LKEEL75 2,567 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 @ellitor you said in another thread that losing GP hurt most because of loss of Clayton and we had nobody to play X (please don't crucify if that was wring WR letter). Anyway my question is can Seth Williams not fill that role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he enjoys junior college and no one will remember him by this time next year. Pickens is the 2019 version of Rueben foster and tj yeldon .

AURex 2,262 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm confused. CGM figures that there is no current problem with the OL situation, but he's going to try to recruit a herd of OL beef next time around and end up with a whole bunch of inexperienced OL at one time? That's the plan? And has that been the plan for the past 3 years? Just wait until 2020? I gotta say, I'm not aware of any Power5 program that goes about it this way. Can someone explain to me why this would be a good idea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway my question is can Seth Williams not fill that role? Heres my 2 cents worth....I know Slayton was our deep threat and was a good blocker on the edge....but Seth Williams was the best WR IMHO last season. I think he has enough speed and good enough on 50/50 balls to be a deep threat....I think he is great across the middle....but I would have Swartz running deep....I just dont know how many DBS can keep up with him....We also have Hill, Jackson, McClain who may get more reps now and is a big bodied guy....and maybe Pettway? We will be ok.....we will be fine at the WR spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 2,262 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 In the Gus game plan, you only have 2 receivers who are actually targets on any play, because there are only 2 routes. (The others are blockers or distractions.) 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Well, we did better than last year with finishing 11th. I hope we can bring in some serious OL talent in the 2020 class. The 2020 class better have some OL grad transfers who can come in and play right away. If we did not have a killer defense, we will be in some deep dodo if we cannot take care of the OL needs starting with the 2020 class. We knocked the lights out on the defensive side of the ball with the 2019 class. I like our RBs and think we hit a serious home run with MAR & Williams. I like this class and will give it a B+ overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She came down 9 days ago with it and is now recovered. At least I am not running 102.5 fever anymore. Starting to feel a bit better with the Tamiflu doing what it is supposed to do. The first few days of it made me crazier than I normally am, but has kicked in and tonight is the best I have felt since I came down with it. It has been rough here in the mountains of NC with folks coming down with it left and right. I had the flu shot, but it doesn't always work. Tomorrow will be a better day I am sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing we had so much talent he didn’t see the field much at all! Had a great hit in the bowl game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
