| FTBL JULIO!!!

1980, I think we will have more next year...

Speaking of receivers, Texas Tech has a great one in Crabtree.

Julio is good and will likely be great at some point, but I'm not ready to elevate him to Palmer status just yet. Now if he wants to take a snap or two and run the option, then maybe...


:wink:

He will be better than Palmer if he has a QB that can give him the ball and if he can avoid serious injury.

If those things happen then Julio will go on have a pro career. I am not sure which Julio you might be watching, and I REALLY respect David Palmer, but Julio is a different type of athlete from what I can tell.

you know you make a great point about the QB. not to dampen spirits here or trying to look ahead but... what about our QB situation next year?

His YAC is huge, no doubt about it.

A couple of things I will say about Julio...

He knows how to throw a block downfield and I have never seen him show out and bring attention to himself. You can't ask for a better teammate than that.

He also gets good yardage after initial contact. Kid is a beast.

He also has a natural talent for confusing his man in single coverage. He just has unbelievable skill and raw talent in so many ways.

Don't forget he had 3 drops that would have added to his already amazing yardage totals.

The QB situation next year is exactly what I was intimating with that comment. I hope we are able to put the ball in Julio's hands.

I know it has all been said but I just have to chime in. Julio continues to impress me, the way he moves after he catches a ball is remarkable considering he is,what, 18......I don't think I have seen him tackled by 1 defender all year. Look at that catch in the second half where he drug several defenders down the field. He will continue to be better and better, I just hope we all remember that he is a Freshman and when he makes a mistake to give him a bit of slack. He looks like he will be the best receiver that I have ever seen in Crimson.

Thats fricking hilarious...

I love to keep hearing the Ozzie references. He looks alot like him after a catch.

He has the best hitch route for a big guy I've seen in a while. One on one, that route is there all the tme. Money

He's easily the best freshman receiver I've ever seen at UA.
