The Seahawks actually got a deal because of the lack of production, maybe JS did stick to his number“He’s good off the line. I like his release,” Bumpus said. “He has a couple releases that he goes to that work, and the reason why they work is because he’s extremely fast so you have to respect everything that he does. I think that once he gets on a defender’s hip, he is gone. There’s a saying in the receiver world: if he’s even, he’s leaving. That is exactly him. If he is even, the next five strides, he is going to be gone. I love the way that he can track the ball on those deep balls.”
As for what Bumpus would like to see Shaheed improve on?
“The one thing I would say is that the timing going across the middle just isn’t there,” he said. “It feels like sometimes he passes by space, and when you’re running these crossing routes, rule No. 1 is you don’t pass through space unless there’s a route that is going to occupy that space. There were some times where I felt like him and Sam (Darnold) just weren’t on the same page. I think they can get on the same page. I think they will get on the same page. There’s potential there.”

We saw (Wan’Dale) Robinson get a bunch of money ($78 million over four years). Receivers were getting paid (Monday), but because he doesn’t have that production, he can’t ask for that. And I think that was the issue is that he was going out asking for the money that these guys are getting, but he doesn’t have that production.”
