I've been hearing rave reviews about Russell Gage and Derrick Dillon in this offense . A coaching friend of my mine who is allowed to observe practices and gets updates has said we only saw a glimpse of what Gage can do last year. Says he will be more effective this year , running lots of tunnel screens, slants and drag routes . Also the breakout player for this year will be Derrick Dillon. Built just like Gage but quicker and crafitier. He says Dillon is one of the fastest guys on the team and looks like he's in the fricking matrix when avoiding tacklers . He is willing to bet 10 grand Dillon will take a wideout sweep to the house at least 5 times this season. I quote, "He has not seen a more elusive guy playing football since Reggie Bush." I'm hyped for this shite, but I have to see the proof.

We shall see, GEAUX TIGERS!

This sounds a lot better then the people dubbing JD Moore as one of our offensive weapons

Guy here on Atl sports radio mentioned Dillon just last week and how canada would really open up a new world for him. Said Dillon has "ok speed". Idk what his clocked times are, Dillon's tape looks like he has incredible "football speed."

my bad. I had aranda on the brain after reading scrimmage notes.

Two guys that would've been wasted if Miles hadn't been fired. So glad we actually have a competent OC this season.

I'm excited about Dillon, and have been waiting to see him on the field, but come on... 5 big gains on sweeps? Maybe? 5 to the house? Highly doubtful.

I know everyone is really hyped up for Dillion and Gage, but imagine if we still had Trey Quinn and Tyron Johnson. Moving Stevens to offense is the first step in making our slot position Elite again. Dillon and Gage will both probably have good seasons this year so I'm not taking anything away from them. Just pointing out the talent we had and will have again soon.
