I think it's pretty clear to everyone that Dural and Dupre are the main targets on this team due to their size and leaping ability. However, I think we'd all like to see the ball distributed more to the guys underneath. Jennings really locked into Dural, and while Harris seems to favor Dupre, he did a good job of targeting others as well.

Diarse had one catch on a quick throw, but it's the type of call I'd like to see us incorporate more. We have a lot of talent at WR, perhaps our best unit on offense, so we need to get these guys the ball in space. Diarse is kind of the forgotten man in the WR corps at the moment, but he's done well with limited opportunities. Dural is the best WR on the team, and Harris has a natural bond with the other two freshman WRs, so I hope Diarse isn't going to be lost in the shuffle.

Quinn will thrive in those 5-20 yard routes. I'm confident that he can get separation against anyone due to his speed and route running, and he's been routinely open this season. His targets will increase with Harris in the game as they have an equally strong rapport as Harris/Dupre, IMO.

How do y'all see Diarse and Quinn's roles developing going forward?

BTW, kudos to Adam Henry for coaching his dick off with our WRs recently. He turned Landry/OBJ into bosses, and he's done a great job with these inexperienced guys so far. All four of our WRs look like veterans.

NB4 TL;DR

I'd like to see some Diarse bubble screens. Do yall rememeber when Jimbo used to run the bubble screen for the first play of every fricking game? Reed was a master at it.

I think any 4 of those guys could lead team in catches in any game this season.

We only have so many snaps, and half are going to our RBs.

We need to take advantage of mismatches, whoever that may be at the time. I know Les despises that common sense approach, so I won't be holding my breath.

I think I'm more excited about our receiveing depth over the next 2-3 years then I've been in a long time. Last yeat we had two all-timers but not much after that. Finally I fell like we have four really capable playmakers. Diarse does seem to loaf alot. Quinn could one of our best slot guys ever.

Quality post Alex!

It is a great problem to have!

Dural has shown that he is a real threat on the go route, and can also break the route off on digs.

Dupre is a legitimate red zone threat. 6'3" and a 40" vertical jump cannot be taught.

Diarse is our thickest and strongest receiver and will be a weapon!

Quinn is probably the most versatile of them all and can play any receiver postion, attack all areas of the field, and we have not been able to see his full arsenal of skills yet. The pass from Harris that looked like a touchdown was the first time he was able to get a ball and turn upfield with it. I think Harris will be able to spread the ball around more and has simply been in the game more with Dupre the first few games.

I really like our group of receivers, and think they all compliment each other really well, and as somebody said, I can see different guys being the leader in receptions based on matchups and what the situation calls for at the time.

It is exciting to be an LSU fan!

I have a question, who is our fifth WR? If we have to go 80 yards in 2 minutes for the win and we do not put an RB or TE in, who would the fifth WR be?

Leslie, Peterson, Spears, a true freshman?

Make sure they can catch 110 mph frozen rope rockets from BH

I think Quinn will be productive in every game. Diarse is too good not to play. I think both will be great contributors.

With BH's mobility & ability to throw on the move, I think you'll see a other receivers getting more throws their way, ie, Quinn & Diarse. When his first read is covered, BH moves but keeps his eyes downfield, he's looking for someone to get open. I think Quinn becomes a safety outlet receiver for BH when he starts scrambling; his speed is going to give him some opportunities to "play himself" open.

Dural is the best WR on the team

By the end of the year, its gonna be Dupre. And Dupre is going to help open up things for Dural a lot. You cant double team Dural anymore with the emergence of Dupre, which will help open things up deep for Dural.

But Quinn and Diarse are inside / slot WRs IMO. And both will be playing a lot with Harris at the QB spot. I agree with your Quinn assessment, thats how I see him going forward. And Diarse role will be similar to Quinns IMO, but will be that WR that goes across the midde and does his work in the middle of the field.

It seems that we will be very talented on the offensive side of the ball for the next few years...too many weapons to lock onto to just one player...should be better than just having two "go to" guys like last year...
CCC needs to get TE's involved in the passing game also...find one of them that can hang onto a ball and throw it to them...LSU hasn't had a TE play very long in the NFL in a long time...

That is how I would start the auburn game, lots of play action with one guy going long, one intermediate and one short all cris crossing each other, all Harris has to do is watch the safeties for the long ball, and I think the intermediate and short crossing patterns will be open all night. Start with quick throws and bubble screens to Diarse and Quinn and run the ball. Keep the safeties back with the illusion of the long ball until they start biting of course. I really could call plays lol
