Front Page Story: Healthy Watkins ready to turn the page to 2013

Healthy Watkins ready to turn the page to 2013

Last season delivered a lot of struggles for Sammy Watkins, but 2013 provides him the opportunity to turn the page and write a new chapter. Full Story »

I would bet that Sammy Watkins will be nothing short of amazing this year. If he is, he may well be at the top of next year's draft, even with the blip in his judgement. He certainly has earned my forgiveness and respect for the way he owned up to his mistake and for the way he took his, very significant, punishment.

I agree.


Mar 8, 2013, 10:44 AM

It's not like he did anything that wrong. He has been fine since then and I bet he has a huge year.

We, it may be common, but still pretty bad. That said, it was a mistake he has owned up to, served out his very significant punishment, and now he moves on with his life, his career, and I believe, a lot of highlights.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I expect the same.

Sammy is Tajh are ready to show just how great each is and tear some teams apart. With UGA losing their entire secondary and most of their D they should be ready to have a field day with the puppies.

The game will be a war, but we certainly are very capable of playing with them or anybody else.

Sammy's success this year depends largely on


Mar 8, 2013, 11:20 AM

whether or not a solid #2 option can emerge. It's hard for anybody to be successful when you're the team's only weapon, so Watkins will need Peake or Bryant or someone to draw attention away from him.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And, also take attention away from other receivers. I


Mar 8, 2013, 1:53 PM

am very concerned that Hopkins and Brown will not be in the backfield too.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I expect big things this year from him, but


Mar 8, 2013, 11:29 AM

it will be harder for him without Nuk on the other side of the field. It's going to take Peake, Bryant, and the other guys really stepping up to take the pressure and coverage away from Sammy so he can shine.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dude, who did Nuk have?


Mar 10, 2013, 10:14 AM

When you factor Sammy's issues and missed games last year, Nuk had about the same supporting cast. I'm more concerned about the tight end position this year. I'm hoping Cooper and Seckinger will be hauling in some big plays. Our tight end play has been nothing short of amazing for 3 years.

Look at Nuk against LSU. No Sammy.

My prayers have been answered. Sammy observed Nuk's 2012 off-season, and it appears he is on the same path. If so, and the younger receivers are watching, and Sammy is mentoring, well, watch out!

Why do the press always say first play...


Mar 8, 2013, 11:53 AM

when it was second play from scrimmage? Were they not watching the same game I've watched 3 times?

Risking Sammy in the kick-return game? Sounds scary.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

yes, the the return game did stink last year.***

Glad to see I'm not the only freak that never gets tired of that game! 4th and 16 BABY. Tweet that.

In my opinion, Sammy should not be used in the return game this year at all. He is too valuable to us as a WR and we can't risk an injury. We have other fast players who aren't as important to the team who can handle returns.

Also, we need to limit his use as a RB. Jet Sweeps are OK in limited qty, but no runs up the middle.

I say:

95% WR
5% Jet Sweep (or fake sweep)

He is capable of being the "Nuk" of last year, and possibly even better because he has more athletic talent.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

can we focus on kicking the ball into the end zone


Mar 8, 2013, 1:27 PM

we gave up so much starting field position because we couldn't kick the ball through.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Amen


Mar 10, 2013, 10:21 AM

the Florida State game being the worst example. Just spot the ball, kick it through and make them earn it. A kick off gone bad started a comeback we apparently had no answer for. A game we threw away.

Just sayin'. Great point BentZero
