This was one of the very first things the two of them discussed when they spoke on the phone the first time. Jacobs was terribly misused in Vegas; there was just no excuse for completely wasting a red zone weapon like Jacobs in that way.The night we signed him, I spent  over an hour watching video of him  catching footballs, and I don't think i saw him  make a single mistake or bad decision. He has soft, sure hands, perfect body control, great peripheral vision, and almost flawless technique. He looks the ball all the way into his hands, and doesn't turn downfield (or even look downfield) until he has the ball secured - but the instant the ball is tucked in and he looks downfield, he  knows exactly where he's going to go, and he accelerates instantly. Doesn't waste a single half-second or half-step collecting himself or thinking "OK, now what do I do?". He already knows, and just takes off.This guy is going to score a lot of touchdowns.Lloyd appears to be one of the top receiving backs in this class (if not the top), and I don't think that's a coincidence. I think we'll be throwing a lot of footballs to our running backs; DCs are just not going know where it's coming from next.</blockquote>
