Gotta assume brooks ain’t far behind seeing as he’s not listed on the depth chart
He must have not tackled a lot worse than all the other guys on defense who aren’t tackling.Pope at DB I guess he couldn’t tackle.
You can't shake the drops forever. Hank did enough to shake them for a stellar senior season but they eventually came back and put him out of the league. By the time he retired he was topping 'worst hands in the league' lists. I was a huge Terrell Owens fan. When he fully contracted the dropsies midway through his career, they never went away.Ehhh, could be a mental thing. Like the yips in golf. Leonard Hankerson showed how to improve that aspect. Put in the work and it showed.
True, some guys never fully overcome it I guess. I just remember how good he was his last year for us, unbelievable difference.You can't shake the drops forever.

No, but right now, you can start at Tight End for Tight End U.You can't play as a WR anywhere if you're constantly dropping balls that hit you between the numbers.
Wiggins dropped 1 as well that would have been a gam changer.Pope dropped 2 in the bowl game, if caught they'd have been game changers.
Jacksonville State? Or is FSU scared to play them going forward?Wiggins should transfer to a team that plays FSU
This will be a nice case study for the theory that it's all coaching and the kids are great but the coaches prevent them from making plays. We'll see if Pope and Wiggins go anywhere and do anything of note.
Ask anyone that followed his team. He was a 7 on 7 pullWe can agree to disagree, but I don’t see how a scholarship football player at this level can be soft if getting up early and lifting weights all offseason…and all the training, practices, discipline, hits taken in practice and games and focus. And he’s got to do it while navigating school. Not to mention, all the hard work it took to even get the scholarship.
Might not have lived up what we all thought their potential was on the football field, but soft? Nah. Not seeing that
While I agree with your overall premise, I wouldn’t include “hits taken in practice”.....We can agree to disagree, but I don’t see how a scholarship football player at this level can be soft if getting up early and lifting weights all offseason…and all the training, practices, discipline, hits taken in practice and games and focus.

Blame coaches when they drop wide open bombs?I still blame the coaches, sorry.
Wrong. Stacey Coley might have always been “injured” but he’s the opposite of Mark Pope. He could beat the jam, he’d make catches in the middle of the field and he was one of the best contested ball catchers we’ve ever had. How many prayer goal line fades did Brad Kaaya toss to a perfect covered Coley that he still caught? Mark Pope never caught a contested ball ever. If he wasn’t given a free release, he could easily be jammed or thrown off his route because he was so weak. If there was. DB anywhere near him, he’d get scared and lose concentration and drop the pass because he was deathly afraid of being tackled.Pope is not soft
He just plain sucks
Nothing more nothing less
I would consider someone like Stacey coley soft
Pope always gets open, it’s just that he drops passes when he doesPope can separate at an FIU FAU he can't separate in this type of conference and that's bad.
He looks like a 7 on 7 demon, dont think hes NFL caliber IMO, might of been over rated coming out of HS thats just basically it. Again IMOPope always gets open, it’s just that he drops passes when he does
