Allen Hurns is a history revisionist?

His greatest attribute is his availability. He doesn't have hamstrings made of toilet paper like all our other wrs.

I was very cautious to get excited about his preseason because we've had preseason allstars before but he seems to be a big play guy. Fix his hands and he can be great.

I don't know what the record is for most yards in a season for an undrafted rookie receiver but considering there's next to no data on it, I'd say 600-700 would easily be the record.

Personally, I kind of like the acrobatic, juggling type catches... It adds to the excitability factor.  :teehee:

So how do you all think Hurns will do tomorrow?

Well, he's been productive thus far. I think he'll have another good day. Their secondary isn't all that scary.

What about Rod Smith?

I think about how he never takes his eyes off the ball when he juggles it. That is something you want to see in a wide receiver: concentration. But of course I wish we had that touchdown on the 44-yard post route.

Hurns will have a big day, but I think Big Ben will have a bigger one.. Our secondary is atrocious.

Didn't we get it two plays later?

Rod Smith only had 152 yards his first year.

I went through a lot of emotions in that half second of juggling.

I think with consistency with who is throwing him the ball and more repetition in games the drops will decrease

I was just thinking of how awesome that touchdown would have been if he caught the ball on the run and got the last two yards.

It would have been stellar !

So.........

still think Allen is set to 're-write the history books after the pathetic drops he had today? He just looked like another so so mediocre rookie receiver in a long line of flash in the pan mediocre rookie receivers who've been on this team. The great receivers have two things in common...

#1. they are on the field.

#2. they consistently catch the ball if it's catchable.

 

Hurns drops today played a big part in causing the offense to stall...

thanks Allen... 

these wr's really need to go through numerous catching excercises throughout the season
