Hoover catching heat; Friday odds and ends

Best part of Friday's practice was listening to DT Damione Lewis rag on FB Brad Hoover, when Hoover and the other backs took their turn catching passes from the Jugs machine.

The Hoov's been hearing it all week after dropping two passes Monday, and it hasn't been pretty. TE Jeff King asked him yesterday if he changed helmets because those two Jake Delhomme passes had broken the facemask on the old one. Hoover (perhaps the club champ in off-color humor) came back with something we can't even remotely allude to here on the interwebs, much less print.

I reserve the right to call WR D.J. Hackett "The Groundhog" since that one was born in training camp -- when his practicing on a sunny day meant four to six more weeks on the injury report. And until rookie FS Charles Godfrey gets more comfortable in zone coverage, I might slip up and refer to him as Charles Garmin or something.

LOL The Groundhog and Charles Garmin.

I'm sure brad hoover was running his route and when the ball came towards him he said what the hell there is a ball coming towards me, this has never happened before, and was so much in shock that he didn't react by catching it. We don't have him on our team to catch little short passes, we have him to lay people out and he does a darned good job of it!

We shouldn't be throwing to Hoover, period.

The dude is an NFL Fullback. He knows how to catch a ball, every now and again the ball gets dropped, it happens.

If hes open and has a chance to get 5 to 6 yards theres no reason not to throw to him. He is usually sure handed, aside from Monday tell me the last time he dropped 2 wide open passes in the same game.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
