To build on what an earlier poster said, our number one option is whoever is open.
don't be surprised if he is headed for a redshirt. Hammy continues to be an issue. If he doesn't get in this week, I suspect that is what is happening with him.
his knowledge is really limited due to missed practice time. so even if he can go, very limited plays he would be available for.
Looks like Pig Howard is more game ready. Put Devrin in the slot, don't play Watson at all, I don't think the coaches trust Croom yet . He is not a good route runner, lacks speed and is a slow learner , but physically has unlimited potential. These are the reasons why he was not ranked higher in recruiting
I think Croom's mom knows and understands a lot more than you think. Most likely she appreciate CDD keeping a promise to not risk her son's health. He has a hamstring problem right now, pushing him before it's fully healed is just making things worse.
That out of the way, I think we will see three things, JH and CP are our matinee guys, true. But starting this game we will see the unleashing of a much improved Zach Rogers and the coming out of Jason(?) Carter.
I don't know enough about Alton to say much. But someone named "Pig" who is as fit as opposed to being just fat suggests some positive things. If you've every had to catch and wrestle a pig to the ground you know they're deceptively quick and darn strong. Handling them is anything but a piece of cake. Actually, you'd rather not have to deal with them if it involves chasing and trying manhandle them.
I want to believe our running game is real and will show up in Athens. But I do believe we will start this game to see the fuller set of receiving weapons. Perhaps this will be the age of the The Volunteers Aerial Circus, Inc.
Lulz. Mz. Terry errbody ready for Croomster to make his big splash. We know he's a colossal part of the game plan next season and needs to get his reps in this year to be ready.
It isn't about how "good" they may be. The point being raised was that freshmen aren't READY. Easy enough? When Hunter and Rodgers were finally allowed to take the field they had a big impact. I know there is a learning curve involved, but that is also the case with Patterson. He didn't know the playbook anymore than the freshmen did.So all freshman WR's are as good as Sammy Watkins? hahahaha
I'm excited to see what croom can do. It'll be understandable if he makes a few mistakes since he's young but I'm excited for his future here!
1) I TRUST DOOLEY with my kid
2) Hammy has nothing to do it; Dooley got plans for Croomster
3) Thank you for understanding me, and I know a hell of lot more than I would ever write on these boards
4) sit back and watch out for what's coming!
Go VOls.
