1. Phillip Dorsett II can fly.
And as he has actually done throughout camp, Dorsett flaunted that speed once again on Thursday, but among the more interesting elements of that speed that was on display on this day wasnt so much the capability to get open deep, however rather what his speed, and the risk of it, can do to get him open on intermediate paths. Dorsett, who is competing for the No. 3 receiver spot behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, did flaunt his elite straight-line speed at times, however most of his catches on Thursday were of the intermediate and short range, in some cases arising from protective backs giving him a great deal of area to respect that speed.
” Hes the fastest man weve ever had here,” Carroll said. “He runs in the time realms we do not even believe truly exist, 4.2 s and stuff. In our systems with Russ, the way Russ likes to bomb the football, hes a huge factor for us. Were simply installing stuff in the next couple of days that really emphasize those kinds of plays, and Im really nervous to see him fit in. Tylers been extraordinary at that things in the past, and to have the enhance with all of that speed on the field at the very same time– DK and Tyler and Phillip, its quite dynamic. Hes doing actually well. Hes supported (the defense) a couple of times.”.
Prior to Thursday practice, Carroll made a quite strong statement about receiver Phillip Dorsett II, who Seattle signed as a complimentary representative this offseason..
