There were at least 3 or 4 times this year where I was shocked to see Mickens make a play downfield. I remember this because I went off all offseason about how terrible his hands were and how he can't catch anything longer than a screen pass, so everytime he made the plays downfield I felt stupid.He_Needs_More_Time said:
Not even trolling but besides Cal I can't think of a game where he actually made a reception that resembled a WR. I'm guessing almost 90% of his stats if not more were bubble screens.RoadDawg55 said:Mickens had a bad game. Check the stats, he had a good season. I could rattle off multiple games in which he played very well. He's not a star, but get some fucking perspective. He can play.
Again not complaining about that as he is fast but he's not a real WR either.
He's no star, but he's much more of a receiver than JaWarren Hooker, IMO. For one thing, he's a heck of a lot tougher than Hooker. Mickens is reasonably strong for his size. He's not a track guy playing football.
He's also not world class fast like Hooker. That kid could flat out fly.

I think Mickens has a lot of potential, actually. He had a shitty bowl game, but so did Price and a lot of other players. Mickens is only going to be as good as the coaching and plays he gets called his way. Sark fell in love with the bubble screen and it so happened Mickens made it work. That just tells me he can do other things, too. But only with a coach who knows what the fuck he's doing.

Ja'Warren Hooker hated football. Mickens doesn't.

Mickens has had only two good games in his career:
2013 BSU - 9 catches 109 yards
2013 Cal - 6 catches 180 yards (2 TDs)
Otherwise he was rather forgettable(maybe not as much as Hall or Polk)
medians (2013):
5 rec/game
39 yards/game
7.8 yards/catch
excluding his two good games (2013):
AVG: 4.5 rec/game | Median: 5 rec/game
AVG: 36.3 yards/game | Median: 39 yards/game
AVG: 8.36 yards/catch | Median: 7.2 yards/catch
Mickens is better than Hall/Polk, Sark was better than Tyrone, blah blah blah
Maybe he can be more than better than Hall or Polk next year with a real head coach...

At the beginning of the year I think most people on here would have taken 65-688-5 from our 4th receiving option.
He is what he is, a small shifty slot receiver that can be very effective in the short passing game and showed some improvement down the field.
If there is a receiver who DESERVES the critical eye it is our 5* Parade POY. -
He had two very good games. Kevin Smith only had 1 100 yard game. Kasen had none. If Mickens was forgettable, so was everyone else. He was our 2nd leading receiver. I think we have pretty good WR's and it depended on the week/match up who got the catches and yards. He's not a star, but he doesn't suck. Until the last two games, he was only a few yards behind Kevin Smith, our leading WR. His role was to catch bubble screens and get yards. For the most part, he did a solid job.Houhusky said:Mickens has had only two good games in his career:

If Mickens catches the TD pass from Miles and the bomb from Price, you guys would be sucking his dick, pumped about what he could do next year. He didn't, and he should get the blame for that, but he's a quality (not a star) player who is a useful piece to the offense.

I never want to see another bubble screen in my life. I hope that shut went down to socal with dude brah to die. I believe I watched us throw back to back bubble screens on Friday for - 5 yards. God I hate that piece of shit

Bubble screens can work well if you have fast guys that can make a guy miss. Why the fuck would you ever run a screen to a slow ass tight end?phineas said:I never want to see another bubble screen in my life. I hope that shut went down to socal with dude brah to die.
