Hines Was A Definite Miss.....

[Pacergeek]

When the wind blows, Hines will fumble the ball. Not sure how a player with fumbling issues makes the roster. No way the coaches trust Hines in a regular season game. Why waste a roster spot on a player that will not play

So far it hasn’t been sunshine and roses. 

 

Actually so far is has been windy rain and crab grass...

Ballard is drafting the way he should by linemen and defense first. 

 

Would you give up Nelson, Leonard

Or Braden Smith for a pick at RB, or even Turay or Tyquan Lewis?

Definitely Yes to Smith, Turay and Lewis.

I don’t know why you think I’m the one who doesn’t understand the difference?

 

I just explained it to you.   You chose to ignore it.     So I’ll try again.    In football terms,  speed  is one direction — forward.    Quickness is all directions.  Left, right, forward and back.

 

The fact the some sprinters are great for 40 yards, but can’t maintain it for 100 yards is NOT the difference between being quick and fast.   That’s a complete lack of understanding.

 

As is the notion that you have multiple friends who ran in multiple Olympics, who, according to you, were “maybe 4.5 guys.”    Im sorry,  but whether you believe it or not,  it’s 100 percent false.   Not even a little bit true.   

 

So at this point you and I are going to have to agree to disagree.   We see this differently.

 

Good luck to you....

 

I think that besides football quickness being in all directions, it is also defined as being a player's first step quickness, which is obviously a lot shorter than 40 yards. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000438263/article/football-speed-developing-firststep-quickness

He looks pretty bad right now but he'll still get his opportunities.  Perhaps tonight, the guy needs a lot of action.

At the beginning of tonight's game broadcast, Rick Venturi was talking about players who needed to step up tonight. At the same time the camera was showing different guys during pregame warmups and when they had a closeup of Hines, it looked like a punt bounced off his chest and hit the ground.

Looks like Hines was not a definite miss.

 

Looked pretty good in the first game that counted.

i agree. i liked the way he was used but i hope he stays far away from kick and punt returns

[Malakai432]

Hopefully it was a decent little confidence booster for him and he can continue to improve throughout the season, no dropsies!!  I thought he looked better than Wilkins.  I do feel that Mack will be very effective with this team since he's far and away the most dynamic back on the team.
