Good news .

[hobhog]

Hmmm. Fullback position as feared: slack to be taken up by solid TE group.

Was it just me or did the audio cut out every time they were talking about something I wanted to hear?

I know -- I think what he said about D Reed was

[immahog]

What's Drew morgan and coach B deal ?

[southeasthog]

What's Drew morgan and coach B deal ?

None. There was an day earlier in camp when Bielema felt Drew wasn't concentrating enough and giving 100%. He chewed his butt pretty good and Drew has responded well according to reports. Coach Smith was asked about that. There hasn't been another incident.

It wasnt a big deal, Morgan was being tripped up by his massive ego, and Coach B put him in check. Im sure he has done that with others as well

The way a coach put it earlier -- Morgan had been slow to accept the idea that how you practice affects how you play. Not always a big-effort guy in practice. Had been satisfied with occasionally showing how good he could be, rather than trying to be that good on every play.

Morgan has hardly made a difference on the field in two years. But the coaches are convinced he is one of the Hogs' best receivers. The top six they named yesterday:

Hatcher
Cornelius
Robinson in the slot

Morgan
Hollister
Reed

[Albert Einswine]

I like the communication skills of our coaches. Bret has put together a sharp staff.

Well play     s   boy

Not just you, happened to me to.  Is there anyone who didn't have audio dropout problems?

This is so awesome!!  This is how a HC builds a winning program -- by holding every single player accountable to that standard.  I love it!!

Hatcher
Cornelius

Morgan
Hollister
Reed

Interesting how Mr. Hollister is listed in there, but he is almost NEVER mentioned by anyone on Hogville to be a valued member of that group.

Perception is a funny thing -- and often wrong.

Very true. If Hogville had its way, Reed would be the only receiver to ever play.

Although it's not supposed to be acceptable to bash current players, the WR group has been bashed more than the rest of the team put together.  According to many here on Hogville there's not a one of them worth shooting -- except for DR!!

I'll add this: Keon Hatcher is a quality WR.  I believe he'll play at the next level.  IMO he made BA look a whole lot better than BA made him look last year.  But he doesn't get a whole lot of respect around here.

Not being a great practice player would the LAST thing you would think Morgan would be accused of.  Yes he has the typical Greenwood ego, but he was a workout beast.  Whether it was CrossFit or real football practice. 

Maybe the grind is starting to wear him down.

Ah yes, the backup quarterback syndrome.

Love them till they actually hit the field and have a chance to make a mistake or two!

Not sure how you got anything from that post about a backup QB.  The post was to address the incorrect perception some fans have about some players.

No hidden agenda.  I just don't like people putting down Keon and our WR's in an attempt to build BA up.

[Bigdavis]

They must have gotten these videos from rivals. Their audio has been cutting in and out on every player and coach interview for weeks.

[Hog N Bama]

Was it just me or did the audio cut out every time they were talking about something I wanted to hear?

Yeah it cut out here too. Interesting how it cut out on the most interesting questions  For the love of God, would somebody please buy a microphone or two for the media room so we can hear.

[threeNout]

can't watch the video, what's the "Come to Jesus" all about?

[Mulberry Squeezins]

It's referencing a question by a reporter regaeding the conversation Bielema had awhile back, and how Morgan has responded in a positive way.

Hollister was not listed when coaches ran through the top six receivers earlier in camp. Who knows what changed.

No Police report so far so maybe his Mom is sick???

[AugustaHog]

Hatcher has the ability to be a very good WR and build on a very solid 2014.  Reed is the ultimate "potential" guy.  He has all the freak athletic statistics which certainly encourages daydreaming about 80 yd TD catches.  I think we will see some good things out of him, but next year he will really shine.  Cornelius and Jojo are the keys.  If they live up to the potential, BA will have lots of weapons to work with.  Hollister and Morgan lack the Wow Factor, but are just plain good WRs.  They seem to settle really well and find holes in the D.  That 2nd string group of WRs could be very good this yr.

Happened to me too - rather frustrating...

I've been on the other side of this conversation in the past, but I agree that Hatcher is good and has been good. However, one WR doesn't a corps make, even with Henry. He has more help now, so I expect the WRs to be much much better.

For the first time, I'm actually worried more about BA than the whole of the weapons around him. I still think he'll be ok. Gotta have faith.

You misunderstood me. My point was DR is getting love based on potential and the fact he's not had a chance to make a mistake yet. I think he'll do well, but it's funny to me to see him talked up more than Hatcher when he's a known commodity, much like a backup QB is over the starter.

Why fear what appears to be by design?

Massive ego? Do you know DM?

As for the chewing, I like to see our even-tempered coach lose it from time to time. That shows passion!

He's known by more than a few people to be his own biggest fan.

I have never met the kid and im a fan, but when your head coach says in a press conference he needs toleave his ego at the door, its a safe bet the kid has a massive opinion of himself. I dont think thats a negative at all. We need some of that on offense imo

[Phil D]

can't watch the video, what's the "Come to Jesus" all about?

According to Michael Smith, Drew dropped three passes in a row and Coach BB had seen enought came over and laid into him. Coach Smith said thats my boss and I wasnt getting in the middle of that. LOL. Anyway thats the story from coach smith. :razorback:

OK, still don't understand what "Come to Jesus" has to do with any of that, I'm still just missing an important piece I guess.

never heard that one before, never too old to learn something I guess. thanks.

Actually the origin of that saying was the old church meetings or tent meetings where a preacher would bring the fire and preach the word with tremendous intensity and forcefulness, so much so that people would respond and "come to Jesus".

It came out of that to mean anytime someone "brought the fire" and preached a word that the listener had better get his mind around, and right now!!

I think this situation was definitely a come to Jesus moment for young Mr. Morgan!!
