We have these underclassmen receivers and tight ends on the roster:

WR Jazz Ferguson, 6-5 215, So.
WR Stephen Sullivan, 6-6 228, Fr.
WR Dee Anderson, 6-5 204, Fr.
TE Jacory Washington, 6-6 228, So.
TE Jamal Pettigrew, 6-6 218, Fr.

If we go 4 or 5 wide with these guys, how they hell can anybody cover all of them?

The WR talent is insane with this team. Just hope we utilize it this year

We are loaded at WR and will be for a while.

You can tell Jazz has put the work in. He looked much improved and was playing ahead of Tyron Johnson during spring. Really liked what I saw out of him.

And Anderson looks like the real deal out there. Big, rangy, smooth, and can run. Kids gonna be a player.

That's who I was thinking of. Dee Anderson.


Really liked the Craig hire so for.

I expect to see a lot of pistol, but we wont just abandon I formation. However, three wide and a receiving TE will be more utilized in the passing game imo...

Pretty easily, I'd say. We'd have five of our top six receivers, and our top two tight ends, on the bench.

It's a good thing you are patiently waiting.

Let us know when you see this "Dumbo Spread".

The play has to be called from the sideline first.

Don't hold your breath.

Just have them all run verticals and pick on the guy that is covering Colston....Wait, they're all Colston's.

Jump ball in the end zone at the end of a half might produce exciting results over the next few years.... We have some guys who should be able to go up and get it!

This is fine on obvious passing downs but two tights and three WR means LF/Guice will not be in the game...

Which I don't like one bit.


Also, (if all of them are running routes) you're assuming that the OL will be able to pick up a blitz without TE/RB help.

This isn't exactly a safe assumption after what I saw last season.

What has happened to Johnson? Was expecting him to shoot up the depth chart and challenge for #1 reps by now.

It takes some kids a few years to learn the game of football.

I've been talking with my friends about this package it's nasty in the redzone.

Redzone or in a possible 3rd down situation, where Harris might just have to throw it in a certain area because of a blitz or pocket collapse

I like it. 1st down or 2nd down, empty backfield five 6'4 210lb+ players running all over the place.

Look at the players he listed, 3 of them are freshman. I'm assuming he meant 2017 when we should bring back 4/5 starters on the OL.
