aaron pierce

Correct! - TE - Giants - Aaron Pierce

+10 pts for Strahanfan92, figures it'd be a Giant fan that gets the answer!

-Aaron Pierce had his best year in catches (20), yards (214), and touchdowns (4) this season.
-His first two years in the league he didn't have a touchdown so his first game against the Redskins in 1994 he picked it up. Dave Meggett ended up throwing him the ball on an HB-Option play leading to his first touchdown in their 31-23 win.

I think Koonce wanted a goldfish farm, not a catfish farm. So it can't be him.

[young2rice]

Next Player
==================================
Player - #42
Year: 2008 Season Completed
Pos: WR
Facts:
-Did not play every game this year (was injured)
-83% of his touchdowns came after Week 8.
-He had the same touchdowns this season as all his previous seasons combined

 

[Senser81]

This has me stumped.

 

[strahanfan92]

Me too, I checked every wideout that had 6 or 12 catches and found no answer. Because the only way you can catch 83% of TDs would be 5/6 or 10/12. Stumped.

 

[young2rice]

^^^ to clarify that doesn't mean 83% of all of his catches were touchdowns, just that 83% of the touchdowns that he caught, were made after week 8.

Sorry my source was wrong about the Week # btw

 

[Senser81]

Same here. I think we need a hint or a new question. I was looking at 2008 WRs...is that right?

 

[strahanfan92]

^^^ to clarify that doesn't mean 83% of all of his catches were touchdowns, just that 83% of the touchdowns that he caught, were made after week 10.

I understand. That would mean that he must have caught 6 TD passes. 5 of those 6 TD passes (83%), must have been after week 10. So I checked all the wideouts who caught 6 TDs and found none of them to have caught 5 of their TD receptions after week 10.

 

[young2rice]

Yep that's correct

EDIT: Strahan see, previous post edit (Week 8 not 10, my source said 10 which oddly was wrong after checking)

Sorry i'm shakin' off the rust of the wait so the first one out the gate wasn't the greatest haha
