You would think he's so much bigger than that! Marshall said it perfectly last night, "he's got the strongest hands on this roster". Guy can flat out catch the ball. Unlike that idiot Stephen Hill, Enunwa goes up and grabs the ball out of the air. When you have a guy doing that, he's gonna be something special for many years. You can't teach that kind of talent. We hit gold with this kid
He is prolly my favorite player on this team right now. I really hope he continues to grow. Cant wait to see his highlights on the Huskervision jumbotron at Memorial Stadium during the game against Oregon tomorrow when they do the "Huskers in the NFL" thing.
Reading that thread...@abyzmul posted: "Ik Enemkpali. So what's this guy's nickname going to be? Because I'm never typing that again." Famous last words.
You say he can flat out catch and you can't teach that? Yet last year, he had many drops. A lot of them routine. Guy has taken a major step forward this year and has become a dependable pass catcher. In the preseason, i had thoughts of Robbie Anderson taking his spot because of Quincy's unreliable hands. Q is a very pleasant surprise which further deepens our WR depth. Evidently.....you can teach a guy to catch.
Enunwa is absolutely feasting thus far through two games and looks to be our most improved Jet. Sometimes it really does take these WR's a good 3-4 years of development in order to tap into their potential and just like Jerricho Cotchery broke out as a 3rd year player, Quincy is beginning to do the same as an emerging 3rd year player. One thing I've noticed with our younger receivers, is that outside of Robby Anderson (Temple) they all come from historically big name college football programs. Enunwa (Nebraska). Jalin (Ohio State). Peake (Clemson). Smith (Ohio State). It's great to see Enunwa making a name for himself especially after Amaro didn't work out as our expected pass catching TE.
During the first half, I assumed that the Jets catches were being sponsored by Enunwa... Kept saying his name.
All the experts predicted (made it known) that 2014's rookie WR class was as great of a receiving class as there's ever been. Enunwa may have only been a 6th rounder but if he continues to come into his own as an X-Factor it'll be a good feeling just knowing that our franchise got a piece of 2014's WR draft class (because of Enunwa). We all craved for the likes of a Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Odell Beckham Jr., Kelvin Benjamin, Brandon Cooks, Marquise Lee and/or Jordan Matthews but unfortunately walked away empty handed. We've also been disgusted by watching Amaro fail while the likes of Allen Robinson & Jarvis Landry have both impacted. Don't look now but here in year #3 Quincy Enunwa has emerged (from that draft class) to the tune of putting up 13 receptions for 146 receiving yards along with 1 TD reception. To go along with a catch percentage of 92.9% while doing so; which is absolutely incredible. Amongst the great class of 2014's rookie receivers thus far through 2016 Quincy Enunwa ranks... ▪1st in catch percentage (92.9%) With Jarvis Landry being the runner up at 73.9%. ▪2nd in receptions (13) behind only Landry & tied with Benjamin. ▪3rd in catches of +20 yards (3) behind only Landry/Matthews & tied with Robinson & Hurns. ▪4th in TD receptions (1) behind only Benjamin, Cooks & Evans. ▪5th in 1st down receptions (8) behind Beckham (9), Matthews (9), Landry (9) and Benjamin (11) while tied with Evans (8). ▪7th in receiving yards (146). As far as being 7th in receiving yards he's only 13 yards behind Beckham Jr, 23 yards behind Evans, 39 yards behind Matthews, 50 yards behind Landry and 53 yards behind Benjamin (Cooks being the only one over 200 yards, at 211). When compared to WR's selected during the 2014 NFL draft (here in 2016) Quincy Enunwa is rated as a top 3-5 WR from that specific draft class. His run blocking ability makes him an even bigger threat. If Enunwa continues his emergence Fitzpatrick could have the keys to the NFL's most dynamic offensive attack featuring the likes of a trio of WR's in Marshall/Decker/Enunwa with Forte coming out of the backfield and Enunwa himself could emerge as 2014's diamond in the rough. Throw in a young (athletic) Jalin Marshall only 21 years of age and I've never once been as excited nor intrigued about a Jets offense as I am with 2016's version.
His style of play is down right tough as nails. He plays with a Marshawn Lynch/Chris Ivory type of beast mode style of play at the WR position.
I have to admit, I thought he sucked last year. Way too many drops. But something changed in the offseason because he's playing insane now. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
yep, you can teach a guy to catch absolutely. Enunwa always had god given strong hands he was just trying to cradle the ball too much. He has learned how to properly catch the football and use his hands every time. Coaching has helped him. Fitz said last week that his hands are so strong its almost like he is going to pop the ball when he catches it! Hopefully the first 2 weeks are a sign of things to come
I think I remember reading an article where it said that another big aspect of Enunwa's improving was working on his focus. It said that he always has been able to make great circus-type catches, but would drop the easy ones. That's where his biggest improvement has been (at least according to the article).
Jets looked meh without on the field last year. If Quincy keeps this up, I might buy another Jersey. 2 Jet Jerseys in 1 year, something you wouldn't see everyday.
And the guy is a very good blocker. He isn't big enough to be a full time TE, but I'd like to see more plays where he is moved more inside and J. Marshall/Anderson are the slot receiver. Then Quincy would face a SS or LB instead of a nickle back and do even more damage. Kellen Davis is a big and strong blocker, but I am faster than he is. And I am 62 years old.
If Marshall does not play or is obviously limited this will be a big test for Quincy. Can he handle and still get open being a number 2. Hopefully Marshall plays and we will not have to worry about it.
That's the next big step he needs to take if he wants to be an elite WR. Right now, he's beating 1v1 coverage pretty easily as opposing Ds are rolling coverage towards Marshall and Decker.
