Would you say he was more or less valuable than one of the high upside TEs, like Kelce, Green or Ertz?
I also wouldn't read much into any game since a similar thing happened to James Jones last year:
Sherman stays on one side of the field so the Packers left their third best wide receiver over on that side and used Jordy and Cobb instead. That won't always happen, but even in a great offense the WR3 is going to have bad games.
I am definitely buying low. Clearly the Packers game-planned for Boykin to hog up Sherman's coverage, as Collinsworth pointed out frequently.
good post just don't know if Boykin is that good.... Being a wr3 isn't terrible in that offense but He may just be a scrub. We will see, def 1 game isn't enough to end all be all but you made a good point!
Problem is trying to figure out when that is. That said, I agree it's hard to make a judgment based on the Sherman effect. The lack of a viable TE threat with Finley gone should open up more looks for Boykin.
Sure. He's really just depth/bye week filler. Starting him every week isn't a great option unless you have some injuries or the Packers have some injuries.
The other thing would make me a little nervous is that Green Bay clearly was content to throw Boykin to the dogs (or Sherman, in this case) to maximize Jordy. If this is going to be their MO whenever they play teams with a good corner to iso Jordy, that doesn't necessarily bode well for Boykin.
But not every team keeps their top corner on the right side of the offense the whole game. Some teams have their best corner shadow their opponent's top receiver.
True. And honestly, I'm not sure which defenses keep their corners on one side and which ones move them. I know the Bears would usually rotate Tillman (especially against Calvin Johnson and the Lions). Not sure which other teams might keep them home. And it really only makes a difference when one corner is decently superior to the other in coverage.
Local media said Adams really started coming on the last couple weeks of TC. He looked pretty good yesterday as well. I don't know the snap counts from yesterday, but if he is indeed ahead of Boykin already, that doesn't bode well for Boykin going forward.
What's this mean? Did he whiff on a block on a well known play?
