Do we have a home run threat in football?

On offense - a guy who can take it the distance anytime he touches the ball. Can Emery be that guy? Any of the WRs?

I believe Dillon is our fast WR but he has to improve his hands.

Several guys can take it all the way if there is timely blocking without those crazy penalties by Bama alumni review refs in the filth of Birmingham

Seriously though, maybe Lanard..is Giles fast on the top end?..

By the way, Giles has a big year next year, if he's on the team.

Marshal looks to be our most athletic x type receiver.. Chase is more dez Bryant type.. I think he's bigger then fast

Chase looks pretty fast. Not sure what the future holds for KIrklin. Tough to evaluate Marhshall with limited action. Dillon is fast but will he get enough touches?

Emery and Davis have a shot. Not sure about Curry. Poor guy got blown up every time he was in.

Stingley on returns and interceptions next year.

Emery is definitely a home run threat and Davis reminds me of Jeremy Hill (in terms of his build and potential).

I think both freshmen WRs this year have that potential (Marshall and Chase), and to a lesser degree Jefferson.

There are absolutely zero excuses for failing to field a top-3 SEC offensive next year.

It was disappointing this year seeing how many times we had a player get out beyond the secondary yet get run down from behind and stopped short of the end zone.

We definitely have talent but really just lacked overall breakaway speed this year. A couple guys who can really take the top off a defense will make all the difference next season, especially at RB. We got very spoiled after having lightning fast guys like LF7 and DG5 recently.

I really miss having those games where Leonard would just catch fire and run roughshod through, over, around and past the entire defense. He took over games and never let up. I'm hoping Emery turns out similarly.

Chase, Marshall, and Palmer will all be 5 star wrs on various recruiting sites. Emory will be a 5 star running back. Oline should be a year more experienced and also burrow. We should be pretty good.

Yeah he sucked in every way this year.

I just think this guy is gonna put in the work to be the guy in the slot.just to have a chance in the NFL if he has a good year.

Cuz you know that guy thought he was gonna be an NFL player after his big year at Texas tech.. Maybe he will wake up..

Maybe he just sucks though .and maybe he's the product of the system at Texas tech..

What tells me otherwise though, is the way he supposedly tore up our defense, on scout o, when he had to sit out a year.

They don't just say, here's number 7 ,it don't matter.. No, they saw him at practice and thought he would be the guy.

There's just no way that Giles is as bad as he looked this year.. He had to be lazy or something.. If he puts in the work, he may change the narrative on him

Yes, Tre Palmer! Reminds me so much of Oklahoma's WR, Marquise Brown.

Giles may not be a punt returner ,that's just obvious, but at the slot it's not like he was messing up.. He didn't drop a ton of balls, he just didn't really get open...

I think he was so bad at punt returning that it made him look worse then he was at receiver... It's just a stage that's gonna be seen by all, punt returning isnt his thing. Im saying he could have a good year in the slot if he puts in the work, that's all
