Hoover catching heat; Friday odds and ends

Recommended Posts

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.
