Croom

[jarnol32]

Croom needs to start playing aggressive end of story. Hopefully he comes out and starts actually using his large frame instead of shying away from contact like he did last season. Hopefully he puts it all together and becomes a solid wr this year.

North got hurt during the Vandy game.

That's right, Croom straight robbed that db in the Ky game.

 

[G0V0LS33]

He's a beast.

 

[VolFan4Life87]

Croom was really showing his potential in the UK game. It's a shame that he got injured during it or his performance (already great in that game) would've been even bigger. It's also a shame a lot of Vol fans don't recall or perhaps didn't even watch that game - a lot of our players showed how much they'd progressed from the experience gained over the course of the season as well as their potential in that game.

Croom was putting everything together in that game even on the play he got hurt, showing big time playmaking ability that I look forward to seeing from him this year.

Consider the competition; I'm not surprised they played well and looked good. Kentucky was 0-8 in SEC play last year...

 

[PowerWookie]

Croom has everything it takes to become a great one for us so don't count him out.

His size and skills are awesome and he just needs to learn more and keep his focus trained on every play.

I think all this added competition is going to bring the best out of Croom and he's going to surprise alot of people.

#BrickbyBrick...VFL...GBO!!!

That would be fantastic

Dobbs should have treated Croom to some Golden Corral after that game. That pass was way underthrown.

Is Croom going to be David Martin 2.0 or a real contributor at WR? I hope he figures out how to dominate DBs this year because we really need playmakers on every level of our team.

success in the NFL as a TE, if I remember correctly. I can't believe Croom is not playing TE. Being physical is not really a trait of wideouts--they run routes and catch passes. Sometimes size and physicality help, but not often.

You've been watching a different NFL from me.

 

[24/7vol]

I really like Croom. With him, North and Malone our passing game should not only improve but our run game also. These big guys should be able to drive those DB's way downfield.

 

[sjt18]

If he catches the ball consistently, there's a bunch of money waiting on him. He MUST learn to catch the stinking football.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

Every time Croom is in single coverage, they should throw a jump ball his way 15-25 yards down the field. With his size vs the average SEC CB being 6' or less, Croom should deliver on those over 50% of the time and should never give up an interception.

I agree ... but Florida will be hanging on him to hold down his jumpification. :question:

If he can turn it on, it's game over. "Should" has always been the wrap on him. He's gotta get mad. Send him to the Jayson Swain school of hard knocks and he'll be a big time player.

They do hold like noone I have ever seen. It's not even close

He's only played one season, so far. :shades:

 

[ImportedVoL]

I hope he has a breakout season, with the talent we are putting on the field at WR, teams will not be able to double cover anyone etc.. because we have to many weapons. It will all boil down to the OL and QB in the end. Too many choices can hurt some QB's

Hines Ward says "hello"

 

[Phat-Phil]

Hope this kid can finally put all the pieces together this season. Really pulling for him but there is just too much there physically not to dominate/excel in his position.

The guy is just now a sophomore. He's a young receiver still. I think he's going to end up being a good receiver opposite North for us. He's got the potential for sure and if he can learn to use that size he could being very good.

 

[Phat-Phil]

Hines Ward says "hello"

As do Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, etc, etc

 

[VolSwaff]

I want Croom to be great

but I will be shocked if he isn't passed by Malone by mid-year.

He isn't athletic enough for WR and he is too soft for TE.

Hines Ward says "hello"

Hines retired at the right time. He would've been ejected in almost every game in today's NFL.

 

[KBVol]

Hines retired at the right time. He would've been ejected in almost every game in today's NFL.

He would also be broke.

 

[vols 30]

He would also be broke.

True

I knew the NFL was going to start sucking was when the crack block rule was put in.

 

[SteelerVol]

He would also be broke.

Croom could watch some Hiney highlights to learn about physical WR play.
