J-Mike

Well, this is the first we've heard of this selfish nature. This seems like the kind of thing that a player should keep quiet. Also, I don't know what his problem is, he was just a RS-So. He saw what David Thomas did. Guy's have breakout games all the time. One good game does not make you a NFL player. They also lost that game.
 
1. We might not have lost the game if we had kept throwing the ball to Finley in the second half. 2. There is nothing wrong with an NFL-calibre athlete wanting the opportunity to display his skills so long as it doesn't hurt the team.

As I recall almost everyone on this board felt that we should have utilized him more last year.
 
I have to say that I think that JF is a potential great NFL tight end. I also believe Texas failed to use him in the second half of the OU game. I believe that we might have won that game by utilizing him more in the second half.
 
If I was a recruit I would care about what have you done lately...

Vince was Vince, he opened it up for the TEs. J-MIke didnt have this luxury, and new recruits wont either.
 
I wish we'd have used him more last year too but quite frankly attitudes like his kind of remind me of the talent we had in the program from 00-03 and some of the team chemistry problems they caused.

We need more guys worried about how they can help the team, not how they can improve their draft status.

I wish him well, but he better learn how to block or he's not going to make it as a TE in the NFL.
 
Wow. Did not expect him to say that, and I am sorry to hear him say that.

Let's just say, I hope he doesn't wind up on the long list of loudmouthed egomaniac NFL tight ends.
 
Mack mentioned in one of his press conferences during the season something about Jamaal and J-Mike demanding the ball more. In the weeks following he would make comments like "we had a better team first attitude this week from everybody" (I'm paraphrasing), so this comes as no shock to me.

Finley is right. I was frustrated as a fan so I can't imagine what he was feeling.
 
Pretty crappy comments, but not unusual for skill position players. Funny that he thinks he'll get more touches in the NFL than at UT. That may happen, but not in the next year.
 
He DIDN"T throw anyone under the bus. He said he needed the ball more, Texas couldn't do that, so he left. Seems perfectly logical to me.
 
The ou coaches for sure adjusted. He should have fought through harder then and get open. We did find other options but that option fumbled the ball at critical times. A young o line that had not yet developed and had issues and other things equated a loss.

This type of attitude could affect Mr. Selfish in the draft. I too hope he keeps his pie hole shut for his own good and that he does not turn into a Soulja type of loudmouth. He is off to a good start, however.

I agree with Tums that his children as well as ego is the real reason. Maybe for the first quarter of games we can hand off. Then the second we throw to the wr's to the left, the right in third. Then the TE's the fourth.
 
Those are disappointing comments. I wish we would have gotten him the ball more too, but it's not as if he was our only play-maker, and Colt seems to be fine with throwing to whomever is open, so he should have gotten open more. In any case, if he expects to get the ball thrown his way more in the pros, he's crazy. In any case, I wish him well.
 
Jordan Shipley is one of Colt's best friends and could still be his roomate. They are tight. Yet even he did not get the ball all the time. Nobody did. Yeesh J-Mike. Go away. Very disappointing.

Maybe he is afraid of a faster and bigger Blaine Irby who will light things on fire soon...possibly now.
