Reuben Gant Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Just wondering. How good are Willis' hands and the hands of the rest of the backs. It was hard to know last year when Drew was throwing them 95 mile per hour skip passes. What I need to know is this, I have a side bet with a friend that Willis won't catch more than 38 balls this year. I have $20 that says the screen play is coming back big. (I am thinking he catches 40 balls) How good are his hands? And while we are at it, of the RBs, who has the best hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns actually has good hands, just forgets to run hard after he gets the ball. I am impressed with Goldsberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 generally shouldn't you ask advice BEFORE making the bet. Anyways I'm no expert, but last year his hands were great, I thought they were at least. He wasn't dropping anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was immobile so he would just stand in one place and catch for hours. I wonder why we dont have more plays going his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ennjay Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Running screens has a lot to do with the mobility of your o-line. Can Gandy, Anderson, Big Mike get out for screens? Maybe, but they're not exactly built that way. I see Willis catching a lot of flares as a safety valve IF JP can't use his TE that way. I expect once the season starts he'll be better than Bledsoe was at the quick dump-off when nothing's there because he'll be so well coached against DB's pat-pat-pat-wait-for-the-opening habit. UNLESS JP can't get over his urge to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
