Emanuel Sanders

Sanders is not getting the ball enough. He is so explosive that they need to get him even more involved. Players like him don't come around enough.

he wasn't open on a lot of plays. They made it clear that their objective was to shut him down.

they are trying to take Sanders out of the game, We need the other receivers to consistently make some big plays.

The biggest problem as the announcer quit calling him Emilio. We had him hidden until then. When he started calling him Emanuel, the double coverage came.

Wilkerson is open 24/7. He couldn't be further away from Navy defensive backs if he was on the pom squad.

Wilkerson seems to get lazy and quit running his routes. He needs to step it up bigtime.

Is it just me or are receivers shaking their heads out there on the field at times? The body language says to me they don't believe in Bo. Not condoning the head shaking because they shouldn't do it, but ES must be wondering 'what could have been' in this his senior season.

no doubt. Then they come to the sidelines and at times voice whatever to JJ, and it looks like JJ doesn't want to hear it. Of course, it is a prerequisite to say 'man I was open!' after every play if you are a WR.

I've witnessed receivers doing this, and commented about AR specifically after the TCU game. It is understandable that they would be frustrated at working their tail off to get open, only to watch BLM not even look at them and try to force it elsewhere.

The receivers probably have the same thoughts about BLM as we do.

Navy's defense was very disiplined and stayed on their assignements most of the game very well and paud special attention to Saunders for certain, but it seems apparant that JJ has dumbed down the offense for BLM. BLM checks off/head fakes one reciever most every time to freeze the defense and then goes to who he has been assigned to throw to. It's not that he doesn't have the time to look around for other recievers as the O line is doing a great job of protection and gets better every week.

Evidently, Bennets staff did a better job coaching receivers than the present staff. The guys have the talent but something is missing. ES is bigtime but in this offense you should have 4-8 receivers playing important roles. If one guy is not producing, get the next guy in and so on and so on. Don't play favorites because it is a guy you personally recruited or because he is fast or because he is short or because he laughs at your jokes in meetings or he fits your stereotypes. Play the guys who play hard, practice hard, don't make stupid mistakes, catch the ball and are TEAM FIRST. In other words, do you want Terrell Owens or Wes Welker. I want the winner!
