You make some good points. But the truth is that it is more difficult for a receiver to get separation when he lines up on the boundary. There is less room between him and the sideline and thus less room for him to work with. It’s one reason why the spot for a long time was commonly reserved for rookies/younger players. Cobb’s strongest asset IMO was his intelligence. He didn’t excel at any of the measureables in a remarkable way IIRC but he knew where to be and when to be there. I still think it was a pretty bad mistake to pay him $9 mill per year at the time though.Yoop wrote: ↑04 May 2023 19:06not sure why you would think that, slot is a high traffic area, often the slot receiver is double bracketed for the first 10 yrds on every route he runs, and Cobb was a seam buster, there was a graph with every route Cobb ran in that 1300 yrd seasons and % of routes run in each, and there where plenty in every route in our schemes.Captain_Ben wrote: ↑04 May 2023 16:05Cobb could separate in the slot because it's easier for anyone to separate in the slot. He couldn't separate consistently on the boundary, even when he was healthy.Yoop wrote: ↑04 May 2023 07:41
which Cobb, the one who played banged up and struggled to separate, or the 2014 Cobb who separated to the tune of a 1300 yrd receiving season, Cobbs problem was he was always nursing injury, at 100% Cobb could separate in a phone booth, I'am guessing those that like Reed see some of the 2014 Cobb in him.
the only thing that held Cobbs stats down is his health and his coach.
