Dont Stop Billeiving Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Very excited about both of our rookie WRs and the unique skill sets they bring to our offense (Davis' size and vertical ability, Hodgins' size/agility/hands on down-and-distance routes). Loved the picks at the time and love them even more now. Our WR room being an actual strength of the team for the first time in over a decade should be a lot of fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe jest wasn't the right word, (but was easier to spell) over exaggeration may be a better term is what I think he was saying. You hear it al lthe time in sports life, coaches, bosses, etc talking up people and takes above the level it really is warranted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t even answer the question and he had ample chance to explain what he’s helped the rookies with. Sounds like more like the truth, what is wrong with it if he hasn't helped them at all? I mean is he supposed to lie? Edited August 10, 2020 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make sense if Brown was talking up a rookie who plays a different position -- like, "wow, that AJ Epenesa looks like a beast and seems to be picking things up really quick." The rooks Brown is praising could potentially take his job. Anyway, it's not a big deal, I just saw your post and it was curious to me. Great for us as fans if what he's saying is accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always give the young guns a heaping helping of praise if they are for real working. Often more than deserved but like to make folks feel good and not an ounce of insecurity in my own value 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh tells a story about how he was apologizing for missing him on a throw and Smoke told him to look at the scoreboard and as long as we're winning he's happy. I believe he's happy that the rooks are stepping up and he's going to encourage them to keep it up. Gore did similar things with Motor last year. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire that sort of leadership as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I have high hopes for Gabe especially. Think he can develop into a legit starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWinPlease Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Can they catch the ball and stay healthy? That's all that matters to me. I'm not "sold" on either one as anything more than a back-end of the roster WR, but I do have some hope for Gabe Davis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Got to hand it to McD and Beane. They look for and acquire smart, hungry players. Watching Brown talk got me excited, although it's still fairly difficult for rookie WR to make big impact, especially as the 4-7 guy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
