It's not sexy but it is effective.
My problem is, he is rarely put in a position that ISN'T blocking.
Also, where the hell do you get the idea that isn't quick enough to get open? He gets open the majority of the times he is asked to, the rest of the time he is blocking for a run/screen/swing pass. Check his 3 cone time.
The only legitimate argument I have heard knocking him comes from Htis... the coaches aren't using him because he is limited in his knowledge of the offense. I'm just not sure I buy that but I have no proof against it.

beyond stupid
Hemingway might have the potential to be better than McCluster but until he actually DOES IT then he is just a ST guy who can block.
So you think that Reid just doesn't feel like using Hemingway for no reason? There is a reason and since Hemingway seems to have the physical ability it only make sense that it's the mental aspect of the game.
McCluster wasn't great but at least he actually DID something.
still waiting on Hemingway
