[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1075394, member: 17953"] This is what I've been telling people right along about Romeo. You have to watch his play and analyze it, not look at his concussions last year and week of frustration. He is a consummate receiver who thrives in that shorter route zone where most receivers aren't nearly as productive because they don't know how to utilize their hands and body in making catches. Don't get fooled by his not gaining 1,000 yards. That's a measure of yardage that only applies to the guys who make the catches in longer routes. Usually, they fail miserably in shorter routes because they don't have the thicker bodies to absorb more punishment. When you watch Doubs, concentrate on how he works his routes, getting in range of a first down when the chains need to be moved. If you look at Romeo's YAC, you'd say it's horrible. Only 68 yards. But that's not understanding stats and how to evaluate them. Romeo makes contested catches at a phenomenal rate. By far the best on the team in my opinion. With so many of those catches, they move the chain. In fact, I think it's about 75% of the time. Because of how he's deployed, and the fact that he catches a high percentage of catches based on his being the target. Some experts say he is kind of limited in his route running skills, but I disagree. He runs the route with minor differences that makes it possible for him to become a target. A receiver who knows they are likely to have the ball thrown to them will modify the route some to insure they keep their body between the defenders and the ball so nobody can catch it but them. This is the same thing that's made some of the best historical pass receivers great. They make sure they help the QB make the throw; they don't let him throw it dead into coverage for an interception. Romeo did that on one pass thrown in his direction against the Cardinals. He couldn't gain position so he made sure the ball would not be caught by the defender, and if I recall correctly, it was in the end zone. To sum it up, they should have already extended Doubs. They should have known that. Now it's going to cost them a lot more, and it's possible they won't be offering enough, and he'll take his game elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
