Lol yep. Who'd want the fucked up #1 seed, anyway?
"Congrats, here's the toughest opponent for you in the divisional."
I shit you not Brandon Stephens changed my life.
When Mark Andrews comes back, whether that be this season or next season, we need to use both Andrews and Likely on the field at the same time. They complement each other very well.
Likely has really stepped up. Some of those mental lapses you saw last year seem to be gone. He's great in the open field. Hands can still be a bit spotty at times but certainly wasn't the case against SF.
All of this is fun considering we know he isn't who we really wanted at the time he was picked. Very glad we ended up with him instead of Calvin Austin.
Likely played WR at one point and switched to TE, but he's better outside the numbers.
It's also another reason that Andrews and Likely should be used at the same time.

To piggyback off the recent points about Likely, it's clear that he's becoming more and more confident as the guy to step up in MAndrew's absence.

I wish we had likely over kolar, and Calvin Austin over kolar as well, so we end up with Austin and Likely. The kolar pick felt stupid at the time because we had bodies there and any TE pick felt like just adding a body, and if we liked Calvin Austin and we were high on Likely we should’ve been prioritizing Austin over yet ANOTHER tight end with Kolar, and made Likely that day 3 value pick at TE. Instead we end up with 2 TEs and the second one we picked was the good one, AGAIN.

I like what Kolar has been doing. I could be off, but he looks good blocking out there and when he catches a pass it seems it's to move the chains.
I really like Likely. I love seeing him work with some space.
Still think Kolar has been generally fine. Not sure Calvin Austin has much more value at this stage of their careers to be honest. Kolar might not be this all-world receiving threat but he's developed into a more than competent blocker which is what I would have expected in all honesty.

Nah, gimme Austin. I think this is a lot of cope.
so much of stuff like this is having lamar's trust too though
after this run of games and building trust, it's more likely that if andrews is back and we run some 12 personnel that lamar's more likely to look likely's way whereas when andrews was back in the past, likely ended up a becoming a distant memory
Season not over and we still could lose in our 1st game of playoffs but shame to all of those who wasnt on the boy side during the contract bs.. throwing their bad opinions, useless “ advanced analytics “ and all the other made up antics they all tried to use in order to further prove that they knew what they were talking about.
I mean he's done virtually nothing. One long TD this season that inflates the numbers that aren't even that good anyways.

Whenever andrews is back, I wanna see monken design play action passes where andrews runs the over route to clear out the deep shot to Likely. The andrews-over route is the most feared concept in the Lamar Jackson passing arsenal, it’s always on the deep safeties radar and it always draws the deep corner on cover 3. I feel like there is so much that can be drawn up from this as a checkmate kinda play call.
more likely rashod deep 1v1 on the outside with the safety biting on the over
that's why we picked Kolar. It's always the 2nd TE that is the best.
so far our 2022 4th rounders have faired ok. we picked Faalele, JAD, Pepe, Kolar, Stout, Likely
