Tour2ma Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Gordon makes Little better... period... Not sure why... competition? Regardless it was easy to spot it happening last year. Fewer drops... more profesionalism (i.e., less hot dog shit)... It was not all on him, but we saw a little of the 2011 Little reappear in Week 1... I expect more in week 2... But then it will get better.... I promise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I wouldnt hold My breath on Little...too many factors that can distract him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 He's a beast against a #2 CB. He's not good enough to be a WR1, doesn't have the speed or separation ability. All he has is size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin J Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Little is a bit of an enigma. The guy has decent top end speed but almost zero burst. Hes fun to watch after the catch but he has to catch it first. Hes an excellent run blocking reciever but we almost never get to see him in action due to the lack of second level perimeter runs we pull off. I think his ultimate roll in the NFL would be as a TE/WR3 hybrid in the mold of the infamous Aaron Hernandez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good blocker, good with ball in hands, sounds almost like he's a RB! Oh wait. Actually, if we managed to get our hands on a genuine quality WR in the offseason to complement Gordon, I wouldn't mind seeing someone of little's size and ability playing FB.

Flyin J Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I wouldn't necessarilly want him lead blocking linebackers now but I like my fullbacks to be excellent blockers. If you're gonna have a FB on the field instead of another playmaker he better be able to be a dominant blocker. Put him in the slot or right off Cameron so he can block nickle corners or safeties. This is why their decision to put Ogbannaya at FB and have him out there as much as he was baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Little's drop percentages 2013 Week 1: 20% (I'd say 10% but source says different) 2012: 6.52% 2011: 9.92% I think the Gordon influence is pretty clear. While 6.5% ain't golden there were an awful lot of "top" WR names with season drops percentages of 5 and 6%... including: Victor Cruz Julio Jones Andre Johnson Davon Bess...

Cbus Brownie Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'm over Little, he sucks. #1 Gordon, #2 Bess, #3 Benjamin. I'd like to see Cooper get more looks, he seems a sure handed posession type of guy. With Cameron geting looks I like that lineup. Sprinkle Little in every now and again if we can't drop him.

Guys who are solid enough blockers but also are good with the ball in their hands. Gone are the days of pure blocking FB's. They are finding roster spots harder to come by.

Flyin J Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 The rest of the teams with mediocre QBs would like to differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin J Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Most teams are deploying backup/converted TE's to an H-Back role. This makes more sense than trying to get blocks on DLman and LB's from a 220 LB. Running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
