Re: A closer look at Miles Boykin
Interesting to see them use Miles as the jet motion guy, i think he'll still be the "X" more often then not though.
We talked about it last year season or offseason, how Miles had the tendency to go the ground when making catch unnecessarily. You mentioned the CLE, but there was also the sideline comeback vs the Zona, and JETs TD.
For me the three areas that will be the make or break differences are related to finishing catch process after the break.
-be aggressive out of the break and drive/explode to the ball {may need to focus on chopping his feet more or shortening up stride length out breaks}
-don't unnecessarily dive/lunge or leave your feet in the catch completion process....keep your legs/feet firing and accelerate all the way through and to the ball, let your legs get your arms/ hands to the ball
-mentality: he's got to go after the catch w/ more confidence, desperation? want to? ownership? passion? desire? ferocity? dog?"Those corners...and those safeties are going to be one-on-one... and we got to make them pay for it," Harbs

Re: A closer look at Miles Boykin
Good point. Imagine if he would have made that RZ, endzone opportunity. So much potential (DK Metcalf-esque) w/ Miles but he's so raw that he might not maximize it til next year if at all. But, I definitely still have faith and high expectations for Miles this season.

Re: A closer look at Miles Boykin
Q1, 05:34, 2nd & 9.
First of career-high 5 targets for Boykin. Looks to me like Lamar decided to go to 80 pre snap. A lot of space, no safety, no LB outside the hash. Boykin hits the backside slant for 14. Plus, he runs through the catch!Shared Google Folder with Ravens spreadsheets, nextGen charts, and more! Please share my content! (attribution to Twitter requested)

Re: A closer look at Miles Boykin
4/38 today, keeping on pace for a 48ish/592ish season. He’s contributing via the pass and doing nice work as a blocker, no complaints from me on MB’s development so far.

Re: A closer look at Miles Boykin
He's a great 3rd option imo. As you point out, willing to do the hard work when called upon. As someone upthread pointed out (ed maybe?), he's there when teams overplay Andrews and Brown.
That 5th target today? He's open on a curl, but Watt knocks it down (Q4, 13:26). Otherwise, 5 catches on 5 targets for ~45. It's another backside look, on 1st & 10 this time. Ricard motions across, so it's 2x2 rather than 3x1. I'm guessing they knew they could attack this corner (whoever it is).Shared Google Folder with Ravens spreadsheets, nextGen charts, and more!

Re: A closer look at Miles Boykin
Play-action "spot" route
Interesting note: this is not a full field read but rather a pre-snap 'choice' with 2 different concepts on each side of the field
And Lamar chose the (R) side read w/ Boykin as opposed to the (L) side read w/ Hollywood who turned out to be wide open"Those corners...and those safeties are going to be one-on-one... and we got to make them pay for it," Harbs

Re: A closer look at Miles Boykin
The next step for Miles.
A look at a couple of open non-targets:
Boykin open for the curl top left near sideline- target/catch went to Andrews
Mirrored route flat(hitch/short curl) on the outside and slot corner routes {SMASH}
Lamar misses throw high to Hollywood by the (R) pylon.
From the TV feed Miles looks equally open from the (L) slot."Those corners...and those safeties are going to be one-on-one... and we got to make them pay for it," Harbs
