Leb how's a guy who at the Open ran a digital 4.41 a possession wr? Help me out on your logic

Possession WR. A guy who tends to catch everything thrown his way. Possession....he catches the ball well. To have it in his possession, he must 1st catch it.

Lots of guys who run 4.4 can't catch a cold.

You're correct, sometimes it's best to let it go to not stir up any more trouble. Van will do well no matter what school he attends.

In you previous post you mentioned that "Dad is super salty." Was he upset about him not being able to go to UT?

Yes because he believes in CBJ and Thig is his guy. Also he hates everything the state of Mississippi stands for and that they are called rebels and still uses representation of a racist rebel flag but he said it's not worth the stress

That's not the definition of a possession wr but way to clean it up Leb.

Alright.

Like North, to me he is a possession receiver because he will go get it. He is very fast, but also catches it well.

Leonard Scott. I don't call him a possession guy. I call him a burner or deep threat. Nice watching him run by people, it's just usually without the ball.

possession receiver: usually a sure-handed route runner who will get the tough yards over the middle to move the chains. Typically not the fastest guy but the one you count on to make the play.

Sounds like a Van Jefferson to me. Jmo


Wait a second, I know why calling him a possession receiver is no good. He's not white!

Kidding. LOL

Dewayne Hendrix listened to his mama instead of following his heart to Mizzou. I'm assuming much here but a kid has to make this choice or he won't be totally invested.

Adoree may have hated Knoxville.

We also got pounded when Adoree visited (I want to say it was Auburn 2013. Man, I hate Auburn). He was seen playing around on his phone during the game.

Good for him for being able to get service in Neyland, anyway.

I believe I would try to plead my case for my son if I feel a certain coach teach and mold my son to be a better player than other coaches out there. I would ask my wife what's better for our son and being able to be close enough to watch him play. I have been married for 16 years and my and I have had some nice "debates" as do most couples but the important thing is doing what's right even if it's hard to do.

In my opinion he should listen to his parents pros and cons about schools and then make the decision himself. I sure hope he doesn't look back in a few years and say damn wish I would have listen to my gut instead of my mom. One day he will have to make decisions on his own cause momma aint always gonna be there. I think his mother is ruining his life by forcing him to go where she wants him to go. We know who wears the pants in that family.

Guys, I finally couldn't take it anymore and put Leb on ignore. First time I've used ignore. It's been great! I just chuckle every time I see that little grey bar go by that says "This message is hidden because LebanonVolunteer is on your ignore list."

There are two types of successful possession WR's.

The first type is a taller, big WR with excellent hands and a large catch radius. A guy that is a big target for a QB to see and dump it off to. Typically this type of possession WR is willing to line up in the slot and move around for matchup purposes and he is willing to go across the middle on crossing routes and drags and absorb the big hit while still hanging on to the ball.

The second type of a successful possession WR is a really quick player. A player that can not be pressed at the line and can get off the LOS quickly and get open. A shifty player with great quickness and acceleration...can get up to full speed quickly.

The one thing that both of these types of WR's have in common is both players tend to lack good deep speed, which is why they aren't playing the X or the Y position. If you have great speed along with the skill-sets i've described, then you are definitely balling out in the NFL or college. Guys that become good possession WR's have important skill-sets, but unfortunately they lack an important one which is speed.

Possession WR's typically have great hands, are unafraid of contact and going over the middle often, and they are reliable route runners that are always in the spots they are supposed to be in.

Just because Van runs good routes and he has good hands does not mean he has possession WR skills. All the good and greatt WR's have those skill-sets, they just also have freakish speed and jumping abilities as well. Van has very good speed and ball skills. He is not going to be wasted in a possession WR role. He will play the X, Y, and Z positions because he has the skill-set to play anything he wants.

In my opinion, I'd think the Jefferson family doesn't give a shat concerning your opinion of how they should operate their family. Their private business -don't ya think?

I just shake my head in disbelief every time one of you arse clowns pretends to better know what's best for a kid you never met compared to the folks who have raised him for 18 years???? :loco:

I was giving my opinion and you gave yours so now I shake my head in disbelief because you are just as much a arse clown as I am. I don't know whats best for the young man but I do know it sounds like his mother is forcing him to do what she wants him to do instead of being his own person and making the decision his self.

I don't see how doing what's right is not letting their son go to the school that's obviously his favorite because they have problems with the LB coach... NOT the WR coach (according to DeConley :p )

JMO, but mama had a 'problem' with UT long before she overheard Thig saying the infamous B word...

You think the Jeffersons have any interest what so ever in helping the world understand their internal family dynamics? Van appears to be a solid individual correct? Think he just lucked into that or maybe his parents raised him to be that way?

Again, this thread has slid into a bunch of arse clowns attempting to place judgement on the Jefferson's family dynamics via the internet.....sort of like web therapy except that's a satire and you idiots take yourselves seriously.

Get a life, raise your own children to adulthood, then come back here and tell everyone how much you care about their opinion of how you went about raising your children.
