[MENTION=8076]apfenny3[/MENTION] what hapd?

Talked to my coach this week, he gave me generic coach bs but couldn't think of much to say negatively against me besides hammering the fact that I'm short. If that was a legitimate concern I'm not sure why they'd continue to beg me to come here after they saw my size when I took my visit. I think I got in maybe only 7 or 8 plays today, a few block, wide open on 4 routes but the only ball I was thrown was a bubble screen that was way out in front of me and uncatchable.

Dam. I was watching the box score updates hoping for something.

Put the crank on the desk.

Yeah it sucks, it's one thing if I wasn't playing well but that hasn't been the case. I've done everything else I can so I think that's my last option lol

I respect that you didn't want to have to go to the crank, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

You have to give them the opportunity to avoid it. Once they doubt it's prowess, they can only pray to god to save them.
 
Coach, let's look at the tape together so I can get your insights on how to improve and get more reps in...

I said that in my meeting. He didn't have anything to say on what I need to improve on. I've been trying to improve my height since that's all he had to talk about but unfortunately it hasn't been working.
 
Lots of people rooting for you here. All you can do is keep working. It doesn't make sense but it's all you can control.

This is your last shot at this. Don't go out without swinging. Nice guys don't necessarily finish last, but they often get overlooked.

You want to be an agent, well then, you gotta start selling yourself. It's starts now.

You played at the ******* U. You rolled with the best. You know what it takes. We are all behind you!

You are #15 ? Looked wide open on a few of those.

As someone pointed out, you were open. The QB needs to throw the ball to you.
 
Coach, let's look at the tape together so I can get your insights on how to improve and get more reps in...

I said that in my meeting. He didn't have anything to say on what I need to improve on. I've been trying to improve my height since that's all he had to talk about but unfortunately it hasn't been working.

Not much of a coach, then, is he? ... Well, brainstorming here, how about this: coach, I went back to the tape and here are three things I saw. Can you watch it again with me and help me walk through them with you?

How close are you to the QB? Maybe ask him to run through his progressions with you after practice? If he's a good guy, ask Stacy Coley to land you a pair of tickets to the Vikes game and bring him along? One pass leads to the next. One thing's for certain is that Rosier's going to throw to Berrios on 3rd downs after this last game. Took 4 years for Braxton to get the attention he deserves.
 
Just keep grinding, good brother.

Unfortunately, Kraemer kind of stinks and its unfortunate you're not playing for Chris Creighton and just the dudes he left behind as he moved on to greener pastures. All you can do rn is grind. Just force the issue.

I'm cool with him, but I don't think he goes through his progressions much and usually makes his mind up pre snap. I feel like I'm in the same boat as Braxton was, being used mostly on the outside and running way too many go routes. In this offense they have the slot as more of a hybrid TE/WR guy instead of using someone quick that can make plays in space.

Creighton is a tremendous coach from what I've heard, would've been nice to have him
 
Hey bro, I guess if your there on ship then stick it out for the financial aspect, but if your not then I’d go ahead and move on and dedicate more of your time to your prospective professional field. I respect you for sticking with your passion as long as you have. In that respect your are truly an inspiration to 95% of athletes in America. You stayed in great shape and you played until you found that wall you couldn’t climb. Nothing wrong with that! You seem to have a great sense of humor and are obviously a smart kid. Best of luck to you! If you want to vacation in Vermont lmk I have a guest room. You can so hit up the ski bunnies at MtSnow!
