Everyone knows about Dak, but I don't know much about any of your WRs, TEs, or RBs.
I believe Dak is a great QB but do you think he can get any help from the guys around him? The RBs will probably have some success, but tell me a little about them. Will any of the WRs be able to give our DBs a tough time? Do you use your TE and is he good?
TIA

We only have 4 skill guys that you should worry about. Josh Robinson is a good RB. He rarely goes down on first contact and is always falling forward. The rest of our RBs will not hurt you.
Our TE, Malcolm Johnson is good. He's either feast or famine though. Some weeks he balls out and other weeks he disappears.
Jameon Lewis is a talented slot WR. He's quick. Mullen likes to get him in space. You'll see him on a lot of jet sweeps, and quick hitting stuff. He's the extremely poor man's Percy Harvin and that's how Mullen uses him.
De'Runnya Wilson is the only other guy y'all need to worry about. He's a big bodied WR around 6'5. He's solid. He'll go up and get it. He had that long TD catch against y'all last year.
That's it. The rest of our WRs should pose no threat to y'all.

WR - De'runnya Wilson #1 6'6" 210+ 4.5~4.6 40
- Jameon Lewis (You know him well, think last year)
RB - Josh Robinson #13 From Louisiana
TE - Malcolm Johnson #6 We use our TE a good bit so I'm sure you'll recognize him.
This group, even the ones I left off, is probably the most talented group of skill position players we have had since the 90's. So, yeah, I think they can help Dak out a lot.

Same list.
Although, if I were to put money on another guy having a good game, it would be Fred Ross. Guy is legit, just needs a good coming out party.

all u gotta know... Dak = much wow!

Requium nails it.
Those are the only four that should worry you.
Robinson is off to a good start - he['s averaging 96 yards per game and has three TDs this year, but Dak is averaging 91 yards rushing with two TDs - both have played about 1/2-3/4 of our first three games.
Jameon Lewis is our top WR, He's had a couple of 200+ yard games. He was a high school QB and we sometimes use him. He's 4/4 passing in his career with 4 TDs. QB rating is through the roof.
Malcolm Johnson is a solid TE. Sometimes he looks all-world and sometimes he looks average.
Wilson did have the long TD against LSU last year, and he is more of your stereotypical big receiver. I haven't been wowed by him this year, but its early.
But its the front 7 on defense you should worry about.

You'll see him on a lot of jet sweeps
I think we are significantly improved covering TEs this year with faster OLBs and better safeties, but we have yet to play a team that throws to the TE.

quote:I have absolutely no faith that we will have a ton of success on offense and it has nothing to do with who we are playing or how good their front seven is. Its all because we will come out in 2TE i-formation with 1WR and try to run it right down the middle.
But its the front 7 on defense you should worry about.
This game comes down to the turnover battle, and our offensive philosophy makes us rarely turn the ball over. Now we just need to get a few.
