timmat":3rijhxc1 said:I said it many weeks back - I bet he catches a lot of balls in the NFL at some point - it just won't be for the Hawks. As much as I wanted him to succeed here, he never would have with a QB like Wilson that needs to see 3-5yds of separation before throwing the ball. The separation Matthews has is the space above him - not the space between him and the defender. He showed it in the Super Bowl. I would have like to have seen some high-point balls to him NOT work before giving up on him. Tall receivers who get 1-on-1 coverage are great options for beating a pass rush where a QB needs to get rid of the ball quickly. Sound familiar? It burns me some that they never game him consistent targets to see that NOT work before throwing in the towel.
Wasn't it that Russel guy that threw to him in the super bowl?timmat":1rzi8qp6 said:I said it many weeks back - I bet he catches a lot of balls in the NFL at some point - it just won't be for the Hawks.
