When is 12 Personnel not 12 Personnel?
altho it was interesting (great?) to see the rams offense mix it up by going with a lot of 12 personnel groupings @ arizona, the 22 tape has me wondering if the move was more a reynolds demotion than a commitment to a standard 12 personnel scheme... i say this because technically speaking the rams did play a lot of 12 (1 rb, 2 te) last week, but in a lot of cases they simply trotted out their usual 11 sets (groupings) with the only difference being everett filling in as a wr instead of reynolds.
after what appeared to be a break out game vs the chiefs (8 targets, 6 catches, 80 yards, 1 td), reynolds' numbers looked horrible in the next 3 games (26 targets, 12 catches, 46% catch rate, 0 tds, 2 picks) - add to this everett is much a much better blocker than reynolds, especially in pass pro and downfield, and is also very capable route runner and pass catcher... as a result, seemingly, everett not only played in typical 12 schemes last week, but he also took a lot of josh's snaps in what appeared to be 11 personnel groupings... hell, everett even had 2 jet sweeps @ arizona.
Reynolds seems to have a lot of good tools, but I find myself wondering how dedicated he is to his craft. Does he put in enough work on the limited and nuanced aspects of his sport - footwork, getting in and out of breaks, hand-eye coordination, etc.?
Yeah I agree. I think he looks really smooth and his college tape suggested that he had the "it's MY ball" mentality when the ball is on its way. Now, he just looks disinterested a lot of the time. I think he has the tools to be a very good WR in this league but I'm not sure he has the "want to" that is necessary.
I hope he can get it because I think he can be a good one.
