Green Bay Packers novice broad receiver played 28 snaps, ran 15 paths and got 7 targets throughout his NFL preseason launching on Friday night in San Francisco. Doubs captured 3 of the 7 targets for 45 backyards and one goal.
Let’s break down his 7 targets to aid examine his launching:
Target No. 1: Doubs, lined up on the boundary, beats Ka’dar Hollman with an inside stem release and then stacks the cornerback vertically to keep downfield separation. Jordan Love’s toss is a bit exaggerated and inside, and Hollman’s contact midway through the path slows Doubs simply enough. It was a huge play missedouton. But Doubs was open.
Target No. 2: Nothing missedouton about this one. Doubs wins versus press protection from the slot, this time earning an outside release priorto utilizing pure speed to run past Tavaris Moore on the fade. Love sees it, tosses a great ball and the Packers have their veryfirst 6 points of the preseason. Pretty release, outstanding deep speed. Note: this is a principle/throw Aaron Rodgers loves to hit.
Target No. 3: Simple slant/flat idea. Doubs works inside the protection, the linebacker abandons the location to cover the running back and Love has a basic conclusion. Good path here. He worked upfield enough to get the corner to turn his shoulder/hips, developing the inside release.
Target No. 4: A fast 5-backyard out path from the slot versus off protection. Easy pitch and catch for a coupleof backyards.
Target No. 5: Once onceagain, Doubs develops some separation on a vertical, this time getting behind corner
