- Carries - Magee (close though, near 50/50 with LF) - Yards - Magee (again, very close)


I just don't see any way, barring injury, that Fournette DOESN'T get the bulk of the carries by the time SEC play rolls around.

He could get the Jeremy Hill treatment, where coaches try to save him for the tougher teams on the schedule. I think coaches will trust him more early on though then they did with Hill/Hilliard.

The reason why I have Harris is because it is wide open this spring for the starting QB spot. Jennings shouldnt be making the mistakes that he is making right now. He hasnt stood out at all during spring. And sure both have struggled so far, but everything I hear is that Harris is ahead of Jennings physically. Bigger arm, faster, quick release, etc.

For the RB spot, a lot of people are underrating Magee. He was more effective than Hill was in some games last year, and made some huge runs for us in crunch time. He will get the bulk of the carries early on, and will get just as many carries or more than LF down the stretch. Magee is a good RB. And like I said, regardless who gets more carries, it will be close to a 50/50 time share in terms of carries. Plus, Magee will be playing in passing situations.

And I really think DeSean Smith becomes a weapon for us, due to a few reasons. He arguably has the best hands on the team. He had the best hands in the country as a recruit. Hes going to be a special player.

We dont have the QB or 2 WRs that we did last year. The reason we didnt throw the ball to the TE last year was because Mett just didnt look their way. It was Jarvis or OBJ and thats it. And when you have a QB that can make those hard, NFL type throws like Mett, and WRs that run great routes and know how to get open, it works and is damn hard to stop. This season, we dont have that. We have inexperienced WRs with inexperienced QBs. Were not going to ask Jennings to throw that 20 yard out where its across the field. Left hash, WR runs an out to the right sideline. Thats the hardest throw in the game, and Mett was great at it. Were gonna give our QBs easier throws to make, middle of the field, crossing patterns, quick reads and get rid of the ball.

Look at Cams track record. Everywhere hes been, the TE has been a huge part of the offense for him. Antonio Gates at SD, Pitta / Dickson at Baltimore. He uses the TEs a lot. And now with Smith, we have an awesome receiving TE that is a mismatch for LBs and DBs.
