And then he made OT Paul Seymour a TE!

That reminds me 🤔 

One of my brothers got into a fight with Paul Seymour in a bar in South Buffalo, "Flanagans" if I recall  ...

I was there too, hiding under a table

Hawes was the true hero...he neutralized Watt in the game....This guy is a gem.

 

At one point in the game, The Steelers actually adjusted the defense to compensate for Anderson and Hawes' blocking:

Shavers led all receivers in reps. Shows you the relative importance of blocking vs receiving skill in this offense.

Or just for this particular game.

People seem to be forgetting that both of our starting tackles were out.

Blocking AND receiving skill.   Shavers has great hands, he's shown that throughout training camps for three years and obviously his TD grab was not a simple catch in that wind.   We've got some stone hands guys like Knox and Coleman, Shavers isn't one of them.

It seems that every time they showed a slo mo replay when James was cooking Shavers was out there blocking his a$$ off.  I was wondering if anyone else noticed it and if you saw the same thing that I saw.  Also, big shoutout to Hawes, too, for great blocking.  Many time those 2 created the hole for James to utilize.

 

Shavers will be here at least through 2026 (as he's under contract through next year) and will get a jersey every week as a bottom of the depth chart WR for his blocking and Special Teams alone.

 

He really doesn't provide much as a WR (the Tampa Bay game had more to do with them having a *terrible* Pass D) - but he does what you want out of a 5th WR. Which is play Teams and Block your tail off.

Shavers is the Lee Smith of receivers

Hawes reminds me of Kyle Brady from the 90s. Great pick
