I've been laughing at these tweets imagining them as Kelly quotes and not Golson ones.

Yeah Ben, I am sure there is a major difference between catching Everett's and Tommy's passes, especially since Everett beefed up.

He was putting some heat on those passes in the video posted. There's a noticeable difference between Zaire and Golson in terms a ball velocity. Zaire's isn't bad but Golson has a cannon.

EG hasn't met jojoblack yet?

 

[Luckylucci]

EG hasn't met jojoblack yet?

Interesting note, our dear friend Jojo has taken to II as well to try and convince those ND faithful. All joking aside Zaire looked pretty good in his own right. Has shortened up his release a little and could afford to do so a little more. Looks fluid and if Golson were to get hurt I'd be comfortable with him playing.
