Keyton!!!

[tone357]

Looking at the replay where he was on the ground for a while. I think he would have caught that ball if he hadn't had the daylights knocked out of himself by landing partially on his head!

They don’t need Keyton hurt this week or any week. I hope it was just precautionary.

Hype also said on the JHS that Keyton was dinged up for Florida.

He was down a while Sat.

I'm not in Knoxville. When and where can I tune in to his show?

I am not either. I DVR it in Tri Cities area each week. I don't know where you can stream it.

Oh ok, I thought it was a radio show.

He and Thornton drop too many.

 

[valoisvol]

All the hype on Thornton. He has done absolutely nothing so far.

 

[Hank Bukowski]

This football team would never have gone 11-2 last year without Ramel Keyton. And this football team won’t go very far this year without Ramel Keyton.

My god man. I don’t know what to say about some of our fans. Are the drops you’re referring to balls that were thrown way off target? That’s what’s mostly happened this year. Keyton and thorton both have 1 or 2 bad drops on the whole year. Both have continually made amazing catches. Especially keyton. He’s an absolute stud

Thornton has more than 1 or 2… here’s to hoping he gets it going. Lots of potential. Not a great receiver yet

Maybe Milton throws to fast, where Thornton and Keyton drop to many

 

[Fullfillmer]

Maybe he throws too high, or too far behind, or too far off target, just speculating.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

Keyton is solid. Now Thornton has dropped too many and need to be better for us to successful

So, I’ll try to not make this long winded, but I was debating with my buddy the other day (referring to the Austin Peay game)….was it more Milton or our receivers, my contention is I mostly put the blame on Milton, to me there is a difference between throwing accurate vs throwing a catchable ball, and of course Milton has accuracy issues, but I think his biggest flaw is throwing a catchable ball. My humble opinion is: he doesn’t read the field well, and b/c of his arm strength, all throws are always at least on the table so he never progressed his game in regards to reading the field or honing in his touch pass. Two biggest examples were this last UTSA game, I mean positively he recognized he needed touch but man it looked so uncomfortable for him to just place a ball in there (the post/dig route he missed and then one down the sidelines). Not saying our receivers can’t pick up the slack but from playing the game, it is so hard to adjust to a bullet of a pass especially if thrown behind when going across the middle. I know the old saying: it hit a hand, it has to be caught, but there are so many parts to that. Kind of like a kicker has one job, but what if the snap is slightly off, or the holder misaligns the laces or the tilt is off. I don’t know, totally open to discussion on this, but just my two cents on the issues that persist with our offense

Football and politics have one thing in common. Everybody has an opinion. Most have no idea what they're talking about. That is unless you and I have a different definition of what too many means. Keyton has one drop, and Thornton has 2. That's it.

 

[tone357]

That's 100% on the media. I've found that quite a lot of them are lazy. They repeat things that other media members have written and rarely do their homework. They completely ignore the fact that Thornton had only 300-odd yards at Oregon. Every time I've read the over-the-top hype, I would say to myself, they need to pump the brakes. We need to see it first. And many fans jumped onto that hype train with both feet. Many were saying to sit Keyton and insert Thornton, never having seen the guy play!

Awesome! Thank you!

Coach Heupel has limited tolerance for stone hand receivers. Webb and Nimrod will replace Thornton and may have already in the rotation. Maybe Thornton needs a redshirt year and practice with Nico. As for Keyton - he is one of the top receivers in the SEC and clutch all the way.

Didn’t he drop Nicos first pass.

 

[Toucan Sam]

Keyton needs more touches.

I believe you need to take off the orange colored glasses.
Thornton has been utterly disappointing.
Keaton is Keaton. Makes some plays , also drops some easy ones.
Keep it real.

Well, keeping it real. Keyton has dropped ONE easy pass! In other situations, the DBs have made a play.

He looked a lot better the last two weeks. Not living up to the high expectations yet, but he seems to be improving. He looked lost out there the first two games.
