Joe Horn ranks last in the NFL in YAC
Maybe if Brooks would hit him in stride rather than making him slow down and catch it behind him, he would have better YAC.
I wish Joe would shut his mouth, but digging up little stats like this is unbelieveable. Who cares? Of course, there isn\'t an ulterior motive going on here. This is the second thread about one of our star players in some odd attempt to deflect criticism from Brooks. Nice. |

Joe Horn ranks last in the NFL in YAC
I am not shocked that Horn was last in YAC. Horn no longer has the speed he once had. His speed has been steadily declining for the past couple seasons. He is still excellent as a primary target, but a primary target that will not run away from most CB\'s.

You don\'t get much yards running the curl route a gazillion times a game. Brooks doesn\'t have the accuracy to hit him in stride. You notice Stallworth gains a lot of yards after the catch because all he catches are WR screens. I do recall Brooks hitting Horn in stride last year a couple of times, but Horn dropped them. Oh well, we settle for what we get. It\'s better than having Heath Shuler or Ryan Leaf back there and Freddie Mitchell catching passes.

Its not Joe\'s fault, its the New Orleans fans\' fault. If they wouldn\'t boo he\'d get more YAC\'s. The New Orleans fans just don\'t want the Saints here, thats why he drops the in-stride balls. Its our fault you idiots.
Joe Horn = LEON. [Edited on 13/2/2005 by Danno] |

Joe Horn ranks last in the NFL in YAC
To get to any serious talk sbout another player on the saints, you\'ve first gotta go through a bunch of BS about Brooks.
So, let\'s get that outta the way first!! Donte\' doesn\'t seem to have any problem taking it \"to the house\" when he catches one of AB\'s passes. And it ain\'t only on screen passes either! Let\'s see .... What does Donte\' have that Joe Horn doesn\'t? Oh, that\'s right ................. SPEED!! For you guys who have on \"Joe\" shades, I\'m just giving ya the facts. Fact: Joe is LAST in the NFL in YAC!! Twist the facts any way you like. I\'m sure ya will!! [Edited on 13/2/2005 by GumboBC] [Edited on 13/2/2005 by GumboBC] |
