Hearing Norcross (Ga.) WR Jason Croom had a great visit to #Tennessee. Visit was short, but may have set the bar for #Miami & others

“I liked it a lot at Tennessee,” Croom told InsideTennessee.com. “It was a great trip, I learned a lot about the Vols today.”

“He is a great coach,” Croom said. “He has coached two of my favorite wide receivers in Randy Moss and Chris Carter. He is very easy to talk to, very impressive coach.”

“Right now I don’t have a top five,” Croom said. “I’m looking at a lot of different schools, I definitely plan on coming back to Tennessee for another visit.”

Really?? Reading coverages and calling audibles happen 'pre-snap'. Explosive separation and route running comes after the snap. Catching the ball and scoring with it comes after that. Seems fairly straightforward. Although I guess you could catch a pass before the ball is snapped. You would have to be Rod Wilks though.

When I pay my rent, I pick up a pen, then I fill out a check, then I turn it in to the leasing office. Clearly, picking up the pen is the most important part because it comes first.

You can make all the correct reads you want, and it makes no difference if you don't catch the ball.

Doesn't really make a difference what order it happens in.

I think this is just wrong. A good QB can put it in the hands of a receiver not creating separation or running a lousy route. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing a QB put it in a receivers hands, and he drops it. If creating separation were more important than catching a ball, then we would just go recruit all the winners of the 100M in state track meets.

Well say what you will. There is some room for different philosophies here but the kid said himself and as a former receiver myself, knowing the play and the route was most important. Most passing plays are about timing and the qb needs to know where you are going to be to put it where he needs too.
