As much as they get bashed, our starting 3 WR's - Patton, Burton, and Dunbar - have made tremendous strides this year.

Maybe its the 2nd year of Pease's system.

Maybe its Joker's coaching.

But they've been a pleasant surprise in the first month of the season. Burton has made a few mistakes, but hes a solid 3rd down go to guy. Patton is a deep threat and very good in the screen game. Dunbar is just all around better this year.

Its been great to see. Also, I believe Robinson and Fulwood will start to play a more significant role as the season goes on.

Robinson had a nice grab on a 3rd and 10 on the opening drive to keep the drive alive. Fulwood has been on the field a lot more than Robinson, but hasn't been targeted as much.

Our WR group isn't there yet, but their on the right path

Patton has been a pleasant surprise, and I love the way we've been utilizing Burton. Dunbar is a solid all-around receiver.

I agree, big step up from last season. Good thread.

UF had a GA as a position coach for WR teaching a new offense.

Yeah, compared to last few years, this unit is doing very well. Sure it's not the greatest unit, but I do like how they are performing so far this year. Really excited about Fulwood and DR in the future as well.

Yes very happy with the receivers. Burton almost plays as our TE in the pass game in he is the safety net for the QB. Still wondering if we will ever run HB screen's. Maybe I've just not seen them but I swear we never use the HB screen for some reason.

UF had a RB screen set up on the Dunbar sideline catch. Murphy saw that no one was covering Dunbar.

I agree they have been solid. Dunbar has looked extremely fast running I'd like to see him with the ball in space.
