CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 No, drops are bad. However, players can work through there drop issues to unveil there true potential. I’ve always been team Njoku since he was drafted and he displayed some spectacular catch potential last year. He was drafted a bit raw and has developed very nicely!

jiggins7919 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Njoku is very young, but you can see his confidence building. I really thought he was going to fumble on that touchdown, but he didn't, and he made quite a play (with help from our OL!). He's starting to get more YAC, and he's looking comfortable with the ball. His hands have looked solid, and he's definitely a guy who likes the ball high. I adored the touchdown celebration with the offensive linemen joining in on the Chief Slam! Classic!

gumby73 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 David is way young for 2 years in nfl. And i think having Fells around can only make him better..Watched a lot of ACC games due to my location. If you watched Fells teach blocking to Cajuste? Njoku was very similar lacking explosion from stance. He's gotten better, but just not great... yet. I'd almost prefer to see DeValve/Fells block than stand Njoku up..Once No joke gets to 3rd 4th stride standing him up, he'd explode at top speed like at The U..He's far from pulling away from anybody in this league & that happens..but not many small speed guys can cover his height either. loved watching the power of David at the goalline today..that was beast-ku..

Bob806 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Njoku hasn't reached his potential yet but the ceiling is high. I'd put him in the slot once in awhile or split him wide too. On a side note, a winning streak. I think we all forgot how nice it feels lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I said I was really high on the kid going into this season, and was disappointed that he started the season off poorly. And he did. He's been playing much better, which is great. But let's not let facts get in the way of one of LondonBrown's tantrums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the thing with Mayfield and Njoku - there's been quite a few instances where Mayfield really hasn't put the ball on the money to Njoku, and the kid has made fantastic catches to help Baker out. Njoku has really come on this season. He's very important to this team down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to be a concentration issue. He catches the hard ones and he drops the ones that hit him in the hands. That seems to have gone away in the last few weeks, kinda like all the penalties and the dropped passes in general over the last 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually going to comment on the dropped passes, and they've somehow become a non-issue. I don't know HOW, and I really don't care, LOL. I'm also really impressed with Antonio Callaway lately. That 3rd and 11 he caught on the sideline was a magical example of Baker being Baker, and a receiver excelling at his craft. That was a game-changing moment in the game, and that completion lead directly to a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when he drops a ball in just about every game ya watch. And we've all seen the talent. He makes some really difficult catches. - It's really good that he's strung some games together. 5 targets and 5 catches against the Bengals. Really good to see!

Ibleedbrown Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I tend to think Njoku has some leadership qualities as well. Just a few scenes from HK and a couple interviews l’ve seen, but he seems to have a confidence and presence around his teammates. Pretty cool for such a young guy. Perhaps a future team captain.

I was as tough on Njoku as anybody, but I NEVER wanted him gone. I was just tired of the drops and the occasional missed block that hurt us. He's REALLY been stepping up his play, and that diving catch he made on the laser seam pass was stunning. It was also a bad pass by the normally uber accurate Mayfield. Njoku was extremely open and Baker HAS to put that ball on him so Njoku can have the chance to run after the catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 ...umm...to Njoku...he's got all the tools. He's big and athletic. Makes incredible catches...but those are the ones that you've got to concentrate really hard on. You have to block out everything and focus. He's just got to DO that consistently when the pass is right too him and easy to catch. I think on those, he sometimes starts looking/thinking about where he's going to run and forgets to look the ball all the way in. - Braylon Edwards used to do that...except HE wasn't looking to run, he was looking out in case someone might hit him and give him a boo-boo. Njoku has a chance to make a big name for himself. If Baker thinks that he can rely on him, he'll get him the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
