Serious Question

[cbatey1]

Is Callaway really slow? I'm not knocking the guy, he is one of my favorites on the entire team. But he is NEVER open. He makes some of the best contested catches i have ever seen but he never seems to just juke the defender and get open. I know alot of times that the balls are underthrown and he has to wait on the ball.

Most of our team is slow unfortunately.

No, he took a really hard hit earlier. Probably it.

Callaway is pretty quick. Watched him in high school. Got to get him the ball in time so he can make a move.

It seems to not be a speed thing, it is a reaction thing.

The kid is slow high school fast is not sec fast. This is just sad.

 

[TAF]

Entire Tennessee TEAM IS SLOW!

 

[Bleed-Orange]

I dont know the answer, but have you ever seen JG throw a receiver open or hit one in stride? That is at least part of it.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Callaway is faster than me.

Calloway is fast enough with staight line speed but doesnt have that change of direction quickness with the feet to go with it. Route running is more about being able to get in and out of breaks with lighting quick feet, as much as it is with just being fast.

This isn't high school, this is SEC football.

 

[MeanOrange]

He has not lost a step. The kid is SEC quick. Callaway and Jennings are the only two players we have that are good.

Part of problem for WR’s that makes them look slow is the fact they have to slow down b/c the QB throws the ball too late & way behind them....

This is the truth

 

[Volunt33rs]

Callaway is incredibly fast the plays don't favor him due to JG noodle arm, if we had an SEC QB you'd be impressed

 

[Panthro]

Callaway is not incredibly fast. He’s a good receiver, but in no way is he fast.

nah, he's a possession wr. so is jennings. palmer ur only deep threat that plays regularly but he drops the ball too much
