Isaac TeSlaa's Slow Start to Lions Camp Casts Doubt on Year 2 Breakout

The red zone brother. TeSlaa is a big piece inside the 20 to 30 yard line area cause he can jump over top of corners and safeties and has great hands. His skill set on contested catches is something that St. Brown and Jamo really ain’t good at.

I like it. The top 3 all have different strengths and weaknesses.

St. Brown will embarrass a nickel with his route running.

Jamo terrifies safeties and corners with his speed and YAC ability.

And TeSlaa can posterize you in the red zone and run block like a mad man.

Now it might be the koolaid, but I think we have the best WR unit in the nfl

Ok I can dig that, having him and laporta in the red zone is a very good combo.

I think we gotta be top 3 wr group in the league, I’m not super familiar with everyone else but I remember a post a few weeks back and ours are definitely right there with the best

Also and I hate to even mention it, but we have been super lucky with St. Brown and Jamo staying healthy. TeSlaa would be even more important if one of them misses time. Which as we know happens often.

Oh yes, if I didn’t earlier I want to emphasize the “when healthy” part, when everyone is healthy he’s option 3/4/5 but yeah, we have been lucky with those two, especially considering how badly the rest of the positions have been hit by injury

Oh, no! Another wasted pick…who downfield blocks with the best and caught 6 TD’s as a Rookie.

Obviously, that piece was written by a Bears fan.

You are right! And hey maybe if we keep 5 WR he makes the roster.

Then we have to cut him, put him on the PS squad and call him back up at least once b it preferably twice within this season so he can officially get his Andre fluellen club membership!

Add LaPorta and call it best receiving unit, Rams WR (Puca and Adams) are a wash

Isaac will be just fine. Practice players come and go, but TeSlaa is a gamer.

Our #5 receiving option (behind ARSB, Jamo, Gibbs, Laporta) isn’t going to see a ton of balls thrown their way.

I just watched that yesterday, for 134th time.

Moadeeb!

I could look it up but you guys are the best. I cannot remember the name of the late round guy from N. Carolina who got his neck and head rocked on the sideline in preseason and I believe ended his career. He showed flashes and I was pulling for him hard. Then it was all over in a flash.

A little insight into TeSlaa. He does struggle getting off the line, stride is too long. BUUUUUT Roc (who has been covering him a lot so far) and company have been extremely handsy with him. Meaning, that this idea that he is struggling is a little (alot) overblown.
