Offensive touches

[Walkerhill]

One of the recent articles on Fitz noted Moorhead and staff make a list of the top 5 offensive players they want to get touches. I assume they go forward and game plan off of that decision.

Who do you forecast makes that list? What 2-3 players are currently outside but could push into that group or step up in case of injury?

Outside of Fitz, is there very much separation between the top 5 and backups on the current offensive roster? At Fordham and Penn State, those top 5 got a heavy portion of touches. But, on our roster, it seems like at rb, wr, and te there is not a distinct top tier. Does that mean Moorhead will spread touches around more, at least early in the season, searching for the top 5?

Filtz
Atrain
Kylin
Austin w
Whop

Nipping at their hills
K Thompson
Guidry

[Pollodawg]

Fitz
Areis
Hill
Williams
Whop

Are we sure Guidry will even be here this Fall? Hasn’t he already said he was taking a break, or did he back off from that?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Fitz
Aeris
Kylin
Guidry
Mixon

Fitz
Aeris
Kylin
Guidry
Mixon

This is the correct list.

[Dolphus Raymond]

Really hoping to see K Hill emerge as the dominant back this year. Williams and Hill are a hell of a one-two punch.

[confucius say]

Fitz
Kylin
A Train
Guidry
Green (or some TE)

Mixon
Austin Williams

[BuckyIsAB****]

Fitz
Aeris
Kylin
Guidry
Williams


Throw in Whop, Thomas, Dear, Mixon, Green, Johnson, and all of a sudden our skill group doesnt look so bad. (it never really was)

[CadaverDawg]

Fitz
Aeris
Kylin
Guidry
Mixon

I'm thinking this one. A healthy Mixon is going to show out in this offense I think.

IYOK, if you had to bet on who has more catches, yards, and TD's this year between Guidry and Whop, would it be Guidry in a landslide, or close? Do you feel like the light switch is on and we can expect a big year from Guidry?

[CadaverDawg]

I like Williams and think he will have a really good career, but I see him as more of a possession guy year 1. Let's not forget we've seen guys have big spring games before, that didn't get nearly the opportunities come real games. I hope Williams, Guidry, and Whop are all studs year one though. I just wonder if Williams is getting a little bit too overhyped based on his spring game.

Fitz
Aeris
Kylin
Guidry
Mixon

This departs a little from the template Joo has used, no? A TE has been o. That top 5 other places. And he has always used a feature back a a tandem.

Would this mean more 2 back sets or potentially flexing one of those guys into a pass route as an h-back or into the wheel route in the past?

If a TE was to push into a top 5 touches laptop, which one would be most likely?

Take it for what its worth but he was by far better than Couch, Todd, Mitchell all spring long. Unless something drastic happens (like moorhead pulling a mullen and playing older kids) Williams will be a part of the offense come september

Moorhead will likely play Aeris and Kylin at the same time, and he will play Thompson and Fitzgerald at the same time. He might get really crazy and play all 4 haha.

Farrod Green would be the only TE to crack the top 5 but Justin Johnson is a former WR he aint bad

[DawgFromOxford]

Does Dear just not have the complete skill set to be a possible mention? I know he's been forgotten about because of his injuries, but he was electric with the ball in his hands pre-injury.

Fully expect him to be a part of the offense, but we're talking "top 5 in touches", and I just don't know if I see him as that yet. I just want my top 5 touch guys to be homerun threats, and I see him as more of a move the chains reliable WR...not necessarily a game breaker. I may be wrong though.

I think Guidry by a pretty solid amount.

[bulldawg28]

Fitz
Mixon

Hill
Guidry or Williams

Hasn’t lived up to the hype?? He is projected to be our #1 WR going into the season
What else did you want from him?

[Homedawg]

Jm says he looks like an nfl receiver.
