John from Riverside Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 And I think it is going to happen..... Hardy has a huge size and height advantage.....and Edwards is going to have to trust him to catch a few jump balls this week.
busterramsey Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Or not... Jenkins or Johnson maybe better. Edwards , I'm sure doesn't care of the pecking order of what appears to be a weak draft.
commish95 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Or not... Jenkins or Johnson maybe better. Edwards , I'm sure doesn't care of the pecking order of what appears to be a weak draft. Giving up after 7 Games.....Wow good thing you are not a GM in the NFL
lets_go_bills Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I think Edwards does trust him, and goes to him rather frequently when he's on the field. Trent is aware of the size mismatch. Hardy is just quite raw still. He needs to run crisper routes and adjust to the balls thrown his way, while using his huge body to shield the defender from the ball. Once he figures out how to use his body and run solid, consistent routes, he'll be an absolute stud.
kota Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Hardy is being timid. That is his problem. He is a large WR and not using his body against DB's who are much smaller then him. I don't know if he is thinking ot much about his route/adjustments or afraid to draw a penalty. He needs to start banging on the DB's more and going up for the ball. I keep seeing him waiting for the ball to come to him.
stevewin Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Hardy needs to be able to be a bit more diverse and be able to run routes, find seams, and get open on something other than the "jump ball"

Lofton80 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Kota nailed it. He is always coming to a stop on patterns. To his defense, Trent has not been that accurate in throwing to him.
lets_go_bills Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 You're right. Timid is probably the best word to describe him.
marauderswr80 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I watch highlights of Hardy in College then I look at his play with the Bills. 2 different players........Only time Hardy looked himself in college was when he caught that ball in Jacksonville.
John from Riverside Posted October 29, 2008 Author Posted October 29, 2008 like I said....Edwards need to go to him.... And as for the jump balls....you have to start somewhere..... Does anybody else here think Hardy might have "Moulds syndrom"? Remember before Eric explosed he was not beign productive and not gettign the ball.....and a lot of it had to do with not playing all out because the ball wasn't going his way?
