Currently one of our best players and a tough runner when he gets the ball.
Since it seems we lack talent at RB and will upgrade WR this year any chances D Joseph could play RB? Seems to have have the size and build. Not to say he couldn't play WR just thinking of other possibilities.

As a deep backup, perhaps. Gresham, Line, would be in for passing downs. Durrall and Nlemchi woud be the speed backs in my opinion. Joseph would have to beat out KC and Durrall.

You know he's a WR, right?

I thought he played terribly this year. Half the balls that came his way were dropped. Anytime he did get the ball he was tackled immediately.
I hate to be down on a player, but this guy needs to do a little work. Maybe he will read this, get angry like Bobby Bouche, and make some plays next year.

Should be inspired by Morris & Senior year, no way he plays RB. He'll be fighting for his job next year because of this new staff, and Proche should provide stiff competition. KC & Gresham should emerge as top 2, Line in more of a blocking/FB role, Durall fades now that Phillips & Broussard gone.
Coaches have already made it known that they will not spend much time watching old film, choosing instead to make their evaluations up close and personal based on what they see in workouts and practices of their own.

He is really a possession receiver, and that role doesn't exist in the new offense. Sanders and Stewart and others hav emore jitterbug, so they are better options in the screen game. He may end up in the mix as one of the blocking WRs because even though he is not really tall he does have the frame to be able to block.

The kid caught over 100 balls as a sophomore. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt last year considering we had zero stability at the QB position. I'm hopeful he can find a significant role in Morris' offense.

Hard to judge any receiver this year because the QBs couldn't get them the ball on time in the proper location. WR Coach shouldn't even bother to watch the film especially since offense is so different. Grade based on spring practice

I thought he played a snap or two as a true freshman and was out of eligibility? Anyway, my guess is that Morris will play the best players to help SMU win and that won't be based on last year or spring ball but coming out of two-a-days. It really is simple...

Totally funny how y'all year after you waited for Kc to save the day and line will be blocking back only. Read that for years when line part one was there -fields, Williams, wembly, pope,- would all take lead role. Now Kc and Gresham will be the [deleted] -Yeah, keep dreaming y'all.

June vs. Morris........Apples & Oranges
Line is a tough kid that blocks well and should still find a place in short yardage and FB formations. Not knocking him, I would even say most have grown to appreciate him, but 3.3 yards per carry and his skill set isn't a feature back in this scheme.
We'll find out in spring ball, all positions up for grabs, good luck to all. Exciting for fans & players alike.
