I've always been a big fan of a thunder and lightning backfield, and it would appear that Stacy and Norman can provide some lightning, while Tate can provide some Thunder. With most of our offensive line returning and the addition of quality depth, a real strong running game would certainly help Larry come along nicely.<BR/><BR/>Plus I love Brady Brown's potential as a possession machine. If he can use his frame and get big catches on third down this offense could have instant improvement, assuming Ted Cain doesn't give away our full playbook on the first 2 drives.Stanimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068492073488859014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-17187147111187885502009-02-04T15:36:00.000-06:002009-02-04T15:36:00.000-06:00Good stuff, guys.

I think Trey Wilson and Eric Samuels will get playing time right away on special teams because of their skill sets. In terms of running backs we graduated our best runner, QB Chris Nickson. I think Wesley Tate could get some carries right away because as Seamus stated he doesn't need to get any bigger. I don't think both Stacy and Norman get on the field in 2009, but who it is I just don't know. Lastly I think Brady Brown will get a chance to get on the field right away just cause he adds such a unique option to our offense.Douglas Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239502832772753923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-30900623954677779432009-02-04T13:43:00.000-06:002009-02-04T13:43:00.000-06:00I've been talking all day about my man crush on Ch...I've been talking all day about my man crush on Charlie Goro. The guy runs a 10.9 100-meter dash and looks very slippery. Plus he makes good decisions, as evidenced by the TD/INT ratio, his coaches say his football IQ is excellent, and he's a great team leader. Have we had a great leader at QB in recent years? You can bulk him up and make him stronger but you can't coach speed and those other intangibles. Even if Larry Smith and Jared Funk turn out to be a great 1-2 punch for the next couple years, we could not ask for much more in terms of depth at the QB position with this pickup.<BR/><BR/>And, speaking of 100-meter dashes: How 'bout Wes Tate's 10.8? This guy runs up high like Eric Dickerson, which frankly might be a negative against hard-hitting SEC LBs, but he absolutely explodes through the holes. I predict Tate gets significant playing time right away. At 6'2, 210, I'm not sure how much more he needs to do physically unless Bobby envisions him as more of a fullback, in which case he needs to get bigger. <BR/><BR/>RB Zac Stacy looks pretty good but if you look at his highlight tapes you'll notice that his offensive line in high school was a bunch of man-children who just abused opposing defenses, so he may be a question mark.<BR/><BR/>I agree with DJ though -- the real story of this class has to be the offensive linemen. This is where we're notoriously thin, but with three very solid guys coming in to play backup to a young but experienced O-line, and with time to develop, I'm excited about the possibility of generating some legitimate offense and not folding like a lawn chair in the 4th quarter.Seamus O'Toolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811017078765515449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-78090409882405613172009-02-04T12:03:00.000-06:002009-02-04T12:03:00.000-06:00Watching Mylon Brown's highlight clip, I like his ...Watching Mylon Brown's highlight clip, I like his feet, particularly in the highlight where he recovers to pick up the outside blitz. Plus at 300 lbs. he only has to add 10-20 lbs. <BR/><BR/>Agreed that he could be a hidden gem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-70950527725889861002009-02-04T11:54:00.000-06:002009-02-04T11:54:00.000-06:00Might be a good idea to watch some film, scour the...Might be a good idea to watch some film, scour the depth chart, and take some educated guesses on which of these recruits should/might see playing time next year, which might be impact players, and which ones might need to redshirt.
