    Zavion is skilled. He's better than tulu. And yes they can be. Finding them and enough of them would be very difficult. We have LOTS of spots to fill.

    I agree its a challenge to fill everywhere and maybe you do keep these guys if its cheaper than finding new ones, but the way our team looked this year its a full on rebuild regardless. I can't think of a single player that is a must keep. Glad we got a coach that seems to understand the new era

    Tulu is still the best kick returner in the country. He's been hot and cold at WR. The Zavion/Tulu duo won't be replaced.

    He has been lazy at WR. There is no way to put it. Now whether he was getting pissy or what because of the play calling, that doesnt mean you play lazy. On the kickoff part, as explosive as he is, you tell him anything under 5 yards deep, you take it to the house... So what if we start on the 20 or the 25...

    Remember this time last year we had no money. We did an incredible job filling the spots we had w the money we had. Incredible.

    Tulu had 658 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns this season. He also has a rushing touchdown. He was a bright spot on this dismal season.

    I won't place judgment on anyone playing or coaching in Barbay's offense. Play hard regardless, sure, but this offense will keep them engaged more.

    I have not been able to understand how we couldn't use Tulu more, but that ole' job he did to get Seth Davis injured was certainly eye opening. I haven't watched him carefully so I don't know how out of character that was, but man, that looked bad and if lack of focus/effort on blocking is common, that's hard to make up for.

    Pretty pumped to see how Creed can develop. There were a few times he was wide ass open in the Egg Bowl for any easy TD and Will just flat out did not see him (sigh)...

    I hate to be the one to break it to you, but almost all of our WR's and TE's failed to get their blocks down about 1/2 the time this year. Really, a lot of the offense did. Guys visibly didn't know what their job was on a given play a lot of the time. Which is what happens when you have them learn hundreds of plays in one discombobulated offseason, despite only running 15-20 in a given week.

    I'll be surprised if he ends up anywhere other than State and I've said from day one it won't be OM.

    At what point in the game did the Seth Davis injury happen? I?d like to go back and analyze the play. Or does any one have a clip of the play or a time stamp from a link?
