Listening to Austin talk about Rufus yesterday got me kinda woolly. Rufus got high praise from him.

Walley wasn?t involved in any of that. The first two were Marks, the third was Tulu.

He's not Stonehands or anything but the guys are graded every day at practice and let's just say he's not getting an A

Walley has had his best camp of his career. He or Ducking will be the best receiver on our roster this year.

So you are saying he is only dropping 3 out 10 as opposed to 5 out of 10? That WOULD be an improvement.

He has been extremely consistent in camp. Anyone taking that depth chart seriously is mistaken. Crumedy won't even dress for months. Last year that depth chart had a walk on starting at tailback for then entire year on it. It's not correct and Walley hasn't had a bad camp at all. The exact opposite, actually. You don't have to take my word for it either. Literally every single media member that attended every day of training camp is saying the exact same thing about Walley. Practices were open to the media. It isn't some big secret that he routinely stood out.

Yeah, ourlads.com isn't official by any means. We should see the official one soon, probably tomorrow. Ourlads should be treated as a best guess, at best.

I want to see them in a game to see if any of them will be good. Some guys suck in practice but looks like all americans in games. Some guys look like all americans in practice but suck in games. Some guy look good in both.

No but someone did say he isn't being graded well at practice. This has been his best/most consistent camp, per virtually every media member that has attended camp. They have no reason to single him out specifically on daily practice reports but they do.

Wasn't he a last minute take in recruiting / wasn't he way under-rated?

Yes. Committed to Arkansas State or someone. Size probably hurt him at the time.

Rufus ain't exactly a cheetah...but he makes up for it with good route running.

consistency in practice is what Leach demands first. when you are only running 5-7 routes you had better catch the damn ball 80% of the time

Austin returning punts again? He's solid as a pass receiver, but looks lost fielding punts. Hopefully ourlads is just reposting that from last year.

Trust our coaches, but it's hard to believe that with all the RB, WR, and CB's we have on the roster that we have no one who can both catch the punt but is more elusive and faster than Williams on the return. Our Special Teams were not very special on punt returns last year. Tulu is electric on KO returns. Can he or others not cleanly field a punt and get some return yards?

Is Pegues out of eligibility?
What I wouldn't give for an explosive PR.
Is there any reason that Tulu can't return punts.
