(S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals

[Vikain]

Catching balls is hard. For a Wide Receiver it shouldn't be. But for Rodka Raskolnikov it is. “My hands are of a dead wombat that had his hands crushed by a concrete truck then the concrete poured on its hands.”. Despite the harsh words from himself, the rookie has been a serviceable pick for the Minnesota Grey Ducks. Especially for a team that doesn't really need to rely on him, with weapons all around. Playing 4 games this season so far, Raskolnikov has been able to rack up 183 yards on 13 receptions and put up 3 TDs. This really came in the last 3 games, as he was invisible in the first game only seeing 2 targets and no catches. “He was still learning the system and we wanted to give him some time to dip his toes before becoming a dominant part of our wealthy receiver core, '' coach of the Grey Ducks said in the press conference. It is clear that the Grey Ducks have big plans with Raskolnikov, and he has been putting more time in practise. Even though he says he needs to be better with his hands, technically he has only registered 2 drops on 23 targets. The other “drops” that Raskolnikov states are ones that the statistical crew believe were to be uncatchable.
