The catches had nothing to do with the tackling rules. Please list all the WRs who are "terrible."2nd half was touch football. We have guys who were 7 on 7 heroes but who are terrible in pads and contact.

I've never owned any and that won't change.After the SG, are we buying or selling Ivey stock? lol
Different offenseHere's where the WR group gives me concern.
Rambo hauled in a lot of 50-50 and 60-40 balls last year, many for big chunk plays. Who will haul in those passes this year? Key hasn't demonstrated enough consistency yet; we all hope George is that guy but he had all of 7 catches that year. He is going to make a leap but there's no history to suggest he's that guy.
I liked what I saw out of Brinson in limited time last year. It's a shame he's been out because he seems like a guy with nice potential.
DT is usually a grown-up position. I hope they have enough time to develop at their own pace.Thanks D$ for your analysis. Do you see Moten filling in some of the DT playing time and does Cooper get switched to DT? Not that we should count on true Frosh but they do add toward depth if we strike out in the Portal for a DT.
People are missing the mark on the WR discussion because they’re making it about a particular player or another.Also, Rambo was neither particularly fast nor big and he still killed it. He also dropped his share of passes too, just that he caught so many, you could forgive the handful of drops.
Agreed… all Alabama does is sign 5 star WR’s and they still needed and brought in Jameson Williams In the portal to make their offenseclick and he was the star of their offense. I just dont think their anybody else out there that’s gonna jump in The portal and be better then what we have. Did we give up on Ladson already? I thought he was suppose to be the deep threat guy to catch the 50/50balls? If he’s not gonna be that guy then it was a mistake portal signing is what it is… out of Ladson, Keyshawn, , George,Romello, and Brashard somebody has to step up and be that starPeople are missing the mark on the WR discussion because they’re making it about a particular player or another.
This issue is the system not the players, last year’s offense had just as much to do with Rambo’s production as Rambo himself. The scheme made it possible for him to break records, it wasn’t because he was an elite WR prospect but that he was the right fit in a scheme that is predicated on high volume targets to the Boundary.
That’s why as D$ said in the OP, they’re actively looking for speed in the Portal.
Fans think that if you don’t think every player is an all-American that means you don’t like the player or are low on them, but it has nothing to do with George, Brinson & company & everything to do with the system they’re going to play in which isn’t conducive to unproven commodities that will have to earn their keep much harder.
Adding another WR is insurance, if we go into the season & the WR’s struggle, everyone will lament about how they wished we would’ve had another Portal vet that could pickup the slack. People don’t even realize they’re arguing against their own perception of Gattis as an OC by potentially limiting his ability to expand the offense to the best of his capabilities.
People are basically saying (without knowing it), “Gattis is great OC, I don’t want to give him anymore weapons because the offense needs to be limited in order for us to win games..” Like what?!? Lmaooo
The fans didn’t tell the staff we need more speed, the staff evaluated the WR’s this entire Spring & at the end of Spring camp have decided they need to add another Speed threat, because they see the same potential issues we see
I wouldn’t be surprised if George ends up better than Rambo. He is a stud. But the staff isn’t taking chances. Guys like TVD are rare and you need to get the most out of them.
I don’t think that’s what some of us are saying RE: George and Brinson and Gattis at all. Though I’m not certain who you’re referring to re: those of us who’ve mentioned them specifically.People are missing the mark on the WR discussion because they’re making it about a particular player or another.

Honesty if Likens was still here I’d have confidence that by season’s start we’d have a true #1.What is going on with WR development/evals at UM, it seems no matter where the portal WR comes from they’re snatching a starting spot
Rumors are like tumors, they grow until they kill you.Yes, there are rumors.
The problem isn’t numbers. The problem is we don’t have size. Jhh, lich, moultrie are all under 300 and all 3 will likely be in the 2 deep with LTThanks D$ for your analysis.

Hahahahahaha, you’re ******* steamed right nowEveryone not named restrepo.
If you can’t catch the ball you’re useless, I don’t care how tall and fast you are. Restrepo is the only one who is even a little bit consistent.
