i think i'm emphasizing this point to show that (especially with all the drops), mettenberger prob had less quality WR's than some of the 90s teams. this should play into cam's hands since he likes to spread the ball around.


No Beckham and Landry are great wrs and it's moreso the play calling than anything else. Why are most of their routes runs to the sidelines? Why not get these guys to attack the middle of the field and use that athleticism?

Mett always over throwing by 5 yards didn't do any good also. People say Mett got better during the last handful of games we had but I think it was more of the WRs improving to make him look better.

What I'm hoping is that Dural practices good enough to jump Boone and play as Landry's back up. Beckham should be used in the slot and Leslie should get X position.

To tell you the truth, it's so many new pieces and improvements made on offense over the offseason that I believe we get bstter by default.

remains to be seen. i think particuarly beckham made you wonder if he was mentally ready to be an all-sec receiver. i could see them fixing the drops, but as late as the peach bowl you couldn't count on them.

even in mett's best game vs. bama, we could've built a lead in the 1st half, but big drops from the receivers stalled drives.

i'm all for the guys, but i'm not sure any of them will play in the nfl. beckham's speed is nice and landry's athletic, but neither of them have the size to be a #1 guy in the mold of randle, tolliver, lafell, etc. boone makes the big catch against a&m and then completely disappears.

So it's playcalling that caused rec drops? Come on
