That sounds brilliant and I'm not a fb coach, too!Ok, so back in the day I genuinely said that tebow (may god curse his soul) should be drafted as an hb that would confuse defenses with a second throwing arm in the backfield. Milton could fill that role 100x in my opinion. I'm also not a fb coach, so what do I know.
To be fair he had a play to put us into position to win that game. He also had a pass in the end zone that should’ve been caught. The play out of bounds was dumb no doubt, I think it was more ignorance of the situation than fear of getting hit. No doubt it was stupid though.They way he dodged out at the end of that Ole Miss game, nah. No one in a drafting position would really contemplate that.
Tillman was the only one in position to make that catch. Tillman was just gassed. The throw was where it had to be.To be fair he had a play to put us into position to win that game.

Tebow loved contact and thrived on it. Joe mostly avoided contact for about 75% of the time he was here.Ok, so back in the day I genuinely said that tebow (may god curse his soul) should be drafted as an hb that would confuse defenses with a second throwing arm in the backfield.

Sometimes yes, but I mostly got the impression he was unsure of what to do in those situations, not that he avoided contact. But plays like THIS show he certainly can do it and is willing when the objective is clear cut.Tebow loved contact and thrived on it. Joe mostly avoided contact for about 75% of the time he was here.
Whatever the reason, that play defined all of the other mistakes he made while playing at UT. Yes, he is a special talent, but mentality and touch passes were not his forte. They would not allow him to throw over the middle the remainder of the year after the Florida loss.To be fair he had a play to put us into position to win that game.

SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about the way he trucked him some Alabama players instead of grudgingly cling to one past incident several years ago? If I recall right, he trucked Bamas on two different occasions in that game.They way he dodged out at the end of that Ole Miss game, nah. No one in a drafting position would really contemplate that.
Don't think he ever saw a "Robber" in his life! lolWhatever the reason, that play defined all of the other mistakes he made while playing at UT.

Plays like that were always nice to see, but they didn’t happen all of that often. That’s why I said 75% of the time he was here he didn’t look to initiate contact. IMO, a guy w/ his size, strength and athleticism should be an automatic 6 when you’re in a goal line situation.Sometimes yes, but I mostly got the impression he was unsure of what to do in those situations, not that he avoided contact.
