Jojo Trader and Lofton are the key to beating A&M and a deep playoff run

I will say they stepped up and made plays when it was time. Al we needed was a catch or two and both helped.

2 catches for 10 yards for trader, 2 catches for 23 yards for lofton through the entirety of the playoffs.

lofton’s catch against ole miss was the only remotely consequential play. you can admit to being wrong (or just take the l in silence) and not look dumb doubling down and moving the goalposts out of the stadium.

Was he not hailed as having incredible hands? (pause).

In warmups, he had that Malachi catching ability but then in games, he lacked the focus and concentration.

When I think of JoJo, my first thoughts of him are the dropped pass that led to the first INT for Beck vs SMU, which was disappointing after scoring a TD and then more disappointing after that INT led to a TD for SMU.

Next thoughts were the dropped passes vs Ohio State and Ole Miss.

Had that very good Bowl game vs Iowa State and that’s the best he gave us as a player here. One ******* game!

**** he's moving the goalposts like Vandy did after beating Bama moving it miles down the road and throwing it in the river.

JoJo is like that golf buddy you call “Ranger Rick.”

On the range? Tiger Woods. He’s hitting every shot shape imaginable and absolutely bombing his driver dead straight.

Come Saturday tee time? He duck-hooks it left 125 yards out of bounds, drops to hit his third, excavates four yards of turf, **** near breaks both wrists chunking the daylights out of it, and then four-putts the first hole.

He looks at you and says,

“One, drop three, four, five. Put me down for bogey.”

You laugh… and quietly build a snowman on the card for him.

Its ironic that jojo was a 5 star and his wr teammate went on to win a title and be amazing. We got yearby and Dalvin cook went on to be amazing and win a title. Looks like some players are overinflated due to a generational (or close to it) talent

They benefit from those players, the one whos always more explosive and bigger is usually the better prospect. pause

Yearby actually did something though...

Why do people feel the need to mention Cook and Yearby when discussing Jojo and Smith? Yearby rushed for 1000 yards in 2015 and was at least solid. Jojo had what 14 catches in 2 years.

Read my post 3 posts above yours. It's an accurate description of him

They do it because there were two at the same position at the same school and we got the less good of the two each time but yearby contributed here where as jojo did far less.
 
There is no way to prove that Lofton wasn't the reason we lost to Indiana, and thus didn't get to the deepest part of a playoff run: A Natty

He did but did he deserve the hype to be rated almost a five star then leave school early to go undrafted, not make the nfl nor cfl. My point is his talent was grossly inflated by our fans. He was a solid college rb and a great Cane for us.

Sure but Yearby >> Jojo. Yearby was one of many Canes that was overrated and left early but of that group he's one of the few that had pretty good production.

Jojo is in that second bucket of being hyped to the moon and have near 0 production. If anything his drops cost us more than what he provided. He did block pretty well though.
 
Wtf is this thread bro. We don’t gotta pay guys top receiver money to go run cardio for 5 plays a game. I’d argue our long snapper had a bigger impact this year than Jojo. The way people tell kickers their only job is to kick, receivers job is to catch and bro couldn’t do that. Idgaf what route he run if he drop the ball (ex. Kadarius Toney). He prob wanted market for wr2 type money and he was gonna be wr5 this year. I seen more fans beg for Jojo than Lorenzo Lingard.

I def got caught up on spring practice clips of JoJo. He looked to have great balance and was one handing everything. Call me duped.
 
Lofton contributed but he underperformed expectations. Prob had an average season for a d1 tight end which isn’t good enough for TEU. Best thing he did all year was keep Bauman off the field. Look what happened when that bum got forced to play.
