That's what is so amazing about Tyreek and Mecole. Those guys can change direction really quick. They aren't just super fast in a straight line.

That was Hardman's combine number. At the Georgia pro day he ran 4.24.

I'm not a believer in the "thunder & lightning" strategy.

If we have a system built around quickness then we should stock up on speedy receivers so they're more plug-n-play in the event of an injury. Rather than having to adjust timing/strategy because we threw some plodder out there.

Reminds me of teams like the Chargers who draft big body, slow WR's and then sign some small, quick gadget guy in Travis Benjamin. That shit is dumb. He ends up just looking miscast.

It's a philosophy. You either believe in WR's who separate quickly, or you believe in big guys who win on contested catches. I dont like that mix and match shit. You lose your identity.

Dude that mix and match shit is exactly the kinda corp that just won the Super Bowl

Reek and Hardman at 5’10 or under and around 190

Watkins and Pringle at 6’1 and 205 to 210

You don’t want all Smurfs, or all bigger guys either... the sweet spot is a balanced mix

Their strengths are all similar. Neither Watkins or Pringle are big-bodied WR's like a Mike Williams etc.

We don't have a mix-n-match corps. We got guys who win with speed and quickness, not high point, body them out and contest the catch kinda dudes.

I’ll grant you they’re not those 6’3 230 types, but they’re not my size either... they give you some height and bulk even while being fast in their own right

I’m well past the point of HAVING to be right in a football argument, but there is definitely truth in what I’m saying... you think if Andy could get his hands on another TO type, he’d take a pass because it’s all about elite quickness in and out of breaks now?

Come on man

We’ll just have to disagree I guess, let’s just see who we pick up this offseason...

Hopefully, that's what Fortson turns out to be.

Hes opting out of 2020 season....


https://www.nfl.com/news/albert-wils...-out-of-season


Another Miami Dolphins wide receiver will opt out of the 2020 season.
Albert Wilson informed the Dolphins he has decided to sit out the campaign.
"Not an easy decision to make..." Wilson wrote on Twitter. "I've decided to opt out of this 2020 season. It was very tough choice but since the day I started playing the game it's always been Faith Family Football. Because of this crazy time I choose to put my family in the best situation I see fit. I will stand by my teammates & brothers to support them 100% throughout this season and will be counting the days until I can join them again. 1 love."
Dolphins coach Brian Flores said in a statement, "I support Albert's decision. I know he made it with his family in mind. I want what is best for Albert, as I do for all of our players."
Wilson joins fellow Fins receiver Allen Hurns who also opted out this week.
The 28-year-old Wilson appeared slated to play a big role in the Dolphins offense as a slot receiver next to DeVante Parker. The opt outs of Wilson and Hurns leave Miami very young and thin at receiver.
Parker is poised to be the Dolphins' No. 1 target, with Preston Williams the No. 2, if he's fully recovered from an ACL tear by the start of the season. The rest of the wideout corps includes Gary Jennings, Isaiah Ford, Jakeem Grant, Mack Hollins and UDFAs Matt Cole and Kirk Merritt.

Whether Tua Tagovailoa or Ryan Fitzpatrick wins the Week 1 starting QB gig, their job just became harder after this week's WR news. We knew 2020 would challenge teams' depth. The Dolphins are finding that truth out early.
Players have until Thursday at 4 p.m. ET to opt out of the 2020 season.

Dolphins fans probably hate this dude's ****ing guts lol

Hoover 08-05-2020 11:02 AM

Well Albert is probably planning on being a cheap pick up for this Chiefs next year for some depth.

KChiefs1 08-05-2020 11:05 AM

Pass on alligator arms.

Bump 05-11-2024 11:07 PM

he had a better career than I would have thought tbh

JohnnyHammersticks 05-11-2024 11:18 PM

Wonder if he’ll take advantage of his NFL retiree medical plan to have his alligator arms replaced with real human arms… :hmmm:

Jamie 05-11-2024 11:27 PM

He forgot to thank Mahomes for getting him that contract from Miami.

Career earnings of $22 million. I really should have spent more time on the 40 yard dash during my formative years.

5’9” 190 lbs.

Where else could a guy like him have cashed out like this? What an amazing opportunity.

BossChief 05-12-2024 02:46 PM

I kinda feel bad for Albert and his stigma for alligator arms. Dude played with a shoulder injury the last year in KC that didn’t improve till the last couple weeks of the season. I know he had mild alligator arm problems before that, but that last year was really bad due, at least partially, to the injury.

Mahomes got him paid, though.

Cheater5 05-12-2024 05:01 PM

This is all I can really remember him doing, which was a really cool special teams play. Nonetheless, congratulations on a successful career, Albert

We make our jokes about him, he was fine, even dynamic at times.

If Skyy did what Wilson did it would be a huge boost.

Bowser 05-12-2024 06:03 PM

That was maybe his singular career highlight play with us. But I'll never forget this one either. Perfect summation of both Alex Smith and Alber Wilson when you think about it.....

The thing that cuts really deep is that isn't an exaggeration - it's 100% accurate.

Yeah, he was damn fast. He had 6th round hands and a short guy catch radius, but he had to be respected. And with a capable QB (read: Mahomes) he was a weapon.

I'm not going to pretend he was anything he wasn't but I respect him.

ThaVirus 05-12-2024 08:28 PM

This is a fun highlight. Mf looks like he was shot out of a cannon.

Pretty sure that was the Eric Berry pick-2 game as well.

If we had prime Albert Wilson on this team last year he's our #2 receiver without even a shadow of a doubt. Another guy we'll all probably forget about eventually, but dudes like him are a huge part of the reason why this team has been so damn good for 10 straight years.

To constantly be able to find contributors in day 3 of the draft puts you so far ahead of the rest of the league. Obviously, it all starts with the core, but if you're not finding cheap pieces to put around them, you end up like the Buffalo Bills.
