I wish that we're true, but I hated the Troupe, Maybin, Aaron Williams, Losman, Whitner, Johnny White, and Sheppard selections when they were made, too. We all know how those came out.
Wrong selection at the wrong spot. More pressing needs. This guy touched the ball 33 times last season and some of those were handoffs. He's gonna need 3 to 4 years to refine his receiving skills. I call it like I see it.
All that means nothing if he can't touch the freakin' ball. If speed were the only thing that matters than more teams would be signing track stars.
I bet anything he turns out to be a bum.
"Caught the ball well in the short field." The play I was referring to was a deep pass. I just watched the combine last night. I don't need to make stuff up.
The one good thing I did see on a deep route Goodwin had to slow down to catch the bill. The QB couldn't out throw him. Don't know who threw the pass, though.
I saved the combine workouts on my DVR. There was one throw in particular where the QB is supposed to arc the ball up high and the receiver has to track it down. Goodwin's head was moving right to left like two times and didn't come down with the catch. The pass was on the money.
To those that like the pick. Go see his combine workout. He had a very difficult time tracking the ball in the air. They even called him a "track guy posing as a football player". I agree.
It's quite obvious to me that the whole "move Stevie Johnson to the slot" plan has been scraped. If it even existed in the first place, for that matter.
TJ, and MG look like slot receivers to me. Woods and Johnson can man the outside spots.
The question is, was this all just a tactical smokescreen? Or will TJ or MG actually start? Or will SJ and RW man the outside on two wide sets and Stevie moves into the slot on obvious passing downs?
Which one do you think it is?
I'm going to say this one more time. The third round is no place to be taking these types of luxury picks when your team has so many other glaring needs. Period!
