Yes.  He catches with his hands.  A body catcher would be someone that is always trying to catch with their body.  See Hightower.  

Pretty much everything you said is wrong.  Sorry.  Can't agree.

You never have anything of substance to add.  It's a shame you didn't follow through with the rest of your flock.  

The last thing I would call Quez is a hands catcher.  If anything, he's the most body catching player on the team.

 

I don't understand how Brent Celek gets left off things like this.

I'd put Tony Gonzalez over Gates.

Boy, Reuben Amaro is painful to listen to.  He can join Kate Scott on the road out.

What is your issue with Kate.  She is a whole lot better than most of the NBA announcers.

Catch 1: Body

Catch 2: Hands

Catch 3: Hands

Catch 4: Body, but attempts with the hands.

Catch 5: Body.

Catch 6: Hands

Catch 7: Hands

Catch 8: Body

Catch 9: Body

So 50/50 in that highlight video.  It's wrong to call him a body catcher though.  Hightower was a guy who was always only catching it if it him him right in his chest and that is how he was catching it.  Quez will try to make the catch with his hands when it isn't hitting his body.  Problem is that is he's inconsistent and when the lights get bright he is so unreliable in big moments that he became a huge liability and an upgrade needs to be made on him.  

 

Below sure wasn't a body catch.

I'd put Ditka over Gates as well.

I actually like the northwestern kid Adebawore. I get he’s a boom or bust but when i was researching guys he was one i liked. I can see why the eagles would too. I’ve been taking him in most of my mocks but he’s projected from around 35-50 range. However this draft i think from 15-50 we are gonna see some surprises. I wouldn’t be shocked if he finds his way into the first round.

i think they like Nolan smith. It’s a good problem to have if you have two reddick type of pass rushers. just have to be really creative in how you are using them to get them on the field together. I still think the first pick is gonna be a OL and 30 they either move up or a little back and get a pass rusher. 

Rather have the tackle from oklahoma

Just can't get in to the way she calls games at all. I don't know how to explain it, she just sounds like she's trying way too hard.  I loved listening to Zumoff and Abdelnaby.  I just like certain voices telling the stories of games.  There are certain broadcasters you grow up with who once they leave, no matter who they replace them with, you aren't going to like.

For me, SEC football was Vern Lundquist and now Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson.  Once ESPN takes over the SEC, it's going to suck having a different story teller for the SEC game of the week.  Nothing more comforting to me than a crisp Fall day, a great SEC matchup and hearing those guys.  

I loved Brent Musberger.  Guys that just know how to narrate the game.  I think Matt Barrie and Joey Galloway are a great team for ESPN and hearing them do XFL game has helped me become more engaged.

I've stopped listening to Eagles games because Merrill Reese is declining.  

Still not over Harry Kalas not being around but for the most part, the Phillies broadcast team has really fallen in to place.  Amaro just sounds like a guy trying to sound like Kruk but is way to nasal in his rendition.

She has a terrible shrill voice for broadcasting.  Especially when she yells.

Pretty easy to explain. Her voice is incredibly annoying. Especially when she yells, but even just talking. And her Kate-isms like BANG BANG GEORGE NIANG are also annoying. The way she says TOE-bias is also annoying. She just flat out completely sucks.

Facts. He's also lost without his little crew and their daily circle jerks.

"We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass, the same hips and haws on the autumn hedgerows, the same redbreasts that we used to call ‘God’s birds’ because they did no harm to the precious crops. What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”

Her voice is a woman’s voice.  Do you tell your wife her voice is incredibly annoying?  
 

you probably didn’t like Jerry Blavatsky or Hy Lit if you don’t like Kate-isms.

Wrong. And ridiculous.

Every person's voice is a woman's voice, or a man's voice. That doesnt mean some people dont have annoying voices. 

Her voice is annoying, and so is she.

Yeah Tony Gonzalez should be on there over gates. And i love gates. That said chargers and chiefs have had some extraordinary tight ends. 

also one of my best college stories is partying with gronk at a pool party.

If this was a random analyst’s Mount Rushmore, I’d be a little bothered by it. But Shannon Sharpe has earned his right to rank TE anyway he wants & I won’t question it

It's not sexist, it's just the nature of the profession.  They play an audio role.  They are the soundtrack to the game.  If I don't like it then I don't like it.
