Hey GREAZY, since you are his uncle why haven't you posted any videos of him working with his cousins in the Pros.... I remember you mentioning that.

I'd like to see how he has been improving over the summer. I think he is a very underrated receiver, he is definitely our most sure handed receiver. (I don't know why people blame the SC game on him, that game could have been won way before our last drive and others on the team choked)

Edit: Also have you heard anything about the new receivers from your nephew? Would like to know how they are progressing. Also, would like to know how the QBs are doing throwing wise.

That's nice to hear. I expect a lot from Brandon this year. Murphy seemed good in the O&W game so glad he is progressing.

What about the Freshman receiver Cedric Tillman heard anything from Brandon about him? I was thinking he might get into the rotation this year.

Lol you say all the things that need to be fixed and then say you don’t think JG is the answer? He is in my opinion the most ready to play QB on this team and most talented outside of Shrout. I wouldn’t put to much perspective on how JG performed last year into this year;that offensive line couldn’t block a high school varsity team if they tried. Having JJ back and a pro style offense believe it or not is going to help this offense big time. Run the ball effectively and play action pass over the top. I think callaway and Byrd are in for big years and I like that new JUCO TE coming in as well. We’re not as bad as people and analysts think

Good points! However; you do realize that when a q.b. doesn't perform as the fans EXPECT them to, then the most popular player on the team is the back up q.b.
When Peterman was playing, we were asking for Worley. When J.G. played poorly, we were asking for McBride, etc. etc.

Byrd has hands made of Bricks.... Don't think you see him in the 1 deep. He is a 2 deep receiver even with his speed.

He reminds me of that kid that played receiver several years ago. He was from Louisiana and could not catch a cold, but he had tremendous speed.
He ran a couple of returns back for t.d.'s Very ineffective as a receiver. He made the team at Pittsburgh for one season and was then out of the NFL.
Can't remember his name.

I hope he wins the Heisman and you don't wind up being the very first on my ignore list in the process. :)

If you ignored him, how would you find out that Brandon is the most disrespected Heisman winner ever? :)

Callaway and Jennings both can catch and hurt em deep if they focus and run the route disciplined. I doubt either of them have too much issue with pressing corners they're both strongly built.

Jennings has no problem getting off the line but he was not necessarily the deep threat who stretched the field vertically. He was always excellent on the intermediate routes and at making tough catches in traffic, tho. Malone was the deep threat on the 16 team.

Callaway has the ability to be a deep threat but he struggled mightily getting off the line on good press coverage. A year in the weight room and experience on the field should lead to great improvement here. I look for him to be that guy this year, while Jennings is making the tough catches in the middle of the field.

I agree. Ive always seen it as calloway or johnson deep, with jennings midway up the field with the opportunity to make plays with his legs. I think Johnson will be the underappreciated workhorse this season with mostly short passes with some big passes sprinkled in leading the team in catches, but with jennings and calloway making the big catches on 50/50 balls.

He just has about two issues. Catching the ball and catching the ball when he knows he is going to get hit.

He fixes those two things and he will be good.
