I am not disregarding his value as a run blocker. He has a flashy block almost every game. Just reminding folks that they also pegged him as the next big thing and that they should be cautious in creating these grand expectations.

He's growing as a receiving option, how's his blocking?

At first I was pissed he missed the TD against the Falcons. I thought he dropped the ball, but the defender made a great play.

The guy is 6'6" 228 from a small college.
If he ever learns to block on a nfl level he will have been a steal.

A couple weeks back one of the best fantasy analysis guys, Evan Silva, mentioned the coaching staff was very high on Arnold and to keep a lookout for him.

On Josh Hill, everyone was expecting him to become our next great receiving TE, and he looked like he maybe would be.

But instead his career has gone the other way. He turned into a beast of a blocker (when imo his receiving skills started better), but has long plateaued as a receiver. He is also great on coverage teams.

Now Arnold does look like he could be the next great receiving TE. The catches he makes are far more impressive than anything Hill has done.

I totally agree with this statement.


The Atlanta DB punched the frick out of that ball.


Dare I say the great Jerry Rice may not have held on to that ball.

I have a pretty good vocabulary, but you just added to it.

I guess I could have used supernumerary.

I knew superfluous, but supernumerary?

I'll take a stab and guess a greater number than is needed.

Edit:
Looked it up. Close enough.

The Josh Hill experiment is coming to an end.
Way too many dropped passes.
