Will Blackmon live up to the hype?

TNT

8/31/15 8:23am

I think the hype died last year

cougarmanguy

8/31/15 8:24am

agreed. hype died when he was caught from behind

Stressed hammy most of the year. You could see him pull up on that play.

Maybe - wasn't limping or compensating during stride

Will O'Neill Chambers?

who is a byu player who catches kickoffs and punts above his head, alex?

I'm guessing not because of route running (unless that's somehow improved)

He's also too tentative & doesn't run strong. Would love for a switch to flip.

He showed some flashes in the Cal game last year

Agreed, Signed Todd Watkins

Thank you. I had pointed out this same thing last year. I have no problem

No.

Verified.

Nah. Given our depth at WR, I'd be surprised if Blackmon made any sort of impact

Blackmon has speed

donnerstag

8/31/15 9:07am

I believe Blackmon's speed has been greatly exaggerated.

BearsandBulls

8/31/15 9:33am

Blackmon is a track guy

donnerstag

8/31/15 9:36am

I know he's a track guy, and I've heard him claim a 10.5 sec. 100 meter, but...

BearsandBulls

8/31/15 9:53am

did he get run down from behind once or was there a pattern of it?

icecougar

8/31/15 2:32pm

There were several times last year where he caught the ball in space and was

8/31/15 3:06pm

Alright...I did a little more research. The guy that ran Blackmon out of bounds

BearsandBulls

8/31/15 3:48pm

You can't seriously be trying to assign Blackmon a new 100 meter time based

donnerstag

8/31/15 4:07pm

Really? He was chased down and pushed out of bounds by a known 11.5 to 11.7

BearsandBulls

8/31/15 4:26pm

While it may be true that Blackmon is not a 10.5 100 meter guy

donnerstag

8/31/15 4:39pm

I've seen him work out on carpet, too (at the IPF)...

BearsandBulls

8/31/15 4:51pm

I have no firsthand knowledge to say whether Blackmon is or isn't a 10.5 guy but

icecougar

8/31/15 7:44pm

There's a brief pause as he cathches the ball, but he had several yards of....

BearsandBulls

9/1/15 8:38am

I don't think Blackmon knows what the 100 meter times are of his opponents

donnerstag

9/1/15 9:10am

He was running full speed. He didn't back off until the very end.

BearsandBulls

9/1/15 9:27am

Looking at his track profile, I don't see any 100 meter times either

donnerstag

8/31/15 2:37pm

spending time thinking vs reacting can impact speed on the field...

icecougar

8/31/15 11:57am

I like Juergens but he had some issues last year...

icecougar

8/31/15 8:08pm

Blackmon will be a factor this year

donnerstag

8/31/15 9:06am

Did he have a redshirt available? He was a 2011 guy.

bluescholar

8/31/15 9:12am

That's right. I think he was a 2 and done player
