There are...

Submitted by Denarded on

days until we see one of our safeties laying out receivers like Ernest Shazor, and our kickers putting them through the uprights like Brandon Kornblue used to.

 

Also there are...

depending on mattison/position coaches development skills, we could be close to seeing those hard-hitting days. Cam Gordon is def. the best candidate frm what we saw this year. I think kicking just comes from recruiting a guy who is pretty proven at a high level (big games, camps, etc.)

Does anyone think he should wear the #1  jersey next year? I do he just needs to work on the easy passes he dropped, I mostly believe he was thinking about the run after the catch.

It's a stretch to award the #1 jersey next year to any of our current receivers.  No one has been a true standout in the mold of the #1.  Sometimes the coaches held off on giving it out.

We should see some true playmakers at WR develop if this West Coast offense takes root in AA, because it's more of a pass-first mentality.  Keep an eye on all our slot guys; it'll be interesting to see how our receiver corps adapts to a more conventional offensive style.

Very nice. These are sweet. Also, they were a great way to start my morning during the summer. Now that I don't have to wake up too early for work, I stay up late enough to see them before I go to bed.

With the coaching change on top of the numerous dropped balls,I'd like to see the #1 stay hidden for another year. Even though I don't think Hoke would give it to an unworthy candidate, remember the fiasco with Rich Rod giving it away. Keep it on the shelf and see what happens next year in the adjusted offense.
