When he was a junior he was 4th on the track team in LJ and TJ. He lacks athleticism, but he’s a smart football player.

Does Terry have an announcement set?

*If this was answered not long ago in this thread, please insult me personally/deeply for my transgression. *

Expand  

From what I remember, he does not have one set yet. Just sometime this fall.

Hey man, triple jump is hard. I tried it at one track meet freshman year and I looked like a fucking QWOP character.

Terry going to be a badass red zone target. Nice complement to Lockett 

Expand  

Lockett is a bad ass red zone target. 6'2, great body control, long arms, huge hands (From Gerry, not from personal experience). Suppposed to be one of the best WRs at going up and making contested catches.

the taafe being slow trope is really weird to me lol. Is it akin to the murphy being a fast qb because he's black? He is definitely small compared to williams or mcdonald but I think his speed is fine. I haven't been able to find a verified 40 time but his field speed is good from what I have seen. 

Expand  

BO&W answered. He's a 4.8 guy, but he's instinctive and he has a penchant for being in the right place at the right time. But he ain't catching anybody.

Hands are like 11" and uses them really well. He'll be a monster in the red zone. Gerry mentioned that 50/50 balls are more like 80/20 when thrown to him. Said he has the biggest hands for a WR he's ever seen. He, Ffrench, Wingo, and Terry is just unfair.

Very smart. Like I said, he has a penchant for being in the right place at the right time. He knows where to be and can help line up everyone else. He's definitely an asset, even if he's slow. He's a good problem to have until he has to run after somebody.

He flipped prior to Davis taking the job. Was also never recruited as an OL just saw the writing on the wall at the time and picked the better program for and coach.

Expand  

This must be some Mandela effect shit, because I distinctly remember him being recruited by Mack for the o-line and he wanted to play defense, and Saban offered that. Plus Saban is/was a witch in recruiting and made good on his promises to get his guys to the league. Mack had mailed it in at this point, so it's moot. 

But him flipping definitely stung. That one hurt.

Why is that?

Expand  

Because that's not how percentages work.  If a "50/50" ball is "80/20" when it's thrown to Lockett, then it was and is already an 80/20 ball.  It never was a 50/50 ball.

But a different pass can still be a 50/50 ball (even if that pass would be less than 50/50 if thrown to someone else).

Fong bomb for Terry. Nice. 

No Fong bomb for Ffrench yet, but Tom Loy put in his prediction. Unless I'm missing something regarding Fong

Bruh, I didn't say that, Gerry did. Take it up with him lol.

It works better if you think of “50/50 ball” not as a percentage, but as a metaphor for a pass into tight coverage.

That said, yeah, if Lockett pulls in 80% of those, it was inherently never a 50/50 pass, percentage-wise.

It's just fatkid being a pedant. The term isn't meant to accurately describe the play via math, and it never was. It's a colloquialism.

I've been on this board for a couple of years now. Not sure I'd rate humanity's levels of consciousness that high. 

Thumbs are pretty sweet though. They make hitting the space bar a lot easier. 

Expand  

I could also have used “less low” and, in many contexts, would have.

I agree that thumbs are useful. Hell, I’m posting from an iPad… they’re all I use to type. They also make the Hook ‘em easier.

Well, since we're wading in nonsense, I don't remember much convo around A'Shawn Robinson playing OL, but I do recall insistence from Texas' $9.95 crowd that Andrew Billings was making a huge mistake not embracing OL play. He's still in the NFL, so I guess he ended up alright.

There's always the chance of a Filsaime type recruitment happening, but Sanchez and the staff haven't seemed to like each other from day one.

Expand  

There's a whole season of ball, teams to shit the bed, and coaching changes to happen. I'm treating errbody like a possibility.

Nahlin put in a flip pick for Myron Charles to Texas. 60% confidence.

“After Florida St’s devastating loss, I have a strong inclination to think that maybe Charles will potentially consider reopening his recruitment.”
