Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Last year my daughter brought home the most pathetic sick looking pup home. We weren't sure if she'd make it but a year later this is her on the left. Her big brother Bear on the right...... And Canolli, a stray that showed up one winter in the center.

Bear looks vicious but this was just play. And of these 3, the cat, Canolli is the alpha. Bear and Juno both steer clear when he draws a line..... It's a strange dynamic.

Edit :

I posted this because it hadn't occurred to me until tonight that just last year this pup found us. A week ago a tiny kitten in need of care found us. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being called to a greater purpose.......I have some thinking to do.

Sounds like you're already serving a greater purpose.

Dobbs 4 Heisman said:
Those are all great possession receivers. You can be a star WR in the NFL and not be a game breaker. With that said, the best of the best wide receivers tend to have elite explosiveness.

It's why the 3 best WRs of the last 25 years are universally recognized as Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, and Calvin Johnson. All 3 were tall, fast, and could jump. Having every trait be elite makes you legendary. You can't be the best and not have elite speed.

And the standard people are holding Jeremiah Smith to isn't just that he'll be a good WR in the NFL. But people are calling him generational and in the category with some of the best we've ever seen. Well those guys tend to be very fast. They're just not elite in one category but in every category.

Last post about this because no one cares and you’ll always have some kind of justification for your standard nonsense.

1. Larry Fitzgerald is a first ballot HoFer and recognized as one of the greatest WRs of all time. Had he not played for the Cards he would be talked about more like your 3 favorites.

2. It is unclear to me what you think a possession receiver is. None of the guys I listed are possession receivers, especially Evans whose entire career has been based on winning deep balls and has a career ypr over 15. Julian Edelman, Hines Ward, JuJu Smith Schuster - those guys are possession receivers.

So - let's get some more baseball chaos going today except for our Vols. We need to drill whoever we play tonight. The rest of the SEC can lose, lose, lose.

Not concerned with Arky, our pitching situation is looking better. Proud of Anderson's work with Phillips mid-season. He is getting closer to getting a slide step worked out from the stretch, being quicker to the plate, and has focused on not being predictable. Paid off big time yesterday. Also, Anderson has shown willingness to call pitches backwards and getting them to pitch lower in the zone for the most part. Starting to see some good results from all of that.

Add in the bats heating up and better D - we could get on a roll.

Lost a little D focus at the end of the game last night - that needs to be and probably was addressed by the coaches. That has been a major problem all season - focus and players being willing to adapt at the plate. Hitters have to be WILLING to keep the hands in with level swings, go the other way and not pull every pitch. We have some talented guys that cannot seem to get that through their thick skulls at times and I know for a fact the coaches are working with them on it.
