top-end top-endedness
Watching the video Brian posted of Jeremy Gallon, I thought, "Hmmmm...he just doesn't look as fast as I thought he would be."
Don't get me wrong. Gallon is a tough runner with good speed and he changes direction like whoa. He looks like a more athletic Odoms.
I guess my question is this:
Is there a guy on the current roster or incoming who looks like a gamebreaker, a la DeSean Jackson or Joe McKnight or Noel Devine? A guy who can take it the distance on any given play, with blocking or without?
I think Shaw is VERY fast, and so is Minor. But both are more straight line runners than ones who can create for themselves. I don't think Odoms is "that guy," although he's good. I'm not sure about Terrance Robinson, since he was hurt and the only real video I saw of him was the "Dream Shake," which was awesome but only one play (and even then it didn't go the distance).
Thoughts?

Dex's comment is not as long as I thought it would have been.

People have a very loose interpretation of "disappointment" around here.
Some might interpret this comment as meaning you hope Dex dies and that his whole family gets testicular cancer.

"He looks like a more athletic Odoms."
This is right up there with the statement "Looks kinda like a hotter Kate Beckinsale".
That's UNPOSSIBLE!!!!

This is going to sound gay, but Gallon has awesome hips. He changes direction very quickly, which is perhaps his best quality.

Also, if we land Jayron Hosley out of FL, he could be the guy you're asking about. Kid's supposed to be a SICK kick and punt returner.

magnus, a word of advice. something i learned in elementary school--when kids start making fun of you, shrug and say "pssh...get the fuck out of here". get mad and it gives people pleasure in making fun of you.
feeling the need to fight back at everyone making fun of you on a chat board qualifies as the latter.
just shrug it off mate.

This is how you tear a hole in someone's chest and punch them in their soul. Woopig.net is a razorback messageboard. They pride themselves on not giving a frick about anyones feelings and voicing their opinions, loud. If you go to this site, don't start a post. Find a post a newbie started and enjoy. Magnus is getting off easy compared to what these guys would do.
