Job One After Todays Beatdown

Post by gostangs »

Contact every single recruit as much as is legal from now until signing day, and let them know they are going to turn this thing around. There shouldn't be much doubt that they will very likely get a ton of playing time to see what they can do.

True.....although outside of RB and 1 WR spot, are there any other positions? Not taking into account if there is a position that Morris has signed a player at.

I'd make the So, Jr and Sr players contact their own replacements and welcome them to campus for 2016.

if i was xavier jones id feel pretty good about my spot. But for sure there is not a single D player that should feel good - in fact i would guess we have 5-6 freshman on D next year.

Does anybody have any thoughts on Davis playing receiver? Seems like with his elusiveNess and speed that he could be an absolutely deadly weapon to throw to.

But that being said, if Davis is the qb next year I think the offense will be improved enough to mask his deficiencies more.

There's nothing the rest of the offense can do to mask his inaccuracy, poor pocket presence and poor field vision. Well not unless we switch to the triple option.

Is Colbert better? Is Hicks elusive enough to thrive behind the 2016 o line? Can David Moore master the offense in Fall camp?

Probably Not -> Davis starts in 2016.

Intense contact every day in spring and fall as permitted cause folks, we got some fraidy cat that want nothing to do with hitting. Other than D line, guys that turn their backs on contact.

I would imagine every position is open to competition including qb. Sutton is the only player who should feel safe playing somewhere on the field. Look for massive adjustments.

You think those two fumbles locked it up for next year?
