GT woke up. 28-14 at half with momentum completely in GT's favor.
-
4th and 3 inside the 15 and GT is gonna kick a FG? No way. You're down 4 scores. You gotta go for 7. Okay, they called a timeout. Surely they're going for it.
-
Wow. Georgia Tech flat out didn't show up. 28-0 Pitt early in the 2nd quarter.
-
Wouldn't be surprising to see an injury settlement worked out. Starting to think the chances of Brooks every meaningfully contributing in the NFL is slim to none. Whatever decision we make on Chuba and/or Rico, honestly Jonathan Brooks shouldn't even factor into those conversations.
-
See: Jonathan Brooks
-
If we had drafted him he would've already torn all his ligaments. Like all of them. Helluva player and it was obvious but he had a Penix-like injury laundry list.
-
Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and ball skills were ELITE.
-
Oh, He definitely worked his ass off. Don't get me wrong. But he didn't "simply out work everyone". I could've been the hardest working person to have ever lived and I wad never stepping foot on a D1 field much less an NFL training camp. The Jerry Rices of the world is when elite work ethic intersects with elite talent.
-
And then even crazier to watch Landry do it after he watched Boston do it.
-
That's what made guys like Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison so impressive. They played in eras where you could really rough up receivers and they weren't physically imposing guys but they were just so damn good it didn't matter.

Dude was 6'2" 240 and absolutely JACKED and still fast ad hell. He was basically Patrick Willis playing WR.

Then just take it in the shorts and take your 3rd round comp pick. Either way you can't have two guys on elite WR contracts when you have no OL and no D and your franchise QB is taking an absolute beating every week. -
Laron Landry a few years later. Same thing. Phenomenal athletes. Great players. But basically derailed their football careers trying to be body builders. Coming guys. That poo is for people who aren't athletes but wanna look the part. Y'all were the real deal and you fuged it up cosplaying like a gym bro.
-
Yeah, he's largely forgotten in NFL history but damn he had a couple years there where he looked like he was gonna be an all time great. The guy had 1600 yards at 23 years old. He ran a 4.3 flat at 6'1" 215. Then he basically tried to become a body builder while still in the NFL and his knees couldn't hold up to the weight. Then a few years later we basically watched that same story play out with Laron Landry.

Paying Higgins was so dumb. Said well before they signed him that given the state of their OL and their D they were basically in a situation where they had to either trade him, let him walk, or tag and trade him. They have tons of cap invested in offensive skill positions but the rest of their roster is a disaster.
