I think that maybe they are holding Ivory back to save him until he's 100% for the playoffs. I have no information on this, but I'd say that Ivory probably could have played last night (at about 80%), but they are making sure he's fresh for the playoffs, perhaps. In the pre-season, many people would have been like, "Who?" at the mention of Jimmy Graham and Chris Ivory. Now they are household names across the country. These two will have a tremendous impact on our post season.
Kid has tons of upside. Shockey had a nice grab last night. Kind of crazy though, Shockey could lose his job to a kid that he probably knows from Graham's year at Miami.
Did ya'll notice the 360 goalpost dunk TD celebration that Jimmy Graham did? Effortless. This kid will be a star in the very near future.
Shockey was at UM a looong time ago. . . Yep. That was ill. Dude barely jumped. It's funny because you can just tell by his movements and body language that he's still a little uncomfortable on the football field. He's gonna be a real stud once he settles in.
No I know he was, but he probably still goes back and visits. You ever seen the U sideline at the big games??? Littered with Ex Canes.
He has the same background (basketball) as Antonio Gates only Jimmy Graham is way taller. I hesitate to say that he'll be the next Antonio Gates b/c it sounds stupid, cliche and unoriginal...like for years after Michael Vick every black QB that could run was referred to as a "Michael Vick Type". That being said...Jimmy Graham is the next Antonio Gates. If not he is the "Antonio Gates type" at the very least. :grin:
