The is the guy who gives maximal effort when everyone else is pacing at 80%, resulting in the Thursday all star looking like a stud starter, but come game time Saturday, dude falls back down to Earth.
I admit the bar is not high for him to be better than Hubbard last season, as Sam was hurt, but I am cautiously optimistic.
Plus I think Golden's defense will have some wrinkles to take advantage of his athleticism.
Lack of effort has never been a problem for Shemar. He has great work ethic. It is the little things, keeping his head up, using his hands quicker
hitting the line, his hand fighting and finishing off the QB. These are all things that can be coached up which is great. You can't really teach better
twitch which is about the one thing that he has for a weakness that you cannot coach up. His hand fighting looked good against Fairchild and Mims
in these TC vids to me and when Trey is back he can help as he is maybe the best hand fighting End in the NFL.
I agree, not a high bar to be better than a hurt and older Sam from last season and also think Golden's Defense should help him out.
Higgy is a poster on here that watched tons of A&M film as he is an Aggies fan and he swears by the A&M Defense being hard on the Ends to be
productive especially if you are the one End Offenses focus on slowing down which was the case with Shemar.
