The Book Chapter Begins

AsylumGuido · 12-26-2021, 12:18 PM

I think our WR's aren't quite getting a fair shake here. In the games I have seen in person we've consistently had open receivers, but perhaps not those that have been the first read. Between Siemian and Hill neither have shown much of an ability to make it through the progressions. On many occasions where the read has been wide open the pass has missed the target.

Brees made us extremely spoiled. Winston was better at it than what we have now. Book is the unknown.

Look for Alvin. If that's not there, run like hell. Do that a few times. Get comfortable. Ease into it. Play smart. Execute the plan. No whammies.

My pop (while drinking and fighting like a good Irishman) watched Book a lot at Norte Dame. He commented to me on how good his scrambling/running is.
I says to him I says, “ Surely father you don’t think Book can run better than Hill do ya?”

Me father says to me “One thing to remember lad...don’t call me Shirley!”.

Then he said Book can’t outrun Hill, but he can “selectively scramble” better than he does.

The kid had no chance. At least the D, Kamara and Humphrey tried for him.
Everyone else can…. I dunno.
