'22 WA WR Tobias Merriweather (Notre Dame Signee)

[irishandy]

Perfect pass, perfect catch, he was untouched on his TD catch.

He is going to succeed here, unleash him vs OSU....patience is a virtue!

Wow. To me it didn’t even look like he was running hard.

Yep! Dude is so lanky, looks like he's just jogging out there haha.

How has this thread not been bumped?

In a game where his team needed him more than ever, he played worse than ever. His body language is abysmal. This is what I feel Jordan Johnson probably looked like

Catch the ball

Catch the ball

Catch the ball?
I'd settle for a half hearted effort to come back to the ball to actually get a flag thrown.
If I'm the official I'm not giving him shit either

 

[PutuporShutup]

I’m selling on him big time, Rico and him were bad tonight

 

[DillonHall]

I'm shocked at how bad he's been. Even worse than Lorenzo Styles

I know he's only a sophomore but he can't catch the ball. I think Morrison can catch footballs better

 

[stlnd01]

He's just not good at the little things that make you a good WR. Seems like a nice kid though.

I have elite self control and only ride the high road...

 

[IA4irish]

It’s difficult to come up with words for how bad he looks out there. The fact that he hasn’t gotten benched just shows how bad nd’s wr depth is. Del Alexander still coming back to bite us

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

He's clumsy and it feels like the game is too fast for him right now.
Hopefully that changes soon.

Congrats on being 50% correct!

 

[ColinKSU]

I know his dad isn’t going to want to hear this, but they can’t rely on Tobias right now.

 

[notredomer23]

I’ve been a Tobias defender the whole year but the picked up flag where he didn’t show even the slightest bit of effort really made me turn on him. I hope he can figure it out because he’s got elite traits, but I don’t think I’ve seen a worse game played by a receiver in an ND uniform than tonight. Kadarius Toney week 1 bad

I’m selling on him big time, Rico and him were bad tonight

Rico is understandable
Especially with this many snaps (convinced he was never meant to play all of these plays and may not even know the whole play book) but Rico still had some good moments and he's ornery
Tobias? Not even close

 

[Plankton]

Kid needs to spend all waking hours with a Juggs machine.

Tobias‘ underwhelming performance didn’t surprise me but Rico’s did.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

I thought he was Mossing our guys in practice?

The corners he practices against are some of the best ones he'll ever play against.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Kid needs to get his head out of his ass. To use Mike Goolsby term: Tobias is a goofy kid and needs to grow up.

 

[notredomer23]

Kid needs to spend all waking hours with a Juggs machine.

Needs about 20 extra grams of creatine a day too. If he had 10-15 pounds more of muscle it wouldn’t really slow him down much at all and he could compete physically

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Kid needs to spend all waking hours with a Juggs machine.

And learn how to catch a back shoulder pass.

 

[Junkhead]

Early season, get Tobias involved so he doesn't transfer. These days, why is on on scholarship? Half kidding, but he was awful tonight. It has to get better for him right?

 

[stlnd01]

Rico is a true freshman. He's not supposed to be our WR1. Merriweather is.

 

[IA4irish]

All of the beat writers I listen to said they NEVER saw him beat the corners on a contested catch in fall camp. Not once. The entire fall camp.

 

[Lberry]

Soft, has weak hands. Been saying it for 6 weeks now.

 

[AlaskanIrish]

Honestly, I didn't get Goolsby's usage of the word "goofy" about him until tonight. I agree.

 

[T-Boone]

Sort of have to question Stuckey at this point. Styles last year, now Merriweather.

On the other hand, we have freshman WRs making plays and showing good understanding of where to settle in a zone, and Tyree is playing well. Have to give the coach his due as well.

There's nothing to suggest that Tobias would be great if it wasnt for Stuckey, and Lorenzo is currently riding the pine as a CB at OSU.
