    Rome Odunze and Sawyer Racanelli won’t ever be FBs/TEs at this level or the next level. Please stop. The comp is embarrassing. Rome’s got a little Allen Robinson to his game. Sawyer needs to play on defense his ceiling is ridiculous on that side of the ball.

    Can’t wait to see them wither away on the bench like most of our talented players last year
    Sawyer RS fosho. Our WR room is mad talented. Not worried about that room. Season comes down to scheme and QB play.
    Man must be nice to be young and keep that doog spirit up, I don’t have the spirit after Costello chose to go to @SECDAWG ‘s team over UW
    We have the talent just comes down to scheme and play calling. We have the WRs to make our QBs look good. All Donovan needs to do is stretch zones with vertical + horizontal concepts and create 1 on 1s.
    Don't forget diagonal concepts. People forget about diagonal concepts.
    Huh? Vertical + horizontal stretching create conflict defenders that you can attack. It essentially creates spaces and shifts zone defenses. Against Michigan they mostly play press man so our WRs are going to have to win. Football is not hard.

    Ok.

    I'm going to have to agree with the kid on this one. Rome is a tall, fast deep threat. Why bulk him up to play a jumbo slot receiver? SR? Maybe. He's built differently than RO. Wider shoulders and a thicker frame. That said, Bryant was 239 as a true frosh. He had been at FSP for years and was almost a finished project at that point. He looked 40 as an 18 year old. Racanelli and Rome still look like kids. Add ten pounds of muscle and you get a couple matchup nightmares in your WR corps. Seems simple. With respect.
    Agree with what point? That Rome is a WR? No shit. All I said, and it was only to point out that it was possible not likely, is that he's big enough to do it. They wont have to bulk him up because he's going to get that big on his own without some effort to keep his weight down.

    Bryant's listed weights seemed to bounce from about 220 up to 230 or so until last year.

    Marcell Reece is a good example of a big WR with speed who would have thrived as an H Back or dual threat TE if he had been used that way in college. He's had a successful NFL career doing just that, in spit of not being used as one at UW. Rome is way more talented.

    Don't be pissy. It's cool. You're cool. Let's just talk. As per the Gohuskies roster.
    Hunter Bryant
    2017: 239
    2018: 224
    2019: 239

    I'm assuming he lost weight in 2018 in an effort to alleviate some pressure on the knees that had failed him. In 2019 he gained the weight back to more resemble the TE he wanted to be. Rome isn't Bryant or Marcell Reese. Different bodies. Sawyer could pack that weight on easier if you really wanted to make him an H-back but he sure as shit isn't the athlete that Reese was. He's a plus athlete but Reese was a freak of nature.

    Reese was such a freak he got moved to fullback in the NFL! Sawyer’s probably a better athlete tbh.

    Sawyer on defense would basically be a BBK with actual power at the point of contact.

    Or a great safety.

    Sawyer would be like Locker playing D. He should have been on D all along, would probably still be in the NFL as a safety.

    I could see Sawyer playing D. He probably lost some speed because of his injury and Bob can’t recruit.

    ACLs these days don’t lead to major speed loss, especially in a HS kid.
