Fuller/McGrew

Tequilla was upset that I think Fuller is a solid player who could either be an impact #2 WR or a role playing 4/5. It's hard to take a firm stance because there is a very real chance the three incoming WR's will be better.
It got me thinking about McGrew. I feel the same about McGrew. I loved McGrew's film. He's a weapon.
That said, Chico isn't going anywhere and we are pretty stacked at RB. It's going to be hard for him to have a huge role.
Ahmed is likely better too and I think he initially is starting in the similar Chico role although a move to RB would not be a surprise. It probably eventually will happen.
It's a good thing. Good players are going to have a tough time getting carries and targets.
Ross is a big loss, but we should be markedly better on offense next year.
The only ptsd doogish negative in my head is we get too complicated trying to appease all the weapons.

When Gaskin and Coleman leave after this year (assuming Gaskin does) McGrew and Ahmed will be our running backs with Ahmed being the primary RB.
-
DTOTD: Coleman coming back will be chinpactful way beyond this bored's expectations and will be a man among boys in the conference.
Quooks won't want Freeman anymore. Not one of Willie's guys. Need to get the bad apples out of the program, etc. -
Right now yes, but we both know there is a very likely chance we get another big time RB this year. It's exciting to know good players still won't see the field.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:When Gaskin and Coleman leave after this year (assuming Gaskin does) McGrew and Ahmed will be our running backs with Ahmed being the primary RB.
Not saying that is the case with McGrew, but it will start happening. It will happen in the secondary too with all the guys we have brought in the past two years.
Quite the contrast to what we became used to under Gilby/Ty/Sark.
Edit: I preemptively apologize for playing hupotheticals and wondering beyond next year. -
Passing game should be fine in that regard. Browning's stats will probably be about the same, maybe slightly better. Ross was a huge volume of the offense last year, without him there will be more production from other weapons. Pettis' stats were 53-822-15, that should bump up to something more like 80-1300-17 without a true #2 WR ready on the roster (presumably, unless one of the freshmen blows up). The rest of the receiving production should get spread around well enough.RoadDawg55 said:

I kind of agree at RB though. The Gaskin/Coleman 1-2 punch should stay the same and account for like 90% of the meaningful RB snaps, so unless McGrew/Ahmed emerge as a game-changing receiver out of the backfield, those guys along with Dotson will have to be content with getting their mouths fed in the 2nd halves of blowout games. I lean towards thinking Ahmed redshirts because of this, unless he's even better than we thought and already as good as Gaskin/Coleman. -
I love Pettis but no fucking way will be put up those numbers. That would be a monster season.NEsnake12 said:

I think he puts up about the same stat line. I'm actually excited for the passing game because we should spread it around more.
We became a little too dependent on Ross and Pettis, which made us easier to defend. It didn't show against the weak Pac 12 defenses. -
Don't think Gaskin leaves early... similar RB's in size/skillset don't typically fare well in the NFL, regardless of college success.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:When Gaskin and Coleman leave after this year (assuming Gaskin does) McGrew and Ahmed will be our running backs with Ahmed being the primary RB.

Only thing is it's not a great year for running backs on the west coast. Tre'shaun Harrison is a guy I would love at running back, but he will very likely redshirt if/when we get him. And he could also play several other positions.RoadDawg55 said:

So I think we are looking at salvon and mcgrew being our RB duo for a few years and I love them both.
One thing is for sure we have a shit ton of options at running back this year and going forward. -
Also curious what Kamari Pleasant will do. People lauded him as a guy that was hugely under-recruited.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:When Gaskin and Coleman leave after this year (assuming Gaskin does) McGrew and Ahmed will be our running backs with Ahmed being the primary RB.
