Ur pointing out making a few catches here and there and then blaming everyone else....Campbell injury, this guy fumbling etc.....I will say it again pts wins football games and he played well in bout 4 games where he was a true playmaker....NE, KC, Jax and Minny....the rest of the games he was ordinary at best. Showing up when the outcome has been determined does little and most people have the tv turned off when its a blowout 27-3 w 4 mins left. btw, how many TDs did u highlight in ur breakdown?
Wow, I think you may be more ignorant than I ever gave you credit for in the past...Do you want him to pass and run the ball also? I concede, he didn't have 120 catches for 210 yards per game in the first half while averaging 3 TDs before the first 30 minutes of game time had expired.... You are right, he is very ordinary of a player and should not be mentioned any longer as a top flight wide receiver, let alone the best of 2013. You are so knowledgeable and concise, show me a wide receiver who does contribute more game to game than he did in this example....
Browns signed third-round RB Terrance West to a four-year contract. West, the 99th overall pick, has a ton of carries on his legs (802) already, but is a powerful runner who has the ability to beat first contact. He's expected to play a prominent role in the Browns' run-heavy offense, along with Ben Tate, and our own Evan Silva predicts West will be Cleveland's feature back sooner rather than later
We still don't know how long Browns receiver Josh Gordon will be suspended, and considering it's been about a month since word got out that Gordon had failed another drug test and could be lost for the entire 2014 season, it has to be annoying for the Browns to still not know his fate. And their own fate. Cleveland coach Mike Pettine confirmed as much when speaking to 92.3 The Fan on Tuesday. "There's certainly a level of frustration because we've known the news for so long," Pettine told the radio station, via the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "It's just a holding pattern and I understand that the league has a process that they have to go through and there's other things that they're dealing with and we respect that. But at the same time it is difficult because it really will affect our preparation for the season ... We're prepared for all of the eventualities, but the waiting is difficult." Also frustrating for Pettine: his perception that Gordon isn't giving his all on every play in practice. "It is something we've talked about and from what I understand he's made some improvement, but it is a work in progress," Pettine said. "I'm a big believer in quality of reps versus quantity of reps. If I'm a player and I know that I'm going to be out there for 40 full-speed team snaps, I may have a tendency to pace myself. "There still needs to be improvement there but we're aware of it." It's hard to argue with Gordon's results (he led the league with 1,646 receiving yards last season, despite a two-game suspension to start the year). But this also isn't the first time Gordon has heard questions about his work ethic. "(As for) loafing, I mean certain people see different things when they look at me run or look at me move," Gordon said last August. "It might look slow because I'm a little bit larger to play at my position. So it might be a little bit deceptive, hard to look at it. It looks like, compared to everybody else, a little bit shorter strides, shorter movements, but I go out here 100 percent every day I come out here.? Unfortunately for Gordon, it sounds like his coach slightly disagrees.
Mike Pettine's father, Mike Sr., the legendary high school coach from Central Bucks West in Doylestown, Pa., watched practice Wednesday, and also reviewed practice tapes for his son and defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil, who both played for him in high school. Pettine Jr. admitted it was special to have his dad watching him in his first stint as an NFL head coach. "He's been watching some of the practice tape so we had ? I don't want to call it heated ? but an Italian conversation this morning before practice, he, I and Coach O'Neil,'' Pettine said with a smile. "It's great to have him here. It's just another guy not necessarily who's immersed in the scheme, but I always say it's nice to get the 30,000-foot view sometimes, instead of when you're deep in it, where he can make some comments. A lot of times I tell him, it's sometimes how you say it, how you package it. Usually the content is accurate, but sometimes my defenses go up when he delivers the message the way he delivers it." Pettine acknowledged that his dad was the original "blunt force trauma": "I learned from the best (laughter),'' Pettine said.
Anything would be better than: All I did was take HIS example, not a hand picked one and do a thorough run through of the entire point to which he is contesting. The "few catches" that he is talking about were drive extenders, while the "blaming everyone else" was drive killers, yet he is placing the blame on Gordon "not showing up"... It's a ridiculous argument that he knows he has no answer for, yet continues to make asinine posts, I am assuming, he thinks proves his pointless point.
Ur right again......making 5 catches and getting 111 yds and a TD when the game is out of reach is AWESOME, makes him look real good in the paper the next day if thats what u want.
Stopper, in the first Pitt game (in Irish's example) Gordon went 6-71 in the first half... what the hell do you expect from him in the first half? If that's not contributing, I don't know what is?
IT'S NOT EVEN MY EXAMPLE, IT WAS HIS!!!! The fact that he contributed throughout is the point made here, the fact that he got: Really is just that...AWESOME...When the defense is in prevent and he burns them for a long TD is to put it mildly, embarrassing for the defense you did it to. That should NEVER happen. That defense is there to give up the ten yard pass, but "PREVENT" the long TD, and he did it anyway... That is simply the icing on the cake of an already productive day..which is the part you are refusing to talk about. Your argument was that he did nothing but put up garbage stats, the reality is your assessment is garbage. He put up productive stats AND garbage stats, which is what a top receiver will do. Edit: The fact you are still trying to argue this is just as embarrassing as the defense that Gordon burned...You empathize with them, don't you? Just a little?? or maybe a lot??? :[ Edit, Edit: I gave you a *THUMBSUP* stopper just for making me *ROFL* that you continue to argue this subject...
wow....do u watch the games.....he was catching 10 yd underneath routes and BECAUSE Pitt was playing so deep he was able to turn them into 15-20 yds gains....his TD was a 1 yd TD catch.....LOL!!!!!!! Mayb the DB was playing in the Dawg Pound on his TD reception during that PREVENT defense.
Stop the presses!! Stopper actually did some research and looked something up!!! Congratulations my friend, you actually posted something of value... Seriously, congratulations... How does it feel? You should feel good, really, I'm proud of you, sincerely... Keep up the good work!
