'12 SC WR Chris Brown (Notre Dame Man)

[phgreek]

...I don't know if it was the camera angles or what, but I was watching the UND.com practice vids...when I saw CB run away from the defender on the crossing route, and when GAIII turned the corner...Spontaneous Loud WOOO just came out of me...

Thats Just "what the hell was that" speed/acceleration right there.

 

[Irish YJ]

PHG I'm with ya. I've been WOOOing just thinking about the new WRs, and the improved overall team speed. I just hope what you saw is truly indicitive to their phenomenal speed instead of lack of speed or bad coverage from our DBs

I love being west...until this time of year...would love to take in a practice...what'd people do before web-based video clips...

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

All this talk about improved team speed has me very excited about this season. I'm very impressed with Chris from everything I've been reading. I think Chris will be that deep threat speedster that we've been lacking for some time.

 

[Irish YJ]

Yep, I feel ya. I moved from Indy in 97 to Atlanta. I had season tix.... Haven't even been to the game in about 7 years.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Is Chris Brown starting?

 

[Domina Nostra]

Is Chris Brown starting?

It's not clear. Kelly literally said he was starting, but from the context its not clear if he was intending to say that he will be starting Game 1. What it really sounded like he was saying is that there are some up-and-comers that bring something to the table and will definitly be seeing the field.

No goodman, jones and toma are

For now....

For now....

Yeah, I thin the only thing Goodman has over Brown is that he probably understands the play book better. Other than that, Goodman probably doesn't stand a chance against Brown athletic wise

Wait an effin minute. All of a sudden many of you guys are starting to get stupid with freshman fever.

A) Everybody is playing, lots of bodies this year, IT IS THE FIRST AND MOST DECISIVE THING KELLY SAID.

B) This freshman thing is out of hand because they will just get broken if they are thrown to the wolves.

C) Why in the hell don't you think your sophs, juniors, and seniors have made huge strides also?

D) Success for this team is going to be throwing a thousand looks at teams, then exploiting discovered weaknesses; celebrate diversity.

E) The function of these awesome freshmen is to increase the level of play of the whole TEAM!!! It ain't about getting back to old CW's cult of the personality. Oh, this guy is going to save us, etc, etc, vomit.

F) You all are sending your expectations through the roof. I can see it; you are just going to disappoint yourselves.

I would be shocked, and upset, if Goodman was starting at year's end.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Exactly my point Buster, exactly my point. But it is about getting there.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

John Goodman is gonna prove the hatas wrong imo.

With that said, brown daniels and Neal will be seeing minutes too.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Hope they all do; see?

 

[Walter White]

I would only be slightly shocked but not upset.

Goodman has a tremendous amount of athleticism and speed to go along with his long frame. I think he is too much of a thinker when he is in the game which slows him down and cuts down on his ability. If he lets loose this year and gets a lot of TD's I will not be upset if he is our starter.

I always like rooting for the seniors though. Especially when they put it all together for their final year. Watching Jonas Gray last year was something special.

And 43 lbs...

 

[Old Man Mike]

Downfield blocking......

 

[Domina Nostra]

Chris will be a master of the zen art of "soft" blocking. If the safety is chasing Chris, he will not be tackling Davonte.

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

On the first drive of the game he blew by the db.. Put him with Dneal and this is some serious speed on the field.

 

[polishjuice4]

He was two steps away from getting his first touchdown. I like how we can throw down field now.

 

[ryno 24]

Its good he is getting experience and he will eventually be very good to great. He needs to work on blocking as well he did miss a big block. He will be a good deep threat soon.

Got that one down! Good call!

 

[irishfanjho15]

So I started a NCAA 13 dynasty and got offered the ND job after two years with Ohio and a year with UCLA. In my second ND season Chris Brown was a RS Senior. He proceeded to have over 1900 yards receiving, 28 receiving TDs, returned to 2 missed FGs for TDs, and had over 2000 return yards including 6 kickoffs returns for TDs and 4 punt return TDs. This single season for the ages won him the 2016 Heisman.

He finished with over 4100 total yards and 40 TDs in a single season.

We can only hope.

 

[ndfi78]

Now that is a season!

 

[Ironman8]

You can return missed FGs for TDs in NCAA '13?

 

[irishfanjho15]

You can return missed FGs for TDs in NCAA '13?

Yep they are considered fum recoveries, fum return yards, and defensive TDs.

They mostly come on field goal attempts of 50+ yards. I always pick FG block return as my play and it puts your deep back in the endzone. Devin Hester did the same for the Bears and returned one for like 106 yards (or something crazy like) for a TD.
