    Decent chit. I think TE & WR will be better on whole.

    Agree with Splitskin on WR/TE. I think Pettis is going to have a great year and someone like a Lenius, for example, might surprise. Wasn't Salvon making some waves this in fall camp this year in the Chico position? Ultimately, I think it's a matter that we have a enough talent competing for playing time that the WR core won't disappoint. Ross was Yuge for us last year, but he was just 1 guy. I'm Doogish on the offense.
    Lenius is a massive pussy and has been passed by dumpster fire tier WRs like Baccellia and Pounds... Is he even on the team anymore?

    Little Chico and Salvon fill the same gadget role but any impact they have is pretty limited by the nature of their useage. A fly sweep or WR screen isnt going to make this offense any better or replace Ross
    I thought the scuttlebutt form the off season was that in spite of being a puss, Lenius might actually not be worthless. I could be totally off the mark here, but thought I saw commentary to this a/effect.

    I will save DDY a post:

    QB: Worse: I don't know how anyone thinks we will complete a pass

    RB: Worse: I don't know how anyone thinks we will cross the line of scrimmage

    OL: Worse: I don't know how anyone thinks we will block anyone

    TE/WR: Worse: I don't know how anyone thinks we will catch a pass

    Offense Overall: Worse. We are going to suck.

    So basically we're scoring 4 (2 safeties) every game?
    Yep. This thread is a wrap.

    Hardy Har Har TLDR: Offense should get slightly better, it could be elite if someone not expected steps up in the WR corps.

    That's good, because it was nothing special needs last year

    You? also lost zombiepuppetmaster Tedford

    The Cal fans didn't appreciate my maniacal laughter as that play unfolded over several minutes waiting for the Browning duck to fall from the sky
    Of course you were there!
    First one since 2007
    I knew you witnessed the beginning.

    They're trying to find someone to stretch the field. Bushka is too in love with the longish pass to not focus on that.

    Candidates:

    Lenius...you don't have to be a burner to be a good long ball threat of you see single coverage a lot and are big.

    Baccellia (sp?)...apparently our fastest receiver now from the team combine thing

    Ty Jones...see Lenius

    Alex Cook..long shot as he hasn't had much mention in reports. He is big, however, and (I believe) faster than Jones.

    Black beast...Bryant could sneak in there and burn defenses from time to time

    Salvon Ahmed...Almost certainly our fastest player, incredible shape and physical readiness, and the coaches obviously love him already.

    Verdict...long ball threat by committee. There's obviously no Ross, but it isn't necessary to have a guy that everyone knows is going deep that can burn them and pull it off anyways. You get favorable alignments, matchups, and situations and guys will get open down the field.

    The other verdict...yes the offense should go from decent to good due to maturation on the ol and at QB, plus more options outside.
