Steve Smith Breaks Down Rookie WR Jalin Hyatt

[@shanehall8447]

This is where I have an issue. Stop holding things against him for doing what the coach required him to do.

[@M_Ladd]

Did you ever think that the coach required him to do these things because the coach also knew his limitations in doing the other things necessary to be a complete receiver?

[@shanehall8447]

@@M_Ladd the coaches job is to win the games. Hyatt specific skill set with the speed that he has allows him to do certain things on a team, that no one else can do as well as him. No one else on that team is as fast as he is so, it wasn’t beneficial for the coach to have Hyatt run the entire route tree, but to put him in a position where he can win BEST Hyatt skill sets stress the defense in a way nobody else on my team can and the coaches job is to WIN games. So he sets up his offense and his players in a way that allows him to do that best.

[@M_Ladd]

@shanehall8447 Their again College is night and day vs the Pros. It wasn't beneficial because he could not do it for one reason or another. Every year, you see speed receivers drafted early. Still waiting for Marquise Brown, Calvin Austin, etc etc, to finish relevant. They are situational gadget players, and drafting them will give you nothing but a headache in fantasy. They will go off the week you don't play them, and then do nothing when you do play them. Best to avoid them altogether. If you are smart! Some have to learn the hard way.

[@shanehall8447]

@@M_Ladd again you’re making an assumption that he could not do something I believe that assumption is wrong. He had a skill set that was superior to others in terms of speed so he used him in a way that accentuate his skill set the best to win games college coaches are not there to develop players for the pros. They are there to win games.

[@M_Ladd]

@shanehall8447 Yes, it is an assumption. Until you see a player do something that is what you do, assume that he cannot do it. Whether it is running catching, etc. Pro coaches are not there to teach. They are too busy with what they already have on their plate with no time to do so. It is another thing that is left up to the player to take account of. Most players learn from other players. Some, their learning curve is too great and will fall by the wayside. Time will tell. Andre Johnson has been schooling Nico all spring and summer, something that should have been done by assistant coaches in college. That is why they supposedly have them. Now, whether a player can be schooled is another thing altogether. I want players who help me to win my F league, and that won't be a situational gadget player because that is all they will ever be. Good day.

[@WalkingFree-eo8mc]

@@annetteavery4930 nice to see someone who actually analyzed the entire situation before making a judgement on DJ. Then the dude goes to his first playoff game and sets an ALL TIME NFL record! Think about that. That’s all quarterbacks behind him since the inception of the NFL. How many awesome QBs were behind him bro! Something to think about there. No credit where it’s deserved with this guy on television.

[@metropcs1976]

Hyatt was the best receiver in college last year. 15 Tds. It's crazy how these ppl overlook the obvious.

[@JasonLewis544]

You do realize that's Steve Smith. One of the greatest WR of all time. You don't look at final stats to determine a WR's talent. You look at film and how that player translates to the NFL.

[@jonathanolson6718]

Steve he’s like 176 lb -Steve “that’s like after thanksgiving” 😂😂😂 man I love Steve

[@jhoaninfante6789]

He went up to 190

[@AlpinaDev]

Then proceeds to say we'll I was 172 when I was drafted

[@jakkeday1]

If the Giants can create some extra time in the pocket for Jones, then Hyatt will be awesome. I think their bread and butter will be the running game, lots of throws to Waller and then play action.

[@paulmysliborski4832]

Fortunately, the NFL game rules still have 11 players on the field for each side. It's funny to me how Steve or the other guys didn't mention the addition of Waller, Campbell, and the great pick (IMO) of Schmitz at center. Hyatt will be a speed decoy as a rookie until defenses start getting body-punched up the middle with crosses, hooks, and slants. And when they start bringing the coverage up to deal with that....... Look out. I see Hyatt as a rotational player in the opening weeks, with the occasional big catch. His growth after that depends on his ability to adapt to the NFL in a real manner. I think he has the perfect coaching staff for doing just that.

[@dannyjoe3343]

Well said. Couldn't agree more.

[@annetteavery4930]

I agree they got a lot of healthy solid recievers you also got Hodgins Slayton Shepard robinson

[@castroshamansha8800]

This was a pre draft analysis of wide receivers … this is just the Hyatt segment.

[@kutmulc]

yeah it's funny how they couldn't have possibly known he'd go to the Giants or who the Giants would pick up in the future! they really should dust off their crystal balls man

[@j38911]

this was before the draft

[@queens_villain9143]

Imagine being on the same team with Sterling Shepard and not learning to be more route discipline. He’ll be ready.

[@Amc825]

Underrated comment.

[@deenice9363]

I feel like we should have learned much more from this!!!

[@scattau41]

It was lazy analysis & Smith got in his feelings about Ted Ginn Jr for some reason

[@frankgraham1996]

Hyatt is not a shifty route runner .....but watch him run a slant and take it up field... he can be a weapon .... but he cannot be the only weapon you have. He will be in a mix of receivers.

[@2kolbe010]

Exactly.

I cant remember knox putting 5 tds up on Bama ... i could be wrong

[@jimmorrison3830]

Can we talk about his hands🙌🏼. Does he drop passes? I don't think so

[@backpacksash4866]

absolutely. Sure handed and not a body catcher like so many others...Great hands and I can't wait to see it with the GIANTS soon

So how do Ds scheme for a WR with 24 mph speed? Already saw how Kafka will manipulate the formation so a safety or weak CB is lined up against him...a slot nickel is gonna bump him????

[@emichels]

Hyatt is more like Mike Wallace than anyone else.

[@jaydab]

Everything Steve Smith Sr. said was spot on.....

[@jaybeswick9062]

False

[@s1hiem]

His speed creates routes bcuz they have to play back from him and a quick slant or curl every now and then and since he can catch will make him if not dangerous effective.

[@jay_five]

Can we get an analysis on Rashee Rice from Steve? Been waiting on this

[@wardog211]

He has an analysis on his own youtube or ig page that you can look up

[@SKPanda1915]

Whats Steves thought on the Hyatt TD on Rowe? 😲 an OC that matched Hyatt against their FS, seemed like he fooled Rowe with his dip from the inside shoulder

[@purrpleciity1]

Dude will run routes comebacks,deep, slants etc

[@GlennesEcho]

Look, I don’t know what the hell the big deal is with is drafting this wide receiver. At the end of the day, you want your wide receiver to a point guard in pads. That being said! Hyatts speed is there. His weight is there to because you need your wide receiver to be speedy as hell. Especially for the Giants who have drafted too many slow receivers in its time. Speed on both sides of the ball.

[@MikeJones-zd6xi]

Oh please! Smith hates the giants and has publicly said so numerous times. There is no way he’s ever going to be be complimentary towards any Giant. He hated Eli, Gettleman ( ok, maybe he was right about that one), Saquon and said OBJ was overrated, and so on. So of course before even clicking on this video I knew he was going to e trashing Hyatt. Steve now that your in the media and an ‘expert’ it’s time to put the old feelings away and e objective in your analysis.

How is it bull? There are good and bad route runners. Hyatt isn’t good at routes which was one of the reasons he fell in the draft.

I suggested to Giants fans they should draft Wilson last year and they called me stupid, lol
