Historians will reference purple flock where the normalisation of the usage of [profanity deleted] happened in the USA. We did it cunts!

Here’s an Aussie song from the 90 on the matter.

4th and 10 with the Super Bowl on the line. Which one of our weapons do y’all trust the most to come down with a contested catch in coverage?

Hopefully Bateman. Tylan is also someone like that to keep a watch on. Hollywood is too small and not physical enough. Andrews is in my books not clutch enough right now to trust.

It depends on field position and if 3 points are enough to win it all because right now i trust Tucker and i'd take the FG.
If we have to throw, then probably Hollywood

Not at all. Loads of potential here though. A healthy Watkins can also be trusted provided he’s healthy. Plus all the young guns who hopefully develop well.

I just don’t trust Hollywood in a contested catch situation whatsoever. Against the Patriots he was given a chance in a similar situation and he blew it, getting out muscled for the ball and it resulted in an INT.

i mean not weird - but also we dont have a QB who throws much into contested windows unless we're in chase mode and he has literally no other option (in which case the choice has mostly been to throw it up to Andrews or Snead)

if we're talking 4th and 10 more generally, then i think it's Hollywood all the way
throw in that word contested and idk who it would be - from what ive seen of them in college, the 2 guys i'd trust to go up and get the ball in a contested situation (in any down and distance) are tylan wallace and (surprisingly) james proche but it's unlikely either of those 2 are on the field in the scenario you posed (maybe tylan is)

which means i probably have to say it's andrews right now

1) Andrews and clutch (as seen in playoffs) do not go together very well

2) The question specifically states contested. Brown is definitely not the guy to go to there. Watkins, Wallace, Bateman are all likely better options. Brown gets outmuscled way too often on those types of plays

im not arguing that - just being realistic on who might be on the field - as physical as watkins is through his route, i dont think of him as being someone who's gonna make contested catches (again, he's going from a team that doesn't throw a lot of contested stuff to another team that doesn't throw a lot of contested stuff), and wallace might not be on the field - if wallace is there and lamar trusts him then i think he's the guy

but in all likelihood that ball is going to andrews - we've already seen lamar throw it to him when he's double/triple covered

but in that sense im not sure there's anyone i trust right now

and im not saying that the hollywood's gonna make the contested grabs but if you told me that i had hollywood 1v1 vs a defender on 4th and 10 in a critical situation, im going with hollywood - it's not going to be a contested situation... the premise of the question assumes that we're throwing it into a pre-made contested situation (which i get) but dont think is that realistic with lamar at the helm

like that's why i think the best answer to the question as it is is andrews right now
but if you gave me 4th and 10 with an empty backfield and 11 or 01 personnel and the defence spread out, im going to either watkins or hollywood and betting one of them will have a 1v1 and that they'll win it

If it’s a regular 4th and 10 and it’s not a contested catch, it’s Hollywood all day because he’s shown he can make the clutch play. Agree
