their hands are just so critical in defeating/setting up the DB. It's just game of chess and they're trying moves and counter-moves to get free of those DBs. It's like watching the OT/DE matchups but in miniature and at really high speeds. If he can even break the press 1/2 the time, his quickness in space will make teams have to think long and hard about doing it. They may prefer just give him a little cushion and drive on the routes when thrown.

I hope.
It'd be nice for him to turn into our version of Antonio brown |

I'm ****in' stoked to see DAT this year. This is the PERFECT system for him to excel in. Maybe aside from Philly. Chip Kelly used him perfectly at Oregon. If he can run routes and stop on a dime he's gonna be a stud in open space. Maybe those ridiculous DeSean Jackson comparisons could actually come alive somewhat.

I'm sure that teams will try to press the shit out of him the first few weeks until he proves he can beat the press, though...gotta earn that cushion. |

I'm really excited this season for DAT. Healthy and should have impact every game whether PR or in the slot. I'm hoping he develops into a Dante Hall type

I'm sure if the rolls were reversed with Gaines RUNNING forward and KNOWING where he was going and DAT PEDDLING backwards and NOT KNOWING where the receiver is going , you would have the same results. They r both very fast. Think about it for a minute.
