Giles, Jefferson & chase should be getting 75% of the snaps at WR.

Sullivan, Anderson & Marshall should be spelling them with Sullivan and Anderson being the big body red zone threats.

Maybe that changes Saturday but if the line can't hold up expect more of the same.


Why do u need a good line to get him the ball. Throw quick slants to him like Texas tech did

#7 should be earned, not given. I never did understand why he would get it over Brossett or others who have been here for years.
I'm glad he chose LSU and is a good kid.

Then little Southeastern must have NFL caliber CBs all over the field.

Should have gone to Greedy. At least he's done something. But like everything else, it was given to much hype trying to make a player a playmaker instead of giving a playmaker the number. Sorry but it's not motivation to someone transferring in. If Greedy or Devin White doesn't want it, then we don't need a 7 this year.

He cant seem to get open. Like many of our receivers. The only one that seems to create separation is jefferson.
I was expecting something from Giles and he has done nothing so far.


This. I agree that changing up the offense would help a lot, but the WRs should have been able to beat SELA DBs pretty easily, regardless. I expected this to be a strength on offense, but it was lacking on Saturday for sure.

Giles is the disappointment of the season so far. He's a slot receiver. He's supposed to BE the quick passing game, so IDK why he can't get passes thrown his way other than he can't get separation.

If we didn't see him shine against SE defense I doubt he shines against Aub.

I got a brilliant idea how about creating plays that can get receivers open like 99.9% of other college teams,

I haven't been impressed with Giles in punt return either. Hate to dump of the guy too much but the idea that he was some smooth route runner ju4st because he (and 4+ other guys) caught 50+ balls in TT's Air Raid offense doesn't make him an All-American WR.

I think the top 3 WR's should be Jefferson, Chase and Marshall and they should see 80-90% of the snaps and receive 80-90% of Sullivan's expert tutelage. Giles and Anderson are taking snaps away from those 3. Sullivan's niche should be jump balls. Dillon is taking snaps away from guys who can do something with them, even if only a couple per game.

Giles not catching balls is a symptom of a systemic disease.......do better or go away


Why can Chase, who was in HS this time last year, produce and Giles can't?

He played at Texas Tech. Any expectations were dumb.

You don't but do we have the coaching to implement plays like that? I sure hope we do or it's might get ugly.

Not to dump on the kid, he was the leading receiver in a pass happy (and that's understated) offense. 

True, but do you think he can torch OU, WV and Okie St., but can't beat an SLU defender for one catch with the right scheme?
