Hatcher

[OttoinGrotto]

Awesome to see Hatcher make a play snagging a TD.

But the really eye opening play was him running down Allen on the 90 yard run.

Shrader isn't the only dude on the team with a pilot's license because Hatcher was FLYIN'.

Anyway, I'm hopeful this gives him the opportunity to build on and get some more playing time. I think the snaps are there to be had at WR. Looking at you, Alford.

Also, nice to see Hayes and Queeley get their first catches of the season. It is really weird to me that Queeley, for as much as he's played and as little as Alford seems to produce, seemingly isn't in the rotation at all.

Speaking of Queeley and Alford, I was super impressed by two things yesterday: 1) every ball was caught and 2) the downfield blocking.

Hatcher’s wheels on the 90-yarder…oh my.

And he seems to have that swagger you want in a WR. Haven’t had that since Triston (Orande has a little.) I’m hungering for WRs that have a nasty attitude and feel good that they will win an unfair share of 50/50 balls.

I think this is a mysterious aspect of the team.

I dunno, Oronde is very impressive. Cool as a cucumber all the time.

 

[hoopsupstate]

On the touchdown, Hatcher blew right past the defense. He looks pretty quick.

He also looks super skinny.

You'd make a good color guy.

I hope that Shrader has learned to put the ball out there for the WR to go get it even if not wide open and I hope the WRs learned they can go get it.

So was Marvin Harrison. If you've got that speed and length, and have decent hands, can be a matchup nightmare for opposing D.

Think its a combination of a nagging injury thats slowly improved, a few too many drops last year, and the overall quality of our WR room shooting up. Gotta re earn that spot with a new OC

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Hatcher has that twitch, while being skinny, that those old Miami Hurricanes receivers had from the 90’s.

 

[orangezen]

I don’t know why there has been little mention of Cooper .. I like what we’ve seen of him.

I once took a coaching class in college and was told if two guys are even with regards to their ability ro help the team, you play the younger guy because he has a better chance to improve. I think that's what we're seeing with Queeley. Even if the younger guys are far and away better, they even enough with him that we gain nothing by playing him instead.

I guess. I just don't see it with Alford.

Seems to have the physical tools but isn't developing. Possible he is just peaked. It happens but we will see.

Weird comp since Harrison didn't have length. To me Hatcher's closer to Taj Harris. But if you're going to compare him to the most talented receiver to ever come through the program, that's cool. Harrison had great speed and hands but what separated him was his elite route running skills. Also, while Harrison certainly was no juggernaut, take a look at his guns in comparison to Hatcher.

Not sure you want to use that description when it comes to Harrison

cooper is solid but unspectacular

I'm not one to let uncomfortable life truths get in the way of colorful descriptions.

I think he's pretty good. We could look for him more.

 

[AngryOtto]

I really liked hatchers catch. Beat his defender, turned his body to make the catch and got a foot down. Reminded me of the wake forest receivers that seem to always make those catches.

Yeah, that's one of those where I say the WR made a play.

Hatcher on the other hand…
