I miss the swagger we had

Just happened across a few highlights from the 2010 team and I couldn't help but notice how different that team felt. The team had an identity and a swagger. Our receiving corps wasn't just making plays. They were making people look dumb. This is a receiving corps that made a secondary comprised of Eric Reid, Patrick Peterson, and Morris Claiborne look like morons. All of the jukes, snatches over the top, hesitation moves and other general uber-athletic moves have completely vanished from our viewer experience since that iteration of the roster was drafted.

Even as fast as those receivers were, they couldn't outrun Mallett's arm. I saw a play where Cobi Hamilton was just on a go rout down the right sideline on a new drive from the 20. Hamilton had completely dusted his man and screeched down to about the other 30 and Mallett still overthrew him by about 15 yards. Our deep threat was immense. That team just had the raw ability to make something happen out of nothing with pure ability.

I can't help but get excited because this incoming bunch of receivers has that potential. This is our best crop of WRs in a class since that Petrino team. If we can get a QB that can drop one 75 yards downfield Chad will have a hayday with this offense. We've got the horses to run, we just need to get the arm that can get it to them.

EDIT: I also saw a lot of audibles coming from the QB. It stuck out because I definitely don't recall seeing much of that the past few seasons. Really showcased how raw we've been at that position lately.
