Thornton tonight

[cherokeeeVOL]

Was our leading receiver. 3 catches for 63 yards. I know it’s just one game but I hope the light has come on for him. Really need him to contribute so teams can’t just focus on Squirrel.

It was nice to see him show up.

Yeah, we needed him to show up at some point. Tonight was important.

That pass where Milton scrambled to his left avoiding the rush and was directing Thornton open for the big gain was beautiful

Absolutely huge catch on 3rd down.

Donte had been on the milk carton until tonight. I hope he continues to progress and can help out our wr group.

Him and Milton played good.

Milton hit two beautiful passes tonight while on the run. He hadn't done that before, but if he continues, watch out.

 

[Thin Blue Vol]

Yep, Thornton finally found those two hands he carries around with him all the time and we definitely needed it!

Yeah, I noticed this too. He has historically been terrible at it. You got to wonder after the past two games if a light is finally coming on for Milton. He has been showing way more awareness and I think him running opens up the pass game a bit more.

It is likely that moving from the slot to wide out has made Thornton more comfortable in the offense. It could be a move that pays huge dividends.
