THE ONLY thing you can knock Dzuris on right now is his speed.
That is it. End of Story.
So he's as underrated as Louisville's Lamar Jackson?
Sure.
Riley just said he had the best game on the DL.... You can argue with me all you want, but when the HC agrees, maybe you should too?
Saying he played the best game does not contradict anything that anyone in this thread has said.
Do you feel like even though he is doing his job he has hit his ceiling?
Considering he is basically half-way (practice-wise) through his fifth and final year, yes, I think this is probably his ceiling.
His ceiling is looking pretty decent this year.
Like I said, he's a solid player. Plays hard. Is in the right spots (as far as I can tell).
But he doesn't seem to win a lot of one-on-one battles straight up. He's gotten some nice stats but they've mostly been benefits of being in the right spot at the right time. Freedom has caused much more havoc in the backfield but he doesn't have the stats to show for it. As was mentioned, it was really Freedom's pass rush that forced Prokup into Dzuris so Ross got the stats but it was really Freedom that made the play.
None of that is to say Dzuris is a bad player. He's solid but probably slightly above average at best. That will work for this year (it'll have to). But we need some more dynamic play at that spot going forward.
