Jason Avant

[PhillyPhreak54]

This guy deserves some serious credit for becoming one of the better go-to guys on 3rd down. Minus the drop he had (that would have been negated by the Herremans holding penalty) he has some sticky fingers.

He makes big catch after big catch. He's not a burner, but a chain moving possession guy. I always compare him to an Antonio Freeman type guy who just gets first downs. McNabb always looks for him and he comes up with the tough catch. A helluva blocker too.

I love watching him play.

Big. White. Dude.

Every time you say that, I think white breaded bitches and have to go listen to Nonpoint.

antonio freeman avg more yds per catch than jerry rice...he was a big time big play wr for numerous years...he was not a posession guy

[reese125]

dude could be an All-pro if had any serious speed

I could care less...as long as he keeps finding soft spots in the zone and catches everything that comes his way...whatever

pair his ass up with some legit outside talent and the chains move all day

I was talking about his time as an Eagle, when he was the 3rd guy who moved the sticks.

All he does is make 1st downs.

He's Freddie Mitchell but none of the antics

what makes avant such an effective possesion receiver (other than good hands obviously) and far different from freddie is his strength....posession wr's dont get wide open much and usually have a defender or two all over them and they need to be really strong to make those tough catches while being bodied...freddie was a possesion wr with a speed wr's frame

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

freddie was a possesion wr with a speed wr's frame

and a crazy star receiver's attitude

I just want to thank my hands for being so great.

Coincidental that the reference is also from right after a playoff win against Minnesota.

And one hell of a farged up mohawk.

Avant is a lot like another former Big 10 WR Bobby Engram, only a little bigger.  He certainly seems to make catches when it counts.
