I was thinking Lev Bell, but WR was his "issue"
Pickens
- Thread starter polythemus
- Start date
Pickett locks onto receivers and that is an issue. He gets happy feet because his 1st look is often covered or runs an incorrect route (running into coverage), and almost always keeps staring at the 1st read and waiting for him to get open. That triggers the tap-dancing.
Pickens was wiiiiiiiiide open at least 5 times that I counted when looking over O'Sullivan's game report: the crossing route 1st quarter, the route over middle from the slot in the 2nd quarter, the deep ball to DJ when Pickens was crossing again and the defender was well behind him, the failed TD catch, and on DJ's touchdown.
Kenny locks onto DJ and Pickens starts walking after the pass leaves Kenny's hand, even when the play is still going on. Pickens is to blame for the failure to get his feet inbounds. No doubt. That is 100% on him. But we need to realize the dude gets open and Kenny does not even look his way.

No worries.
This is why Canada is now on the sideline; he can work with his players, in game, to point out better options.
Have no fear, Canada is here.
Good news, bad news situation here.
The good news: George Pickens was spotted working out like a maniac yesterday.
The bad news: His workout consisted of hoisting patio furniture.

The real question is———— what floor of the building was he spotted on durring this time—————-
Salute the nation
He had his moments at UGA. Got kicked out of the game vs GA Tech in 2019 for fighting their DB, same competitive side in wanting the ball and ignoring teammates. He cools off. He’s not AB level crazy. Unless he lands a big contract like AB 2012 then perhaps the money brings the worst out of him
He's not AB level crazy but he's starting earlier. AB wasn't that huge diva his first handful of years. It was after he got paid. GP has been showing his immaturity, etc. since he got here last year and he's done it in every game this year. He's now getting flagged for all of his jawing and taunting. Someone needs to knock some sense into him so he can control himself. I knew this was coming as soon as DJ got back. DJ gets a lot of targets. KP will go to his first read if he's open and that is probably DJ as it was last year. You can't blame him for throwing to the first guy he sees that is open. If GP is the main read, then it will go to him if he's open. That's how it works. Open, then no need to look for your next option. GP thinks he is always the guy. He was when DJ was out and even then he complained at times.

Pretty spot on.
Tomlin has said “I will put up with you, until I can replace you”.
I’m sure Coach Tomlin will try to address this GP problem sooner than later and that replacement will be as a last option. The WR room and veteran players, including CAM, need to address this immediately and sooner. If talk doesn’t work,
then practice “take out” will.

I hate to say it and I don’t have any proof…. But it almost looked like he didn’t get that second foot down on purpose.
I really don’t know how else to explain it… it was almost shocking to see for such a talented wide out.. but I wouldn’t put such a spiteful act past the troubled kid..
As they say…
He ain’t right man!

Given the length of Matt Canada’s tenure, Tomlin’s leash has gotten pretty long.

He was watching Rocky IV where The Rock is working out in the snow using a tree trunk while Vlade was working out on the Nautilus Super Power machines...
My 1st workout equipment at age 12 was a single red brick for curls...
Go Georgie, Go Georgie...

Nah, he wouldn’t have celebrated then…. Now he might have been trying to be more dramatic, but he wouldn’t tank that intentionally
You started out right. Working each side individually avoids powering up the stronger side even more, as usually happens with barbells and curling bar.
My first weight set in 1974 consisted of a hollow metal tube for the barbell, two smaller hollow metal tubes for the dumbbells, and those plastic covers filled with cement for the weights. Had to get a wrench to tighten the little locking nuts at the end of the collars.

I think I had the same set. Hollow bars and plastic covered concrete and all. A few actually split open after a while. It came from Sears in '74 or '75. The collars went on and there was a wrench to tighten the square head of the screw. I didn't get it tight enough one time doing bench presses, and when one side of the barbell was lower than the other side all the weights went sliding off that side. Then the other, heavy side slammed the floor and the barbell got me in the neck. Good times.You started out right.

Hell yeah! Read up George from one of the greatest and be a team player.
Someone will lay him out eventually with the jawing he does. It’s a learning lesson for him
That is awesome, Jiminoh. And I had forgotten about that dumb fake wrench to tighten the locking nuts until you mentioned it. Without a doubt my parents got the set at Sears when it was on sale.
By the time I was 17, I could lift a lot of weight. By that point, I had purchased 45 lb. iron plates. I put every weight I had on the barbell - cement, iron plates, every single weight I had and totaled 245 lbs. - and the hollow bar bent noticeably. Did reps with the 245.
