Seahawks Study: Slick WR Jake Bobo is a D*MN PROBLEM! | Lockett Trade?!

- Top Billin' analyzes why he believes there should be a changing of the guard for the Seattle Seahawks w/ regard to their WR corps with 2nd-year stud Jaxon Smith-Njigba being the clear No. 2 WR to DK Metcalf and surprise 2nd-year talent Jake Bobo being provided way more targets...which of course leads oft-rumored trade bait Tyler Lockett on the outside looking in or with a role that is reduced #Gohawks #seattleseahawks
/ @topbillinsports - กีฬา
According to Lockett- doesnt want to leave or be traded & would consider retirement instead because of his growing & very successful real estate company in Seattle. Needs to stay..& with Grubb in the building..& if you go 4 spread with Lockett, Metcalf, JSN, & Bobo could be a nightmare/ incredible to witness!! As always keep up the great work, Bro! Go Hawks!!
10 personnel is cool and all, but 11 personnel is what teams who win run because you need that physical threat of a TE to help with the run. And how much 10 personnel would be run in a game for that to even matter? 5 snaps?
@TopBillinSports totally agree..I'm just thinking 2min, gotta go vertical..I see Bobo sneaking/ being the hero with " that catch"...& I do like Fant..I just wish he was more Gronk/ Kelce like..& if that was the case this would be the #1 WR core no questions!
@@garysmart3586 - There's only 1 ball bro. The person without the ball has to still add value to the play. It sounds good in theory but eventually he won't be on the team. And all those guys were/are on the team, did any of that happen last season you're talking about?
@TopBillinSports I know..I'm dreaming/ in theory, I think Waldrons offense limited them/ held them back..I'm sure you saw that JSN clip..in a nice way he said he felt sorry for the Bears.
@garysmart3586 - Bro, I appreciate the comments, but I'm not trying to go down this. We don't know what Grubb's offense will do in the NFL to be doing the fantasy thing. I'll leave you to that and talk about the meat and potatoes of the sport. 10 personnel is asking for it in today's NFL where blocking is at a premium.
If you haven’t already noticed, Top Billing is the #1 Seahawks podcast on the air. This dude is the truth! He actually does his homework and uses his on the field experiences to give us the facts we need to know about our beloved Seahawks. He is absolutely the best out there. PLEASE 🙏🏻 do your part and show him some appreciation. Donate to his channel. The shit ain’t free. IF we want this type of quality, we must support him. Let’s show this guy some Seahawks love people!
he does great content for a handful of teams. he is a fan of football. he treats this as a business and sometimes is a hard man to have a difference of a opinion with. I do think there are some podcasts who have a bigger audience specific to the Seahawks.
@GodRockCafe - He said No. 1, homie. Having a bigger audience because that's your singular focus doesn't make you No. 1. And metric -wise, especially during the season, you can't find another channel who does numbers like me. I'm not a podcast either, I do film studies. You over here trying to Chatty Patty cry about differences of opinions and trying to step on my props from this dude is wild, man. Only with my Seattle content do you find this type of behavior. SMH.
Thats a fact .
Bobo is really underrated. I’ve been saying this since last year’s preseason. He’s good on special teams too.
Bobo could possibly have the best hands in that WR locker room. That 'top shelf' ability of his is definitely league upper tier for sure.
I love the breakdown, as per usual, and love your non-biased opinions of each of these players. Always spitting TRUTH!
And honestly, Lockett would be the dude that probably wouldn't complain about taking less snaps, he is the ultimate team player!
100% agree! I appreciate cats like you, bro! Real Rap!!!!
I was at the game where Bobo got his first TD. Slot left, tight split from 5 yards out. You could see it coming and they still couldn't stop it. So smooth...love to see this cat get more reps, especially in the red zone where Metcalf seems to underperform.
TLock is that savy vet leadership that wr room needs. That room is strong Jaxon and Jake. One more year of maturity for DK, and new hc shd be positive too. TLock had 79 catches in '23, JSN had 63 so expect that to even out. Bobo only had 19 so expect that to grow as well. Gruff gonna have fun with this group.
Great job, as usual!
I believe Lockett will retire a Seahawk after the season ends. He's been one of the best receivers in Seahawks' history, and personally, I think he ranks in the top 10 for best route runners in NFL history.
Go Hawks!
Top 10 for best route runners is a bit much, but I hear ya!! Anything on Bobo, though? That's the meat and potatoes of this video. Bobo needs some shine and some mention for his overall skill set.
It's gonna be fun to see what Grubb does with all the weapons he has available. The UW offense was on a whole other level, and the Seahawks have similar skill position talent. What the Seahawks don't have is the O-line talent of UW (relatively speaking of course). If the OL can hold up, this offense could be spectacular, with no real reduction in targets for anybody, as the total volume will go up.
Jake bobo is him love the coverage Murph like always 🙏🏽
Appreciate you my man and appreciate the Montana shout out big time! The Hawks actually have a couple Montana Grizzlies on the roster and I’m stoked about that. Patrick O’Connell even made it into a regular season game last year and recorded his first career tackle. Impressive as he was a udfa so making the team in the first place was damn impressive. Even had a glowing comment from Pete last year during mini camp. Have a safety from Montana State Bobcats too Ty Okada.
Thanks Murph for highlighting a much forgotten player like Bobo and your analysis on the Seahawks receiver room is right on. The problem is trying to not be blinding by the pie in the sky dream or the nostalgic prime remembrances sometimes getting in the way. While your analysis is here with what is what and not just the glitzy ad copies of empty promises. Keep up the great work and thank you for the continued Seahawks content!
Haha exactly, bro. Bobo needs some more publicity and certainly some more playing time! Dude has untapped potential for real, man!! Thanks for watching and supporting, LE!
Really like what I saw from bobo as a run blocker last year, prob why he’ll see the field more than expected w the new coaching staff.
I’ve been saying, Bobo is our best option for a corner fade in the end zone. We’ve seen that’s not DK’s specialty and Bobo is the next biggest receiver we got for that role. He’s got excellent toe tapping ability, he high points the ball and I hope if nothing else we see him as premier red zone personnel. He’s got the skills to be a real producer in this team.
Curious what your thoughts are on Laviska Shenault Jr? I’ve admittedly only looked at a small sample of his highlight reel but he looks like a serious YAC producer, showing some running back skills as well and not being afraid to lower his shoulder and run through a defender. It makes me really wonder how much Lockett is gonna be useful in Mike Grubbs offense given how Grubb likes to use screen passes and do a lot of misdirection pre snap. If we’re in 11 personnel and DK and JSN are the 1&2 then it might be preferable to have Bobo or Shenault for that last spot knowing those guys are so much more physical and willing to run through people. Lockett might be a liability in a 3rd down situation if he’s not willing to fight for the first down.
bro we been saying we want more bobo 😭😭 i hope it doesn’t take lockett leaving to get him more snaps but if we do go that way im sure they can step up but i really don’t see lockett getting traded.
man im also excited to see grubb get his hands dirty in the nfl GO HAWKS BABY.
Murfs the man have a good week yall
Always waiting for them hawks videos my dude. Appreciate you.
We be Grubbin at Genos serving up the Bobo Platter. Agreed with everything you just said Locket might do better now with less time on the field He comes out in the 4 wides who are they going to put on him? He has that knack for big time catches
I had the same realization about Tyler - that if pressed, we could make it without him thanks to the Bobo / Smith-Njigba combination. I don't want him to go. Hell, he took a home town discount to stay. However, that may have more to do with his local real estate business. I watch for the great analysis that you back up with film and commentary. LOL...I rewatch and share because of the comedy. Thanks Murf!
I'd love to see JSN & Bobo get more targets, those boy hungry. Love Lockett Launcher, but at this phase in his career he should be getting phased out (target wise) in favor of feeding the beasts that are JSN & Bobo. Can't wait to see how Grubb utilizes all these weapons, especially with Geno at center. This is why you are my favorite Hibachi Grill Murf, keep serving up these great breakdowns and analysis of the game.
Grubb definitely stepped into a great situation, for sure!!!! Thanks, Leo!
Would love to see JSN and Bobo play bigger roles. Eskridge might be moved to special teams with the rules change. Would like to see DK play out of the slot occasionally if only to punish DBs trying to help out their outpaced LB brethren
Thanks for giving Bobo his props! I listen to the game at work and Raiblealways has great things to say about Bobo. I watch the highlights when I get home and yeah, I was really impressed with Bobo last year and I was hoping he would survive this overhaul.
I know Lockett is starting to age out, and you're right about him going down quick after a catch, but he also was getting most of the clutch situations where Geno looked to him (I only remember one true drop by him last year). Tyler Lockett deserves to retire as a Seahawks all the way through, if for nothing else that he proves that he can still run a great route and clutch catch. With him as a #4, teams will sleep on him for that reason alone, and he will burn them.
I like this channel because he doesn’t play around the bush and is always straight up with his analysis of my Seahawks. His other takes of other teams are also really good. Keep the good work.
I love Jake BOBO he’s gonna be underrated for a minute because of how stacked our receiver core is
Lockette is clutch tho bro could have 3 targets and 2 catch’s going into the fourth and then he starts cookin out of know where
He was not as clutch last year, he had some weird drops. I think this might be his last season.
Good stuff Murph! Ryan Grub has got to be licking his chops with the toolbox he inherited! No matter who they lineup, weapons are legit! Give Geno a pocket and these Hawks should be very dangerous.
I think with Ryan Grubb, Bobo is definitely see more touches. Can’t wait to see what kind of offense he puts together this season 💪🏾
Gonna be very interesting to see how he crafts his attack, no doubt!! Lots of weapons to work with, that's for sure.
"Leave his ankles at deaths door. His ankles are in a vegetative state. He vegetabled his ankles." One of many gems in this video.
More Bobo please. Even DK has referenced Bobo's route running and how he talks to him about it. Thanks for the continued Seahawks coverage Murph!
All valid points Murph, thanks for the ongoing analysis. Great job!
Thank you, bro!!! Thanks for watching!
This will most likely be Locketts last year. Keeping him the following year would be a ~31 mil cap hit. I want to see more 2 tight end packages with Bobo and Dk. We should be able to run and use play action well with a combo of Brown, Fant and Barner
Not a bad idea, at all, but Smith-Njigba is better than both of them in my opinion.
If we keep Tyler, it'll be via a release & resign.
This video made me so excited for the season to start. Great job!
love from Vancouver, Canada my boi keep these videos coming. so glad YT showed me your channel man. fell in love with it first day
I appreciate the love, but judging by you asking me if I've ever done anything on Kenny McIntosh, then it's safe to assume Day 1 was within the last week?!? Lol
@@TopBillinSports hahah yeah day one was within this week
Appreciate all the work you do!
Your right cut Tyler's targets give more to the younger big three. Love from idahofalls, ID
Nice Basquiat style crown on the logo. Always great coverage of my Seahawks which I appreciate a lot having to deal with some of the short sighted 12s trying to trade away Locket when He already restructured His contract to be one final year which He will eclipse most Seahawks records
I agree with you 💯 love Lockett, but it’s mo Bobo that is what’s going to take us to another level. You don’t realize until you see him play in person how special this kid can be. Just hasn’t had enough reps to show the rest of the NFL world yet. But he’s a baller. I guess it’s a good problem to have until someone else gets him.
No doubt, my man!!!! Definitely a unique skill set!
I can see something happening with Lockett next year when his cap hit goes from $19M to $30M. The dead cap this year would be $12.6 and would go down to $4M next year. From a game perspective, I've heard of doing things a year too early is better than a year too late so it would make sense to do something now but I think it would have been better to have done it before the draft. There aren't many teams, if any, with cap room and although there is always a way to make cap space, there will still be less teams interested meaning the compensation would be less. I think that Schneider is one of the best GM's and he probably thought this through and the conclusion was a rework on the contract with the understanding that this is the last year.
With the type of looks Grubb likes to give the defense, Bobo is probably better/more valuable to that scheme. Lockett is still the more valuable talent, but Bobo can pretty much do it all outside of just running routes and catching the ball. Obviously it won’t show on the stat sheet for the value a guy like Bobo brings to that scheme compared to Lockett, but you’ll see things like 11 or 12 personnel with a TE like Fant out wide motion into a bunch formation with a guy like DK, JSN or Lockett at the point with the inside WR in off the hip of the tackle 3 yards off the line of scrimmage to throw in chip blocks to seem route combos, help in the run game, etc. and Bobo fits the part perfectly. Lockett will do his thing but Bobo is gonna be the unsung hero with his help in the run and making the tough catches down the stretch, if he gets the reps.
I wonder what Seattle would get for Lockett? Either he would go to a ring chasing team that wants that extra help, or he goes to a team with a young developing QB and depleted depth at WR. Both scenarios I feel like would get just 1 maybe 2 day 3 draft picks at this point in his career and the cap he carry’s
Thank you again for the content!
love the analysis on bobo thriving in those contested red zone throws, we seem to always force it to DK in situations like that and it typically backfires.
I seen Lockett take a big step back last year and was definetly okay with letting him go this off season.
Couldn’t believe that Pete seen what Bobo could do early in the season and decided stop just stop using him instead of more play time. When Grubb was asked about his new recievers he first mentioned Jake Bobo so I’m excited for that. Love your hawks content💪🏻
Jake Bobo has to be the most interesting wr we have imo. He's a team player and whilst I can see jsn is a superstar in the making I want more bobo too
With how good the relationship has been between Lockett and the Seahawks, and his pay readjustment, I feel like Seattle won't move him and let him ride it out here. He has a burgeoning real estate business here (and Texas? I think? So maybe Houston or Dallas if anywhere) as he's been preparing for life after football. With that in mind, I'm just glad we have a bunch of awesome receivers on the team!
00:58 < -- What did I say, bro?
@@TopBillinSports For sure! I wasn't correcting, just adding context :D 😇
Your breakdown/insight always on point man keep up da good work.
Thanks, will do!
I've been hearing that Mike Mcdonalds overall philosophy is that he wants his players to be multiple and confuse the opponent. We'll see if it applies to the offense and we don't know how good grubb is in the nfl, but i feel like having jsn and bobo on the field at the same time aligns more with the team that they are trying to build. Won't know anything till the season starts of course but I would be super excited to see jsn and bobo more involved in the offense.
Also two tight end sets with two really good blocking receivers in metcalf and bobo could give defenses trouble.
Great video dude! Go hawks
Been watching the Seahawks since Rice was a starter, and you're analysis is spot on.
This was a Cool one here. Yeah, a lot people they don't see him coming, and him on outside cause he does have route presents. Big Tall sharp hands if for some reason we didn't have LOCKETTE, Laviska.. in slot at 4WR Yikes. I don't what other options Maby Lavsiska can DO a Segment Murph? If you are able to sir. I know we just got him, but His Film Wow. As a 4 WR or whatever 3 WR rite.
Great content and analysis as,always Murph! Thank you I appreciate ya!!!
You rock, Jim!! Much love!!
Love your stuff man
Mannnnnn I’m excited!! That offense is crazy on paper I can’t wait to grubb at genos and let Howell learn and hopefully become our franchise qb
Great video man!
Appreciate it!
I can see a good mix this year with the new staff. Spread offense will benefit Bobo and the tight ends. JSN is ready to go off this year.
Thank Murphy! Coming from Washington State
Rock on, bro!
Bobo definitely impressed me as well last year. Love this breakdown of his route running skills. Mid range game beast. And with JSN getting Unleashed I think a trade would be smart. Even heard rumors that Dee is looking good in OTAs. For what that's worth 😅. One question, what do you think we could get in a trade for Tyler?
The hawks have so much damn talent. Hopefully the new coaching staff can find a way to make use of it
Top info from Top Billin!
Thank you
One thing we haven't hurt for in a loooong time is receivers. I love JSN and Bobo as our "young talent". I think there is immense talent yet to be ripened. Thanks for your Seattle coverage. Go Hawks!
I see grub implementing Bobo much in the way he used westover in Washington who is also on roster. I wanna see between the hash 8 to 16 yard exposed, we have the talent to do just that
Rockin a Bobo action green now
Damn you just switched my thoughts on the Hawks WR room. Always got the best views on team dynamics shit the best thoughts on all on football for real
Thanks, brotha, but what were your original thoughts?
Bobo is Steve Largent part deux. Not saying he'll have a HOF career, but there are similarities. Not blazing speed but an excellent route runner. Outstanding hands. More than willing to block. I hope he'll be used a lot more in our O this year. LOVE your channel, your knowledge, and your insightful analysis Billin!!! Sometimes I go around and say Top BIllin! when out and about. Got some weird looks for sure LOL.
No, he doesn't have to be compared to every white guy, man. Please stop this. He's like 7 inches taller than Largent and has a different style of game, man.
I appreciate you watching, fam, but there are better comparisons for Bobo out there than a smaller Steve Largent. Him and Michael Thomas are very similar in style. He also plays very much like a Keenan Allen. He's not a conventional route runner to be compared to someone as small as Largent, Scott.
@@TopBillinSports I defer to your expertise; I'm just a fan watching my beloved Hawks from the outside since day one. That being said, I'd like to see more of Bobo this season. Perhaps with our O line adjustments and aquisitions we'll have decent line this year so Geno has a moment to do his thing. Incidentally, plus-one member. Keep up the great work!
@@scottclark1839 - It's all to the good, brotha! Your Seahawks are definitely on the come up and Bobo can certainly help with that skill set!!! #Salute
I like the idea of this video
Hibachi!! Thanks for your hard work, insight, and reliably dusting countless herbs. Doing the lords work.
Thank you for the props, Dave!!! Appreciate the support as well.
"He vegetabled that man's ankles!" Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh!
we Need to get lockett over 1000 yards this season
Liking your own comment is kinda goofy, bro. The objective should be to spread the ball around as the Hawks have a ton of talent beyond Lockett. JSN can be his equal as soon as next season and I believe he's a better talent period because he's more physical and can run routes just like Lockett. Not as fast in a straight line but that doesn't matter. Give him an inch, and he'll take a mile. Having Bobo out the.. man, I already said all this in the video lol
love you Murff comments spot on bro as always
Much love, my bro!!!
that man was cooking the cardinals!
My thoughts on it is I don't think they'll trade him away. But I also think this could be his last year on the team.
This video is about Jake Bobo. The Lockett stuff can't be your only thought on this video analysis on Bobo and talks of them spreading the reps around more to him and Smith-Njigba.
Bobo and DK are a good pair because most teams don't have *two* DBs with the kinda size to man them up. I think Bobo could end up in a lot of situations with the third or fourth DB on him and he's just better than that.
hey Murf (peace man), .. i'm fine with Tyler going down and not taking a heavy hit .. and it's usually after a big catch way down field .. besides more than anyone one else on this team (so far), Tyler has paid his due's .. i know, pull those panties up and be a hitter .. Tyler is not the whole team all in himself, so it's up to the next man to hit a home run .. i'm one Top Billin Villan 12th man .... happy four of july to you my friend .. no doubt that 'hibachi' going to be cookin at Murf's
Merf, the reason Tyler Lockett goes down so easily is, obviously, he doesn't want to take sa big hit. Let me say I've got nothing but respect and admiration for the man. About 7 years ago he had a severe injury that just about shattered his leg. He had to have screws put on his leg t make it heal. After that he wasn't the same player. He used to return punts, and was very exciting and was a leading punt returner in the NFL. All that changed after the horrific injury. He's still a superb receiver. Can get open like nobodies business. But the days of Tyler Lockett fighting for extra yardage (unless the game is on the line) is behind us. All that being said, I believe he's got some of the best hands to ever grace the NFL.
Dude, what leads you to believe I give a shit as to why he lays on the ground? Read the room. I literally said it in the video that I don't care. This is about Bobo and what he can bring to the table.
Man i hate that your 100% right
But don’t forget leviska shenault
Love your analysis brother!! I'm glad you took the hawks as another team to break down! I hate to say it but I agree with you in terms of the hawks being better off without Lockett. LOVE that dude, but I think the trio of bobo, jsn & dk is better than jsn dk & lockett.
Thanks for watching and responding, but I didn't necessarily say "better off," but I do believe they wouldn't miss a beat and there will be value added in other aspects of the offense with an elevated trio like that. However, I also acknowledged how good the guy is despite being softer than a toddler's ass because of his route running and hands (at least when nobody is around him). It's a great problem to have because he's closer to the end than the beginning.
@@TopBillinSports oh for sure, Lockett is a fantastic reciever. But I'd like positive YAC numbers from my 2nd outside reciever. And a meaningful run block once or twice. Would I like to see him not a Seahawk? Probably not. Would it break my heart? No.
I love me some Bobo... What do you think about him adding some weight and working at TE with Fant?
He's fine at WR. Why would you smother someone's agility with that type of footwork by putting him inside and having him deal with linemen and linebackers? And if he ran a slow time, asking him to put on 40 pounds may be insane. He's about to be 26 years old, too, and is only 207 pounds.
Don't know how I missed this. Excellent presentation.
That clip that you showed of tyler going down hasn't happened too many times. He thought that's where the first down was and he misjudged it. He's been pretty good Getting the first down and getting down and protecting himself, but shit happens. Man at this stage of his career I don't blame for going down, especially if you want to play longer.
Please Hit "don't recommend channel." Thanks. I don't need grown men making up weird stuff to make excuses for a grown ass man flopping on the ground. I ONLY want Real Football Heads here. Thanks
twitter.com/NFL/status/1787995803757535532?t=cIMlP9stvnAgj3xV5HE7mQ&s=19
And does this look like it hasn't happened too many times? SMH
UR "On the Money Murph" definitely an Embarrassment of Riches when you look at it. Lockett the long time Fan Favorite and BoBo the young blood Fan Favorite. Hope there may be a way to keep both. And moreover I hope the new Oline and new OC get things clicking this season. Fingers crossed!
JSN and Bobo are the future. Metcalf has a few more years just because how strong physically he is. Lockett has maybe 2 years before he's a #3 receiver, but he shouldn't be starting this year. Thanks for doing these videos.
Your no scout haha 😅
To think he's undrafted...man...I'm glad we got him
You think Shenault will be good in Seattle?
Would like to see Lockett become a wr coach in Seattle after he retires
I think this video is erasing the good will you guys were starting to build with me, as we haven't much annoying interactions lately. This video is about Bobo and why he and JSN should be elevated. I answered the articles who said that Lockett should be traded by saying I don't believe it should happen, but this was clearly about Bobo mostly. 90% of the comments are about Lockett, which leads me to believe you dudes are still only watching 1 or 2 minutes of the video.
it’s a great problem to have and eventually jake bobo will start to get more reps maybe even this upcoming season
Ive been saying this
We don't have the best #1 receiver in the league (Metcalf good but not the top tier) but we might have the best complimentary recievers, at least none better that I can think of.
If Lockett was traded, would we still get that huge salary cap hit next year? Would that be negotiable in the trade as well?
00:58 - I put the Lockett thing to bed and made a video on Bobo and all you guys want to do is talk about Lockett. This is wild.
@@TopBillinSports Yes. And you do an awesome job! Keep up the great work. We all know that Locket is not going anywhere this year. Bobo topic was fresh.
top billin have you done a Kenny McIntosh break down yet or no. would love to see a break down on him and what kinda skills he has seen some plays but nothing like a true break down on him
I'm going to assume this is your first ever video of mine, bro. I have done plenty of McIntosh and suggested the Seahawks draft him a video like 6 months prior to them doing it... Best thing to do on this platform is to search "Top Billin' (insert subject matter)," and then see if something has been done.
@@TopBillinSports yeah just found you 2-3 days ago bro been catching up on all your Seahawks videos
I think estridge has a lot of talent but hasn't been able to stay injury free. We have a really deep receiving core, and I think there might be more in are udfa's.
Do you think they could use Kenny Mc like a Deebo-esk role? He’s a game changer.
Deebo is a WE, so no I don't believe they would. Who are you going to take out to move him to WR? He's already going to run the ball naturally as a RB to begin with, but Deebo occupies a WR position on their team. JSN is the one who can do a lot of things similar to Deebo, if provided the opportunity, but Seattle is deep at RB, too.
Don't forget about Shanult
It's "Shenault," bro, and I'm sure you never even heard of the dude prior to him signing with Seattle now you're telling people to not forget about him...Anything on Bobo, the actual subject of this video, though?
Ankles at death’s door 🤣 Lots of options to throw to. Seattle no joke!
Jakey, Jakey ,Jakey !!!!
Can't sleep on Laviska he bring that heat too!
I loved Shenault at Colorado, but he doesn't offer the same type of skill set that Bobo does and isn't as good as JSN in my opinion. A solid No. 4, though.
I agree my man! I just like his physical mentality that Lockett doesn't have. Fighting for everything. Seeing some of his highlights while at Carolina I was like yoooo this guy wants smoke! 👊🏽
I appreaiate lockett.obviously .....but man after watching this and seeing what could be with bobo, jsn, and metcalf....i guess im saying if lockett has to go , im good with this kid. And ppl saying why nit have all of em ,well there aint no 4 wr looks going on in the nfl...this aint a madden game. Having all 4 will always equal 1 guy out. And so far that guy been bobo.
Lockett gave up $24m to remain a Seahawk and his salary hit next season is less than a night out at Dave and Busters. Still one of the best low-percentage catch receivers in the league and should be good for another 800 yards season in 24-25. However, as Murph Said, he goes down quickly after the catch, he's just too good at getting free (especially at the line of gain) to write off quite yet.
I believe Bobo has some of the best hands in the business and if he can get into space, will always be a threat. I'm 100% Mo' Bobo but in reality, I see him being a perennial 4th receiver, hopefully playing many, many years for the 'hawks, but he's as explosive as a bag of cooked macaroni, which will always limit his gameday opportunities
And you derived his lack of explosiveness from what, hearing the announcers mention some useless 40 time every game? Because there's no way you came to this conclusion watching the dude actually play in the NFL where he's getting by DBs with ease. Close your ears and open up nyour eyes and stop buying into lazy propaganda, bro. Can you point to an example of what you mean for me? Like, give me a specific game and tell me where Bobo was cooked macaroni against a DB?
@@TopBillinSports In a few Seahawks games, he was a punt gunner, without a single tackle to his name (Week 16 at Titans for example)
In that same game the "almost catch" (1st quarter) he made an excellent attepted catch whilst harrassed by both free safeties, but he was just a little too far downfield. If he'd had a little more explosivity there, he'd have pivoted a fraction quicker and not only been in free space, but also wouldn't have had to dive to catch the ball.
I don't see him getting past DBs very often, what I do see is him selling them short on routes he's running and leaving them facing the crowd when he's catching the ball inside the numbers. He's got limited weapons, he's putting them to incredible use, but he's just a little shy of being another "insert any elite WR in the league" but he's a phenomenal Jake Bobo and I can't wait to see him improve in his second NFL year.
@@Hawkskull - I applaud the effort, but you sound crazy to me.
You think everything is about the deep ball and just running fast, like a casual fan. Michael Thomas is slow as shit and was on his way to rewriting the history books, before injury, and even outpacing people like Julio Jones who are freak athletes because he understands how to run routes...
90% of the route tree is transitional routes. That's why slower WRs like Michael Thomas, CeeDee Lamb, and Cooper Kupp are dominating because there's an emphasis now on actual route running opposed to freak athletes who just run deep all game.
Let's be real: You see a white guy who they told you ran a slow 40 time and you can't get past that despite him clearly showing he has what it takes.
He's going to destroy people in the quick- and mid-range game and pile up catch after catch after catch if provided the opportunity.
The Hawks are getting recreated. NEW TEAM. New Time. We will see.
Respect and integrity. Keeping Lockett this year shows other players that they can trust the front office which saves money in the long term. Next year he will have to renegotiate or be released because no way he is making the kind of money he is due in 2025.
Keeping him was acknowledged in this video, my man. Elevating the younger guys was the overarching point even with him being there.
@@TopBillinSports true, just making another point about the front office. Love your work and your intro is stuck in my head.." top billin billing" all day long
That's no longer my intro, Sir, and hasn't been for a while...
@@TopBillinSports then what is said at :04 to :06?
@@kentwapostoffice1289 - "Top Billin' Villains..." I thought you meant the old one that echos "Billin' Billin' Billin'," which is now my outro.
Tyler had a life-threatening injury that meant he couldn’t fly home with the team, and one of the worst leg fractures this side of Joe Theisman. Up through the 2022 season, he was infallible making impossible catches, so if he didn’t gain a yard of YAC, he was still more valuable than 80% of the receivers in the league. I’ll take a living Lockett making catches over a crippled or retired one any day. (BTW, he had a visible dropoff last year, saw him drop half a dozen balls which feels like about his previous career total. But 🤞🏼 for return to form this year.)
But yeah - MORE BOBO!
Dude, shut up. I don't need excuses for why a man jumps on the ground nor is his leg fracture a secret.
Old dude from the Bills literally almost died and went into cardiac arrest on the field and came back still tackling.
And the Lockett fracture was pretty bad, but it wasn't even from him being tackled in a head-on situation. In fact, the chances of you fracturing your leg from a head-on tackle are pretty slim. It's drag-down tackles that fracture your leg, which NONE of the situations people point out with him are.
And Alex Smith had the worst leg fracture since Theismann, not Lockett, and he came back still scrambling and taking on the tackles of linebackers not little ass DBs like Lockett has to deal with.
I said in the damn video that I don't need an excuse because whatever the reason is THE RESULTS ARE THE RESULTS!!! SMH
Locket will not be playing for another team retirement is an easy choice if he chooses.
Who said he would? I certainly didn't, as I made this video about BOBO and why he should be elevated along with Smith-Njigba. I think I'm just going to block everyone who comes here acting emotional about Lockett as if I didn't say it would be in poor taste for him to be traded and then pivoted to talking about JSN and even a quick study on Bobo.
Anyone else they could just Han Solo carbon freeze themselves until pre-season?
Lolol. I'm definitely with that!!!
Damnit this is complicated.
Tyler restructured so a traded player would have to fit under that number right? Regardless, that price would easily bring in some O-line depth.
I think his team friendly deal keeps him around tho, and even though 4 mil is now incentive based, I think the team ain’t letting fruit rot on the vine. I don’t think Tyler is the type to wine about opportunities & will actually become the #1 supporter of his successor(s).
Anything about Bobo? This video is making me dislike some Seattle fans again because they are completely missing the point of this video. I said in the video it wouldn't be appropriate for Lockett to be traded and all I did was answer the "Silly Season" articles that ran across my timeline about him being in the trade block. I spent the rest of the time talking about Smith-Njigba and Bobo needing to be elevated.
@@TopBillinSports I knew I missed the main point about 5 seconds after I submitted that. Sorry to step in it, hope I didn’t get any in your carpet.
Bobo’s filthy. Chuck him the rock whenever you can. Bring on all the young bloods.
@@Oz_is_on_fire - lmmfao. All good, brotha. You're my guy.
Lockett reworked his contact twice, because he wants to stay. That would be dirty if they traded him.

I bet it is frustrating for Bobo but I feel great about having him there as depth. He could be tight end depth too with how big and physical he is.
He's 6-4, 207 pounds, he is tall but he isn't big enough to be a tight end, bro. He's an outside WR. Nobody would suggest someone like Tee Higgins be a tight end (and he's listed at 6-4, 219 pounds). You go from blocking WRs on the perimeter to having to block EDGEs who are 6-5, 260, and you're barely 210 pounds..
why would they put him at tight end? that doesn’t even make sense bro😭
@@tyy6883 because he is tall, and can block and catch. As depth the weight isn't that big of a deal. Now run along and kiss murphs ass.
@@TopBillinSports tee Higgins has two, nearly three 1000 yard receiving years and he is a starter. Bobo is not.
@@Flergenbergenhow tf does that translate to him moving over to tight end like tf are you even saying
