The WRs / Drops

[Carp]

“We?”

I thought UT would regress at WR, and that the RB’s would be the strength.

I got lashed on here for saying that Keyton was an average WR at best after everyone was gushing over him for that one catch against Florida. McCoy will get drafted and may be turned into a Deebo Samuel type player. Thornton and White still have a lot to prove.

Keyton is very solid. Reminds me a lot of Javonta Payton. Not the most athletic WR we've ever had, but he's very reliable. Runs crisp routes and mostly reliable hands.

I don't think White has much else to prove other than maybe durability. He's been electric when we've gotten him the ball.

If anything, I'd like us to get the TEs more involved. I know Castles has had a drop or 2 so far, but he seems very athletic and is a mismatch for 90% of linebackers.

That’s hard but is it Milton hard?????

It's a good thing you aren't running an NFL draft! Stats don't lie.

They sure don't! 2023 College Football Player Receiving Stats | ESPN

Way down there at 133, below 3 Vandy WR's.

So, you had to look nationwide to make your point? I was looking strictly at the Vols!

IMO, a supposed NFL caliber WR, it touches ur 2 hands, it should be caught. Most these misses have been catchable, n I believe last year would have been.

At this point I don’t think we have any receivers on the team that are good enough to get drafted.

McCoy will get drafted. And I wouldn’t give up on the younger guys just yet.

Well, you mentioned the NFL draft, so... yeah.

Weirdo.

I do agree the TE's could be special and should see the ball more. Through two games, I'm still not impressed with the WR's. I would hardly call White "electric." If he was he'd be returning punts instead of Williams. He has potential, but he hasn't produced.

Imagine that! A grown azzed man calling me a weirdo! LOL!

 

[Eddie Vol Halen]

No they haven’t.

Peyton Manning disagrees. Everybody can improve but the receivers must raise their game A LOT.

You can deflect all you want, but you have made no argument to change my mind that Ramel Keyton is at best an average WR.

Were you one of those that thought Hyatt and Tillman would go in the 1st round?

You'll be cheering your ass off for him very shortly!

Let's count the number of exaggerations in this post

Should be a really short reply. I don’t see a single exaggeration

 

[08Vol]

Nope, 2nd or 3rd round for both before Tillman’s injury. Now if Tillman had Hyatt’s numbers and season last year then I think he could have snuck into the 1st with a faster 40 time.

Probably won’t help. Don’t think it throws that hard
