Well, we have the number 1 Juco player in the country committed at WR, and Malik Heath, with at better than good shot at Keytaon's teammate Whop. So..... There is potential.Quote:

2 freshmen and an overhyped juco guy isn’t going to fix our problems there. Guidry will help some but he’s no stud WR.Quote:

Agree. Now just think of Todd having Guidry on the other side with Mixon, Dear, and Thomas in the slot. Guidry and Todd may just be “pretty good” but the combination has a chance to be better than that.Quote:

No, seriously. It does. Next year we're going to drag dick.
Don't be fooled by stats with WR's. Much of their production is related to their QB or lack thereof in some cases. On top of that in lower level leagues those guys are going to be the main focus of the defense as the "don't let this guy beat you" guy.Quote:

The biggest thing is we need some guys that can go deep and catch the ball. That could be Todd or someone else. If you look at the offensive stats for MSU, the only area where we struggle is on explosive plays. Adding that deep threat will help us correct that because Nick can get it there- we just need someone that can catch it. Adding that will help the running game open up which will make us more explosive. We also need to get our receivers to bulk up and work on their blocking so that we can add the screen game to our playbook.
I LOVE that. That's what we've been missing. Todd just needs experience. The fact that he was rated a 4 star by 247 sports despite playing something like one season of high school ball says a lot about his skill set.Quote:

Why does everyone keep forgetting Dear?
Our slot guys, Dear, Mixon, and Thomas are gonna be hard to cover next year. That should get us some one on ones on the outside to Todd, Guidry, Couch, etcQuote:

2018
SEC WEST:
Arkie: no talent & (literally) no coach.
AUbie: lots of talent, but may have no coach.
7SU: lots of talent, but are disfunctional & have no legit coach.
A&M: good talent, but no coach or defense & they suck.
OM: literally no coach or talent, suck bad & gonna get much worse.
SEC East:
UF: decent talent, literally no coach & they suck.
UT: decent talent, literally no coach & they suck.
KY, VDY, SC, MO: all suck.
That leaves UGA, Bammer, & MSU.
JS
Exactly and with their emergence I hope Dan uses Dear in the slot and also essentially as a running back motioning from the slot. Mixon can be used the same way as well and can be the hybrid scatback/slot guy.Quote:
