Kelvin Grady Catch - The Play of the Day on MGoBlue.com
The latest installment up on the Multimedia site of mgoblue.com is a video of the "Play of the Day." It would be nice to see this become a regular segment on top of the Countdown to Kickoff.
Today is Kelvin Grady, (that's right, the former basketball player) making a very nice 1-handed grab. The CB on the play was Vlad who got juked out of his shoes but recovered well to be there when Grady caught the ball. Hopefully Grady can become a viable option at WR. Any word on how he is performing in practice? I haven't heard much else about him lately.

good hands.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:43 PM ^
this is his second full day of practice with the team. I would take anything we hear with a grain of salt until he gets the pads on, which he hasn't done in two years. With that being said, that was a nice catch and there certainly is an opportunity for him at slot or kick/punt return to contribute.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad. I heard he is doing well, but he got burned there.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
Nice catch, it will be interesting to see how much he can get into the mix for slot receiver this year.

It's no Jason Avant plucking a ball out of mid-air, but it's a nice play for Day 2.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:50 PM ^
I thought Vlad was supposed to be the answer at safety? Really hate seeing him get juked like that.
August 11th, 2009 at 9:59 PM ^
day of practice.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:03 PM ^
Not to mention he's a true frosh and even the best players get beat sometimes.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:45 PM ^
Also, he's a safety, not a DB. I wouldn't worry about Vlad. He's going to be a good one.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:59 PM ^
A safety is a DB.
August 12th, 2009 at 2:48 AM ^
Sorry. CB. Our CBs should be better at man to man coverage than our safeties.
August 12th, 2009 at 11:32 AM ^
I seriously hope that our CBs are better at man coverage. If not, then we be screwed.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:58 PM ^
We didn't see the entire drill, perhaps it was supposed to be zone coverage and whoever was suppose to pick up Grady didn't

are two totally different position. There is a reason why S aren't asked to cover WR one on one during games.
With that being said, it was a nice move and catch by Kelvin Grady. His quickness will help him out on the field since he'll be one of the quicker player on the roster. Remember that he was two time(correct me if I'm wrong) all state as a RB for EGR.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:00 PM ^
Is he gonna quit when he doesn't get PT in football too? I am still a bit puzzled about quiting basketball over PT when you are seeing time and come back to a team that just lost two PGs.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:29 PM ^
I don't get it either he was gonna see a major increase in minutes. Than he quits to go play football... Kinda wierd
August 11th, 2009 at 11:55 PM ^
Maybe his heart wasn't in it anymore and he just wanted a change.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:12 PM ^
It downloads so slow - I get it in like 1 second increments separated between like 30 secs.
Does anyone else have that problem, or is it my internet connection?
August 11th, 2009 at 11:30 PM ^
Sheepman, I think either your computer or internet connection is b-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-d.
August 12th, 2009 at 8:45 AM ^
Well played Tater
August 11th, 2009 at 10:11 PM ^
Gezz -2 it wasn't that bad. It's a legit question.
August 11th, 2009 at 10:23 PM ^
It is a nice catch, but I doubt he plays. He should RS and then maybe he can contribute in a minor role next year
August 12th, 2009 at 12:11 AM ^
I was skeptical.....but he looks quick and moves out of his break like a good WR would.
As far as him leaving the BB team, understand that he is a little guy by BB standards and his athletic future most likely is more bright on the FB field.
