Hemingway so far
So, how does everyone feel about Junior so far this year?
I am disappointed with the amount of targets (9) and he has 1 drop (and it was a bad one) but the rest of his stats are decent. 9.8 yds per reception. 24 yards after catch. And all 4 of his catches have been for 1st downs. The one thing that has been impressive has been his downfield blocking. Of our WRs he is head and shoulders beyond anyone in this category. I'd actually like to see a stat for yardage on runs/screens/swing passes to his side when he is on the field. So any thoughts on why he isn't seeing the field more(as a receiving threat and not just a blocker)? I know Htismaqe will say it's because he has trouble learning the offense(any offense) and this may be true. I agree with this to an extent but I expected him to be able to pick it up by now.

I've heard of this big drop more than once in the past couple days but don't remember when it occurred.
Can anyone remind me? |

Hemingway seems to be JAG. It's fair to wonder if he could ever be more, since he isn't a priority in the offense whatsoever. I have to think the Chiefs would find ways to use him more, if he was impressing them in weekly practices. As of now, he's just a rarely noticed player on his final contract year.. likely to disappear without a **** given.

Not sure how you could possibly come to that conclusion. He hasn't come near the production that Dex had.
Hemingway's best asset is his special teams play. He's our new Terrance Copper.

I disagree. Dex was good in the slot for reasons we didn't expect and reasons Tennessee is too dumb to notice. Dex would be doing really well in this new offense. Not because of speed. As a hands or possession receiver. Why Tennessee put him back in the gadget role, who the **** knows.
I agree with general consensus here. Hemingway is a phenomenal special teamer, very good blocker, and occasional pass catcher. He is basically the new terrence copper. |

I've seen nothing but good from him when the passes go his way. I'd love to see more.
(I must have missed the big drop too), but that is not surprising considering I have little munchkins that are asking for Juice and snacks every 5 minutes during the games. |

He's not a star by any means, but you need some junior hemingways on your roster. Does a lot of good things for this squad.
For a 7th round pick, that's all you can ask for |
