To act as if other teams players aren't making similar leaps and bounds in S&C, is not being realistic. At the time of those plays our players were limited. Can they get faster? Sure. But so can the guys their trying to cover. Can our guys get more athletic, sure..but so will the other teams. What I'm really getting at, is for most kids, they never close the gap.

But to say that Market can't is just silly.

make no mistake Im not picking on Market specifically. I only point him out because he was mentioned earlier. There are plenty of guys that this applies to on our team, and I admittedly was not half the football player they are.

quote:
the WR from UAB was a track guy

Im aware of this fact, but what does this have to do with the experience vs athleticism argument? Does this guy not count because he ran track before? Some would argue him being a track guy would hurt because he isn't used to carrying the extra weight of pads etc..so it goes both ways.

And by the way...we have a track guy too in Holloway who I haven't seen outrun anyone.

Market has intangibles and is a fine tackler. He also saved our arse from losing a game couple years ago. Oh, he was also the best player recruited out of South Panola that year.
