Percy Harvin

[Dallas_Dawg]

I guess I was influenced by the A&M game that was on TV this weekend.

We could have lined nick james up at tailback last year against aTm and he would have gone for over 100 yds. Maybe I'm exaggerating a little but there were some holes to run through

Mixon

Mixon appears the closest thing. ...but it's no Percy even in the SEC.

I really thought Graham was going to be our Harvin, but I guess ifyouonlyknew didn't see it that way, so he was moved to defense. Graham is basically the same exact size as Harvin (Harvin was listed at 5'11 175 at Florida), and just a hair slower. I'm still not 100% sure we didn't make a mistake in moving him to defense this soon. But I'll defer to Dan on that.

I think Deddrick Thomas is supposed to be a good one of similar size as well, but I may be wrong. I agree that Mixon may be a big time playmaker like that for us. Seems to fit that mold, just a bit smaller/shorter.

Flab must not have had his morning coffee if he thinks Holloway is comparable. Holloway may not get on the field if he played at USM. Dan thought he had something in Holloway, and now I don't think he can accept that he was wrong. So he keeps sticking him out there to fail

This is Dan's Biggest fault...
He's too damn stubborn or arrogant to admit he is ever wrong and make a change.

I think the hang-up with Holloway for Dan is that Holloway is that guy that gives 100% and has a great work ethic. Dan chooses to reward that. Its ashame that Holloway isn't more productive, but he gives max effort and does all the little things right. Dan wants badly for that work to pay off. It just isn't, but Dan wants to give him the opportunity. I wish we could see more production from holloway myself but i can respect the decision to reward hard work and effort.

Aside from Dak and Fred Ross, what home run hitters do we have? I would throw Fred Brown and potentially Donald Gray in that mix although they are largely unproven. Not sure if DeRunnya has the moves to escape everybody even if he catches a big pass.

I think that's what we're lacking.. someone who can just flat outrun the defense and take it to the house. Easier said than done of course but it would put us in the conversation to be one of the best offenses ever if we can find that piece.

I don't think having that 1 blazing fast guy is necessary. We had 7 guys catch passes for at least 40yds last year. That's a big #. That would suggest our entire offense is a big play offense.

We need a Persey Harvey, We have a Tim Tivo.

Any relations?
