MysticalJet2 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 We all hope so and good for him. But he needs to translate it to the field. There is a lot needed above the shoulders as well as the physical stuff. Hopefully he's getting it all together. I am rooting for the man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCJet Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 6 hours ago, jetstream23 said: Mims has another year to show if he can actually be the replacement for Corey Davis at the X spot. Boy would that be an unexpected boost to this team. Especially since we would have less than $1 million in dead money left on Davis' contract in 2023 if he could replace him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Integrity28 Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 58 minutes ago, JiFapono said: haha this is true but it's also his first full healthy offseason, so maybe this does help him put it together in the season. He's been a bit snake bitten since he got here, it wouldnt shock me if he turned it around. He showed promise as a rookie. This. Last season was just a lost year, he missed to much reps and was unhealthy for the install of the offense. It’s more realistic to evaluate him this year. If he sucks again, move on. Not a big deal, but our fans will no less harp on it for the next 4 months. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of players fans have soured on, been dismissive of… or have low expectations: Mimsy Becton Corey Davis (reasonably paid veteran WR2) Connor McGovern Nathan Shepherd Rooting hard for all those guys! What more could you ask for in Behcton and Mims after a dissapointing season because of injury and wierd circumstances? They both connected with the best outside/off season position coaches to improve, they look in shape, have said all the right things, and they both appear to be working above and beyond to get better. The harsh criticism of Mims and Behcton is counterproductive and a bit mean spirited. . 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it bodes well on everybody if these two come around this year. For themselves first and foremost, but it also makes them look like good JD picks, and that Saleh and the staff used the right approach to get them motivated. You know, because the organization is being run competently for the first time in a very long time.

Not a big deal, but our fans will no less harp on it for the next 4 months. Could be more than coincidence; that his slighter frame - and not working on himself enough off the field - wasn't unrelated to his being both injured and not prepared to be on the field. Maybe figuring as a high draft pick (on a team lacking WR1 level talent) the job would be just handed to him, plus that he wouldn't get hurt in the future because he didn't get hurt in the past. I doubt that's a conscious thought/plan he had, but it seems obvious he wasn't previously putting in the offseason work that he did this winter/spring, or no one would be wow'd by the shape he's in now. Young players working hard on improving themselves is always great to hear. We'll see/hear a lot more in 3 months when it's offense vs. defense in pads, as to whether this "news" manifests in similarly big changes on the field. I do think it will (if he doesn't get another unexpected injury), since it's not like he wasn't talented or skilled. I hope so, since they can't train their other fast WRs to grow to 6'3" tall with 34" arms, nor their taller TEs to run a 4.4 40 & 2.5 second 20. If not? Well, the truth is the team's already made arrangements for football without Mims. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his problems so far with this regime have seemed to be more mental. I’d like to hear that he dived as deeply into the playbook as he has the gym.
