sharky Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Remember, before pre-season got started there were some talking real negative about HD. What do you have to say now? Don't be bashful, just come on out and admit you were one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoeSr Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 They should be growing fethers as they read this.Personally, I hadn't given up on Douglas. He showed enougg promise in 2008 where the oganization and fans alike both looked foward to an even better 2009. It's not like Douglas is a bust or anywhere near that; he suffered a very serious injury. Apparently, it really affected him that much b/c he has come out in these pre-season games and looked really, really good. One thing about him is this: I can never figure out how he gets as open as he does so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ryan Tutor Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Douglass disappointed last year but I did not give up on him and he wasnt playing the slot like he should be used and I expect a big year from harry D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a coordinator's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 There wasn't any valid reason to give up on Harry...Those ACL injuries are some serious bidness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I started a thread right before pre season predicting a huge year for HD because he is sandwiched between Roddy and Julio ......azzhats came on declaring I was crazy, there were not enough balls to go around ...HD is gonna be our deep threat this year ...watch this MOFO approach 1000 yards, and 7-8 TD's .....

vel Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It was funny seeing guys justify HD's knee injury as a result of his brick hands and saying he will never get them back. Now all of a sudden his confidence is back and his hands are back. HD is about to be a problem for teams this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sipifalcon Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 i will say that I'm glad that he worked his butt off this offseason to get back to form because last year was unacceptable I mean getting back to par didnt include dropping passes... Come on now... So I was one of them... Im glad hes back... Tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysnill1 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Douglass disappointed last year but I did not give up on him and he wasnt playing the slot like he should be used and I expect a big year from harry D.Harry could have had a big year last year. he struggled with a few drops but instead of going back to him to help with his confidence, balls were forced to Roddy & TG. Harry was pretty much open all season, and Ryan overthrew him almost every time he went deep. honestly the only thing i see from him different this year is that he's getting thrown to. if we keep going to him like we did in preseason, Harry could end up with around 50 - 60 catches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonderboy09 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I was expecting him to be a more explosive element for us last year, so I was disappointed in his production but I didn't figure he was done. The 2nd year after the injury usually tells if the player can get back....and we've seen that he is definitely back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the NFL that one millisecond can be the difference between bad, good, and great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharky Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Weems is still a better receiver than Douglas. Weems > Douglas in everything.Strongly disagree, at this point I'm not sure if he's a better return guy. However, Weems has my support and respect.

However, Weems has my support and respect.Ww bro weems is less fragile. A better catcher. Douglas hasn't returned squat since 08. How do you figure that Douglas is better? The only thing Douglas is better at is speed not by much. And he's a taller receiver. Which is better. I'm not saying Douglas sucks just that weems is better.
