re: (serious) why is Slade starting?

Then there was the pass in the end zone where he didn't get up for the perfectly placed ball ... Because he can't ... she's to short and can't sky.

He's just not physically equiped for the situation.

My mind was so blown by the worst drop I've ever seen by a D1 athlete that I completely forgot about this ^ Great point. In fact this ^ point is an even better illustration of why having bolden out there is such a mystery. He lacks the athleticism to play the position at this level. He needed to jump to catch the perfectly thrown ball, but his poor cleats never even left the grass... I believe his attempt to jump simply led to him falling down.
