It is. The fact remains if Zach Rogers had bloody stumps where his hands should be he would have about the same success catching the ball as he does now.

It's a shame because he can do pretty much everything else you want a WR to do at a high level except, you know, catch the ball.

The biggest play he's ever made is throwing a block for one of Da'Rick's big catch and runs against Buffalo

Seen Tino the other day...seems undersized for an SEC caliber running back but then yet again so do all our RB's so Good luck to him

LOL!!!

Tino is 6'0 200lbs & runs a 4.4, he is not playing RB he is a CB.

I've met Marlin Lane & he is not undersized. He is atleast 6'0-6'1 210lbs. Alden Hill is 6'1 225lbs, Tom Smith is 5'10 210lbs, Davante Bourque is coming in at 6'2 210lbs. Idk where you get that all our RB's are undersized SEC RB's. That's a incorrect statement.

Want to see something funny, just read the first 35-40 pages of hate in this thread. DY had more supporters than Thomas and I personally feel we've already recruited over DY.

I've stood by Thomas the whole time. Tried to tell people. Just wouldn't believe. I know that he has the talent. Stop doubting this kid!

Wrong position, and we have SEC sized backs.

you all don't understand what SEC back means... your looking at the offense and saying oh this is what we got the speed pistol scat backs ...sec backs pound the F out of the opposing teams...

and I know its the wrong position people were speculating earlier about him being a running back and I was putting that to rest...gosh before you all troll someones post with your omniscient selves* read "up" a bit.

...sure everyone must be...because no one on this forum is ready to accept the truths because their false optimism will always conceal the tangibles of our players...

Understanding the Tennessee offense is a pass happy offense at the moment now...running backs are play-fake decoys and 3rd and 1 specialist with the occasional draw..

Chaney is trying to fix the running game because he was supposedly going pass happy all last year till the 3rd game when J hunt went out and then the rest of the season was installing and getting the players ready for next season(2012-2013)...( and yes one player did all that) Chaney even said in an interview that after J hunt went down the total Gameplan for the year went out the roof so do not call me ignorant call your own offensive coordinator that... get your facts right and understand your team...Don't call out people. gosh..

Chaney is going to make sure that this year another injury won't stall out the offense...

On a Tino Thomas note...there is another mention of him in the VIP room. They say he is turning heads in winter workouts.

Not being an azz or anything but I think it's been mentioned. Tino will end as starter if he keeps up his work. It's not like CB slots are locked down. Plus Coach Sal loves bigger CBs. Looking for spring and fall practices.

As I said, the criticism of ZR is exagerated. The above line about "bloody stumps" is evidence. I remember seeing ZR making some very good plays. So why don't you remember them? Fans do that sort of thing. I react badly whenever a WR misses a catchable pass, so I can tell you that all of our receivers disappointed at some time. ZR has excellent hand/eye coordination. But the hands need to get stronger, and there's no reason to think that can't happen. It's what players are supposed to do, get better.

D-Rogers can have stone hands or not even try for a ball that is not thrown to his body and its OK for some reason. If Z-Rogers drops a pass despite diving or leaping for it he is ostracized as a war criminal by some on here. Sometimes it appears racist, other times it just appears ignorant. He is a VFL that is a big plus to his teammates that they respect highly. Get a grip.

Tino will be a great addition, really talented guy.

Cool. He's a VFL. But does he help us win football games? Y'all b**** and whine when we don't win.

Sorry, actually, don't bring this BS into Tino's thread. Back to the football forum you guys.
