Player Signing Patriots sign Jalen Reagor to Practice Squad

[mike_usagisan]

Never followed his career enough to know what went wrong but I think your interpretation is probably on the money.

What little I've heard since the pickup is the guy's head might not be on straight and isn't great at a complex offense. So I wouldn't expect too much for him. But I think BOB's offense is about quick short and intermediate routes, so if you have a guy who can draw off the deeper defense and open up the middle enough to allow for some YAC to the other WRs, that might be enough.

My scouting acumen is so great that once upon a time I wanted to pair Harry and Reagor. I thought they'd be a dynamic duo. Oops!

Reagor can still be an occasionally explosive player in the right scheme. Just don't ask him to do much. Reverses, go routes, maybe returning. That's about it. I'm not sure he's got the chops for a more complex offense.

With that speed can he be a returner, or does he lack agility to make anyone miss?

He was picked one spot ahead of Justin Jefferson?? If it were the Pats, they’d probably done the same thing!

I think they'll know by week 1 if this guy is a basket case, or ready to grow up and be mentored by the likes of Slater and Parker.
I wouldn't be surprised if BB cuts him in the next 2 weeks.

I get kind of a Jimmy Piersall/Fear Strikes Out vibe from him.

Yea this town has had it's share of players who were not all together upstairs.

Piersall was def one for the Sox
Delonte West for the Celtics
Terry Glenn and Irving Fryar had their moments

 

[Guts]

This guy stinks

But I thought the Pats were the only team who picked the wrong receivers?

More recently, Flash Gordon and Antonio Brown. Although Brown wasn’t here long enough for his most extreme antics, thank goodness!

and who was the DAe that got some whacky weed and then got naked in the Foxboro PD parking lot a few years ago?

Chandler Jones. The most swept under the rug story in recent decades, because he was on his way out of town anyway.

Right, but now that weed is mostly decriminalized, it seems like so many of those stories were pointless then and laughable now. Remember when Faulk got in trouble for having weed. Jesus, who cares?

Chandler Jones but I think that was a one time thing. He just did some bad smack.

KO returner?

Seems like Special Teams will be greatly improved to the point that they win games like in 2001 and 2003.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

As long as he learns to hold onto the ball. In his career, 163 touches ( rush, recieve, PR,KR) and 8 fumbles, nearly 5%!!!

 

[BelizePats]

Seems like the classic million dollar talent with a 10 cent brain. If he last here longer than a month, I'll be shocked.

wasn't it spice or something? one of the synthetics that were popular before legalization?

 

[denverpatsfan]

Ask any Eagles fan. He stinks.
Hopefully a change of scenery will revive his career

Chandler Jones before the 2015 AFCCG:

Can’t be worse than last season.

Yea that sounds right. Not 100% sure.
