The way that he high pointed that, instead of letting it get to him was brilliant.

If he waited on it he possibly has a TD but he showed he cared more about the 1st down and the team. He is impressive as a player and as a person. I thought he had a great game vs SF last week too. I had high expectations when we drafted him and he has exceeded those!

Agreed. Looked like a Center going up to get a rebound that he knows will ice the game. Loved the aggression, the high pointing of the ball and securing the catch.
DK had an absolute monster game. IMO it was just a matter of time until he had a game like this, we've been seeing the progress and his ability through the season. Felt like he put it all together yesterday. We're so lucky to have a WR built like he is, both mentally and physically. Dude has insane potential.

"Dude has insane potential."
I thought when we got him he would become a new version of Atlanta's Julio and games like he had yesterday would get to be a norm for him. That appears to be the course he's on.

Normally WRs take time transitioning to the pro game, going against pro DBs every week, etc. Metcalf's regular-season stats put him #34 among all NFL WRs, which is just fine for a rookie.John63":2duhzqwi said:RolandDeschain":2duhzqwi said:I wouldn't put that on him so much as I would put it on our offensive philosophy. We are always near the bottom of the league in pass attempts.John63":2duhzqwi said:I really liked the DK draft. All that said lets see how he is next week, During the year when he had an incredible game he disappeared the next. Consistency is tough for any rookie.
We through 30 times today we avg over 30 a game. So not an excuse. Hopefully his up and down changes
Today his 160 yards set the NFL record for receiving yards by a rookie in a playoff game. That it came on only 7 receptions, means an average of almost 23 yards per reception, which is pretty phenomenal.
The other 5 rookies who have played in playoff games this year had 92 yards on 6 receptions, combined.
