I also get that you wanted Hoch and Knox didn't catch any TDs in college, so... it was the he drops passes part that your post missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Doc, you and Weo are like that guy and girl in high school that keep knocking on each other because secretly you like each other. Relax, not going the alternative lifestyle thing. Just kidding guys. You guys both are great and both have excellent posts. As Rodney said, “Cant we all just get along”.

Thunder storming And Lightning like crazy down here in FL, so on as bored. Our son and his fiancé are driving down to Sarasota, FL for his pending wedding on Saturday (family only). She sent a video of what he was driving through. Nasty stuff! I was driving to pick up my wife from banking school once, nighttime on I-95 in a nasty storm. It’s dark and I see lights in the distance flickering on and off heading south as I went north. I couldn’t figure it out. As I get closer I realize it’s a car flipping and rolling. I’m the first one there and the car is upside down in the gulley/median. The next person was a lady who was right behind her who said “she wasn’t doing anything crazy, I was right behind her taking it easy!” The car was upside down so the tires were right there to see, and they looked fine to me. Hydroplaning has been a much greater concern to me since that night. I think the driver was going to be OK, but only because she had her seatbelt on. I pray everyone wears a seatbelt for every inch they move. My parents would skip it if I didn’t make them. I guess they drove the first 40-50 years without, but PLEASE make everyone wear it!

You're right, it's probably not Kelly Pegula holding that trade back. John Lynch would be fired in a New York minute were he to fall for that fleecing.

njbuff Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'm confused. I know that Knox dropped some balls and missed a few blocks, but................. I thought he was a really good blocker. Am I wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there’s no need to be inappropriate and cross so many basic lines and boundaries every chance you get though. We get it, you’re ***** but no need to antagonize people with offensive language, it’s just not cool. It’s not about intolerance at this point. Rather nobody gives a damn about which player you’re going to rub one off to later and I’m sick of hearing about it. I really really really don’t want to hear it. Could you please consider refraining from posting inappropriate sexual innuendos on this board? Once again it shows a complete disregard for sexual social norms which is really really really weird. What happened to "not that there's anything wrong with that"???!!!! I dont understand how fantasizing about having both Kittle and Knox as our starting Tight Ends (which they both definitely are) is offensive... What offensive language did I use Mr. Intolerance? I thought it is a disregard for sexual social norms nowadays not to be flamboyant!!

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 George Kittle becoming a star nfl TE is absolutely insane. There was nothing to indicate that was coming. and I always think it’s good to train with great players but I don’t always know how much it matters. Just because you work out with Jordan or Gretzky, it doesn’t mean you will become great. Knox just needs to catch the ball. Dude does get open. But he’s not a natural at the position.

He has only been playing position for a few years. He has all the physical tools and is a very good route runner (playing qb definitely helps him). I didn’t like the pick because of his lack of production but then he really surprised me in the beginning of the season. But then the drops and I don’t believe he is a natural hand catcher. Confidence can definitely play a part in drops but given he never really caught that ball that much, it is a concern. but talent wise, he’s about as good as any guy in the league. But if he doesn’t solve the drops, qbs will lose confidence in him. 8 minutes ago, Doc said: Not at 10th overall. Second round, sure. Yup.

As for being a natural...not sure where you're getting that from. I explained the natural part above. But for sure. I guess Kittle had 10 tds in 2 years at Iowa but it blows my mind how good he has become. I also have to give credit to a daddy’s boy coach who is actually good. Shanahan gets the most out of his offensive players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I think you should have simply said he doesn't have a lot of experience at the position, because physically he is a perfect "natural" fit for today's NFL TE. As for catching ability -- he made some extremely difficult catches last year and admitted his drops were because he took his attention away before securing the ball. I don't see a guy who struggles to catch -- I see a guy who was looking to make big plays and just needs to learn to complete the catch first (which he said he has done). I guess we'll find out soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
