Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

More (or same) receptions than John Ross last year

I'm not saying John Ross won't be missed (don't twist)....as a deep threat his injury is a killer but he wasn't catching the ball much.

Discuss.

    Yeah but how many of those guys could start at corner?

    Pettis is a good player, but I don't see him having a huge year. Not with these QB's and OL and Mickens being the primary recipient of the bubble screens.

    Does anyone know if this year they will plan on having "blocking" for the bubble screen plays. I realize this is a complex play and has been a work in progress since the Willingham years but I have noticed that other teams like Oregon and Arizona have tended to use "blocking" on bubble screens to prevent the receiver from being tackled immediately after catching the ball. You see, the way this works is another player who will not be catching the ball goes out in front of the receiver and "blocks" the defending player from tackling him. Obviously our athletes are not up to par with some of these other teams but has anyone heard any rumblings about possibly utilizing "blocking" this year with our bubble screens?

    I thought that was Kasen's primary responsibility last year.

    I am really hopeful that we see success out of the TE position. Perkins is solid and can move around a little bit and do some H-back stuff. Daniels should be used almost like a Jimmy Graham type by lining up off the ball most of the time. Ajamu might be the most well rounded at 6-5 255 he has the sand in the pants to block and has some wiggle to slip out and be a safety valve. Sample is right there with Ajamu. Should see lots of 2 and even 3 (if you count Daniels lining up as a wideout) TE sets. If this develops it will really help the dreckfest at QB.

    Has anyone ever run a HUNH spread with 2 or 3 TEs always on the field? Gus Malzahn seems to always have a TE and H-back in every play.

    Of the players shown in the post, how many can make a defense respect them like Ross can? You think defenses stacked the box last year, holy fuck it will be tough with no legitimate deep threat established.
