    Does Sweed Juggle?

    I was at my dentist's yesterday, he told me he played some IM football at UTx as a wide receiver. He went through a slump of dropsies like Sweed, and then it got to be a mental thing so he couldn't even catch any ball.

    Anyway, to overcome this he taught himself to juggle. He said this activity forces you to look at the balls very closely. Soon thereafter he overcame the "mental" block against catching the ball.

    How much "free" time do NFL players have? Maybe Sweed should learn to juggle!

      I think that is one of the most constructive statements that I have seen and I think it is worth a try.

        Honestly, I taught myself to juggle, and it's all about the pattern of the balls and getting your hands in the correct position. (Just now thought about how that sentence could be taken in a few different ways.) Anyway, I'm all for Limas figuring things out, but 'm not sure if juggling is the way to go. But if it makes him catch the ball, go for it.

            Looks like he has Sunday night open, since he won't be in uniform.

              I think it would be lovely if he learned how to juggle, but far better if he learned how to CATCH.

                Did you hear the one about how the Steeler team doctor didn't give Sweed a flu shot, because he ... knew he couldn't catch anything!!

                Badummm!

                      Didn't Jim Craig, the goalie for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team, juggle balls to help his hand-eye coordination to help him stop pucks? I recall a scene in the movie "Miracle" where the guy playing his part was juggling balls while bouncing them off a wall.
                      Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                      Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                      We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                      We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                            wasn't there another fairly recent steeler player that juggled balls? i think the cops witnessed this at schenley.

                              very easy to learn to juggle, first get 3 scarves and learn the cycle method alternate each hand with one in the air, once you get that move to tennis balls and then your a pro.....this from a gym teacher, basically a doctor
