Stovall’s Got A Football 24/7
November 17th, 2009
Listening to Total Access last night on 620 WDAE-AM (Joe’s sports radio partner), Joe learned Maurice Stovall is taking his season extraordinarily seriously.
Raheem The Dream was co-hosting his Monday night show when co-host TJ Rives asked the head coach about Stovall’s new season-long habit: carrying a football with him wherever he goes.
Raheem The Dream confirmed that Stovall takes the football “everywhere” as part of his renewed commitment to being a great receiver. “He’s probably home bouncing it on the floor right now.”
Stovall’s focus has paid off, Raheem The Dream said, though the head coach said Stovall not holding on to a touchdown throw from Josh Freeman prevented the wide reciever from having “a great game on Sunday,” rather than just “good game.”
Joe was pleased to learn of Stovall’s dedication.
One thought that quickly came to mind: Perhaps Raheem The Dream should insist Michael Clayton perform the same ritual.

Uhm, Joe, better yet, have Clayton carry two footballs and juggle them 24\7. Maybe, just maybe, that might help. That said, Stovall should be starting right now. We need to see this kid in a regular role to see how he develops.

Joe, there you go again! …writing something negative about Michael Clayton.

Louie, but it’s so easty to do. We are talking about Micheal “couldn’t catch a cold, if he licked a walk-in clinics floor” Clayton!

Clayton did until he dropped it in the Gulf while at the beach.

Clayton should tape a football to his mouth so he will stfu.
The Freeman to Stovall TD was a thing of beauty…..hope Jets fans were watching, they’d be wishing Senor sanchez could do that.

Louie,
MIchael Clayton is awful. And we pay him out the a$$….that guy is a back up on 31 other teams, AT BEST.

At this point I would rather have Clayton just carrying his walking papers.
Stroughter and Stovall are the only two WRs this team should keep. Bryant isn’t worth his money (and drops almost as many passes as Clayton)….BUT we’ll see what he does the rest of the year. Everyone else is expendable.
The WR & D-Line are all about seeing who stays and who goes for next year.
At this point the QB spot, the RBs, the O-Line all look solid. The DBs and LBs have some holes but not as many as people think. They will benefit from the D-Line being shored up.
