Rams rookie WR Donnie Avery is guaranteeing a touchdown dance in Week 4.He's onboard a sinking ship in St. Louis, but at least he has his priorities in line. The last time we saw a young receiver more concerned about dancing than the ineptitude of the entire franchise around him, Ocho Cinco emerged from a dismal decade of failure in Cincinnati.Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch

What the article did not say is that Avery guaranteed that it would be Marshawn Lynch doing the TD dance........ and Lee Evans...... and Buffalo Def.........

 
Don't you need to actually score a TD before you celebrate? Or is it fine if Avery runs out there and does his TD celebration after Marshawn Lynch punches one in?

I wish players would keep their mouths shut until they retire. Then start talking smack about how great you were if you still have the desire to be an ###.

Edited to add I'm too slow.

I don't think I'd talk smack like that after Whitner leveled Higgins in the endzone when Higgins slowed up and taunted the defense. The entire defense was pretty fired up about it.

Not that pros should need something like that to get up for a game, but I would imagine that Avery is going to find out just how hard some of those guys can hit this week.

 
Quote, Link, Anything?? This is just a blurb of someone, we dont even know who, saying that Avery said he was gonna do a TD dance. And we have post like "All I need to know to hate the guy" :rolleyes: . And if he did say it so what, what do you want him to say, "We're gonna suck real bad this week again, Trent Green is probably gonna die, the Bills are gonna walk all over us, and then our coach is gonna be fired"? The kid is just trying to be positive, lighten up

 
:rolleyes: Just what I need. Another knuckle head on the home team. I'd almost prefer if he were just a over paid, unmotivated and underperforming POS like most of the rest of the team rather than be a hot dog...
 
From everything I've read about the guy, he's a level-headed serious student of the game. When asked to name which NFL receivers he emulated, he responded "Isaac Bruce and Marvin Harrison." I applaud his confidence, which the Rams could use in bucketloads. Reminds me a bit of some of DBowe's gems at the beginning of last season.

I have an empty roster spot after a midweek trade and plan to take a flier on him.

 
Not saying that this is the case here, but players, especially the young ones, get baited into saying something like this by an interviewer, then it gets plastered everywhere out of context. FWIW.

Donnie Avery's plate is full these days. Wednesday night at home, he spent an extra 45 minutes in the playbook. Thursday afternoon at Rams Park, he stayed an extra 20-30 minutes on the field, catching passes from Brock Berlin.

And then there's that little matter of the touchdown dance. Got to have a touchdown dance.

"I'm going to do some kind of dance," said Avery, the rookie from the University of Houston. "There's going to be a 100-percent guarantee I'm going to dance."

Avery declined to provide a preview for the media Thursday, but noted: "You'll see it Sunday. I'm still memorizing what dance technique or routine I'm going to do."

I wish people would quit using the "baited" excuse for the brash loudmouths who feel they need to get their name in the paper before they do something. They need to turn off ESPN and start watching clips of Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, etc.And yes, I'm getting old and whiny.

Idiots like this guy never even make my draft board. The 4 I was looking at were Sweed, Simpson, Caldwell and Royal. I took Royal based on his work ethic in minicamps and training camp along with the fact that he was catching everything and had Cutler as the QB. At the same time this Avery idiot was getting a lecture from Torry Holt. I knew he was going to amount to nothing then.

I :thumbup: Seriously a lecture from Torry Holt, Or maybe he went to him to learn more. I'm glad your fantasy team is doing well and you picked the right guy. Good Job.

Guess you should read a little more. Avery's work ethic was not a question. Neither was his speed.
 
Bunch of self righteous tools in this thread hating on a kid for working hard and being confident in himself. Half of these guys making quotes like "All I need to know to hate him" will be putting in waiver bids for him this week.

Seriously? Making a "100% guarantee" about doing an endzone TD celebration dance in a game that has yet to be played is just "being confident"? He's talking smack, no matter how you slice it. Yes, he wound up scoring. Looks like the 11 guys on the field at the time backed it up. :tumbleweed:
