Way to go Murph! Here is the stat from the media guide:He was an unappreciated guy here, he really put it all together in his last season as as a Vol. I haven't found the stat anywhere but I bet he holds the single season YPC record at UT
Come on OP...be better than that!
Josh Malone Ready for Breakout
As a lifelong Bengals fan, I really hope Malone blossoms into a solid WR. He reminds me a lot of former Bengals WR Chris Henry (RIP) who also had a knack for getting behind defenses and making big plays. Hope Malone does well enough that we can dump Ross who is a bad fit for Daltons game anyway.
I don’t think he was unappreciated. He just didn’t live up to his rating coming out of high school, but I think that had more to do with poor coaching and scheming than anything. I’m sure had he gone to a different school that he would have put up huge numbers.He was an unappreciated guy here, he really put it all together in his last season as as a Vol. I haven't found the stat anywhere but I bet he holds the single season YPC record at UT
It took him way too long to blossom based on his rating. But yes, it may have been Lyle.I don’t think he was unappreciated.

I was about 12years old. My friends down the street were from Cincy, I watched Boomer & Icky go to the Super Bowl...
30 years later I feel I've paid a price. The worst decade in NFL history my teens and early 20's, The Lost Decade, worse than the expansion Buccaneers first 10 years. They ruined my childhood. But I was raised right, and when you pick a team, you stick by your team.
I'd love to see Malone ball out. I think of all the guys vying for 3rd WR/4th after Green is back, Malone has by far the best measurables.
Our coach is in love with a coupe of the other WR's as they contribute more on special teams though. I think he's gonna have to outperform them handily.
BTW, this is probably Dalton's last year as a Bengal unless he has a balls out resurgence and outplays himself. I don't think we push a WR with Ross's upside out for a journeyman game manager.
BTW, isn't it bittersweet whenever you see a Vol end up in Pittsburgh?
