White WRs/TEs 2009

[dwid]

well lets hope decker is okay, he has been out the past few series because of reinjuring his ankle.

This is what I meant about White players getting injured more because they are more likely to play through pain which leads to bigger injuries. Decker has had this ankle problem for a while I believe.

I hope Gerhart has a good day, I have rewatched the past few games, and he has had been limping occasionaly since the Washington game i believe also an ankle injury, yet he still plays and has had games over 100 yards since. It was really noticable the last game but the coach said he was fine and he practiced without any problems, so I hope its healed a bit. So lets hope both of these guys will be okay.

What happened to Ben Kuznia? I can't find out why he isnt playing except for a hamstring injury in the spring.

Edit: Decker was out the rest of the game, he has been playing since the cal game with an ankle injury, hopefully he will be back by next game

Good news is Sharp looks to be close to 100 percent out there so far has some of his quickness back. Briscoe is injured, a little nicked up and Reesing is looking to Meier more often.

Penn St receiver Graham Zug has 5 for 59 and 3 TDs in a big win over Michigan!!!!

 

[celticdb15]

ESPN showed a clip Of Idaho's Max Komar running a beautiful post corner route(totally faking out the corner) and catching a td.

 

[Riddlewire]

Jake Gaebler - SR WR - Western Kentucky
6 catches for 100 yards and 2TD in WKU's loss to Middle Tennessee.

 

[celticdb15]

Jake WilliamsIowa StateWr. 1 catch for a 47 yard TD, in Iowa States upset of Nebraska. Nebraska turned the ball over 8 times!!!!!

 

[Riddlewire]

Max Komar - SR WR - Idaho
Team high 10 catches for 136yds and 3TD in Idaho's loss to Nevada.

 

[Alworth No.19]

Joe Paterno on WR Graham Zug, after Zug caught three touchdown passes against Michigan to fuel PSU's 35-10 victory:

Zug, a former walk-on, caught five passes for 59 yards and surpassed
the total of TD receptions he had previously this season and all of
last year.

"He isn't one you put a clock on and he lights it up, but he knows how to read routes," Paterno said.

Unpacking the quote would reveal much about the current state of football.

 

[Riddlewire]

Taylor Stockemer - FR WR - Arkansas State
Game high 4 catches for game high 81 yards in victory over Florida International.

 

[Deadlift]

Jordan Shipley is awesome! ABC switched games so I don't know if he increased his stats. He has 2 TDs and at least around 100 yards.

Then why is Joe Pa playing him? A couple of years ago Joe talked about how blacks had the speed and were better. Why didn;t he have some brother in there if it was just about running routes??? Because it's not just about the speed. I saw all of that game and Zug played great. He also was returning punts? Why? You don't "read routes" on punts! Clearly the guy is a good football player. Why can't they leave it at that. When does a stopwatch ever win a football game?

Eric Decker re-injuring the ankle is a bummer. The Gophers appear to have only 150 lbs black guys as alternate recievers and even their running backs. I seriously think I could find a handful of highschoolers in my area in Southern Mn that would better compliment Decker.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Jordan Shipley is awesome! ABC switched games so I don't know if he increased his stats. He has 2 TDs and at least around 100 yards.

Superstud WR Shipley finished with 7 catches for 108 yards & 2 TDs!!!

 

[Riddlewire]

Johnny Forzani - JR WR - Washington State
4 catches for 116 yards and 1TD.
I'd say this guy is definitely a deep threat. He now has 7 catches on the season for 265 yards and 2TD. That's a 37.9 ypc average.
Coincidentally, this 4.4 speedster was just recently featured in an article that was linked by Draft Daddy.

Decker will miss the rest of the season.

That really sucks. I hope he is still able to make it on an NFL roster. They will use any excuse not to take a White guy at a skill position. In a fair world, a sprained ankle shouldn't hurt his draft status that much. Cornelius Ingram still got drafted after being out most of the year with a knee injury. He should drop a little bit in the draft because he missed part of the season and might be a little rusty, but hopefully he doesn't drop that far. He is a very talented wide receiver.Edited by: dwid

 

[Deadlift]

Luke Stocker is coming on strong. This tall athlete is a Junior at Tennessee.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/players/playerpage/1125485


He had 4 catches for 68 yards in Tennessee's dismantling of Georgia on the 10th of October. He also had a key grab on Tennessee's final drive against Alabama.

 

[backrow]

well, Eric has shown enough this season to be drafted in first three rounds, so i am not too worried about him, although it sucks that he won't be able to break lots of records (although it didn't really help Hass, heh).

 

[jacknyc]

Riley Cooper, had 4 receptions for 78 yards (19.5 avg) and 2 TDs today for Florida. One TD was a spectacular one-handed catch.
Chirs Magaha, AZ State had 4 for 76 yards.
Dane Sanzenbacher, Ohio St, had 4 catches for 72 yards and 2 TDs.
Max Komar, Idaho, had 7 catches for 133 yards and 2 TDs Edited by: jacknyc

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Tebow & Cooper tore up UGA's undisciplined coal-black defense. If anyone wants proof these (pro-caste) recruiting services (Rivals, etc.) are grossly inept most of the time...have a look at UGA's so-called blue-chippers on defense (arm tackles, no wrapping up) and TBs/WRs...dropped balls & missed blocks. This from a team that consistently lands "top 10" recruiting classes.

hoirrible streak of luck for white wideout this year

[jacknyc]

I'm not sure Derek Moye should be on this list.

 

[whiteathlete33]

I'm not sure Derek Moye should be on this list.

You are right jack.  He looks mixed to me. 

 

[Freethinker]

He's got blue eyes but is definitely mixed a bit. I'm not as much of a stickler as some of you guys so I included him as he is "white enough" for me to root for over the endless numbers of afroletes. However, if you guys want me to remove him, I will do so from my weekly list (which I've actually enjoyed updating thanks to our great receivers this year).Edited by: Freethinker
