In practice, not vs LaTech. No need to put anything on tape. Ole Miss secondary looked pretty bad last night


Of course they will work on it in practice.
They still need to do it in a game.

I’m not saying they should show any exotic route concepts. But they do need live game action pushing it downfield.

Not sure, but he needs more pt. I like him on quick passes. He is explosive.

he is quite a bit bigger than Waddle and may be faster. Waddle had wiggle, I have yet to see from Wright. Wright is a blazer. I doubt there is anyone in college football can out run him.

That absolutely will change after this game. Chris Hilton also never had that YAC of YAC juice that wright had on that curl he turned into a TD Stop it

Was just about to post something similar. I don’t recall Hilton ever taking a short pass and juking two defenders outta their cleats.

You don’t think Jackson Harris or Jayce Brown can beat somebody deep?

I actually think we have multiple guys that can be deep ball home run guys.

The bigger hurdle is SL getting his timing down and getting on the same page as his guys. He definitely missed a couple throws (the INT, a few fades) but I fully expect that to get fixed as the season goes along.

Wright has the best 40 time, I get that. But Wilson, Watkins, and Brown are all capable of big strikes if the ball is well thrown.

That catch on the sidelines showed me everthing I needed to tell me this kid is FAR FAAR beyond Hilton and is a true receiver, not a track guy playing receiver..

I agree on all those guys having the ability to go deep, but the difference with Wright is his size and strength to catch over a defender better than the guys you named
