Our offense is simply loaded. Like 2000/2001/2002 loaded.

Depth at QB and RB are probably the only issues.

OL and WR are loaded and as has been noted earlier OL could be best ever. HOWEVER QB and RB have no experienced, quality depth (I am being generous) and we are one hit away to Duke of Morris from disaster. TE is a question as well- there is talent at TE but not Winslow/Shockey talent yet.

2000-2002 teams were loaded two deap. We are close on offense but not there yet. This is plenty good as long as Duke or Morris do not get hurt.

Every team in America is one hit on the QB away from a disaster of a season. If Dorsey went down back on the day Miami had nobody behind worth a **** and very little depth. At least if Morris goes down we have a RS Junior on the roster ready to step in at 6'6" 235lbs who's been in the system for three years.

Duke, Hagens, Crawford, Clements, Dillard, and Gus will do just fine this season. Duke is an every down back despite what everyone thinks. Hagens is running hard right now. Crawford makes a defense have to respect the option to throw. Clements has always hit the hole hard and quick. Dillard should be ready to pound the rock. Gus was a stud so he should get some garbage time at the very least.

Our fans really need to stop writing off underclassmen.

I think what scares people is the unknown commodities behind Duke. We simply haven't seen any of them have success on this level running the football. The othe guys you mentioned should do fine, but there's nobody that jumps out at you. It doesn't feel like Portis, McGaee, Najeh, and Gore. Not saying we can't win with these guys, but if Alex Collins were a cane I think people would feel a little better about the RB situation.

Alex Colon is a pu$$y. I have a feeling he'll be one of those dudes who gets dinged up easily and becomes unreliable based on how he reacted to that little dinged up wrist he had last year. He doesn't have the fortitude to take a beating and keep grinding.

Jarrett Payton was a soap horse, and he ran for a g-note when we had excellent talent around him. I'm sure there's someone on the roster at least as talented as Payton.

David Boston agrees with you JHallCanes. That guy was more interested in lotioning and oiling his muscles then he was being an NFL WR. He was walking tissue paper after he put on all that ridiculous muscle. Smh. Im hoping the coaches are keeping an eye on DP because we cant afford to have him always injured esp since we lost EJ.

IIRC only 6 WRs can travel on road games. That is going to be a SICK battle between Lewis, Coley, Carter, Jones for those last 2 spots. Im not sold that Lewis is 100% that is why he put him in that group. WOW @ Waters running in the 4.3 range. Swasey is puttin in work with him. He was a 4.7 guy comin into UM.

Dorsett doesnt have to be Santana. If he just give us a little Kevin Williams or Roscoe Parrish type production that will put this WR corp over the top. He cant have mental lapses like he did toward the end of the season. Or he will lose his job for good this time.

Did you just compare Perryman to David Boston? SMH.
 
The more I think about it, Im not upset about Morris not redshirting, bottom line, if he has the type of season we hope he has and if he were a RS Jr, chances are he'd bolt, regardless

What I do question is starting Jacory Harris in front of him in 2011. But I suspect Golden didn't want to lose the lockerroom in his first year.
 
It's not like Harris played badly in 2011. And, Morris had his chance against Maryland and didn't deliver (rain, suspensions, I know). At least Goldens threw Morris in there against FSU in Tally.

If memory serves....very few were calling for Morris over Jacory at the time. (esp after the Maryland game) - his talents were dismissed by most. Those that were pushing for SM were labelled Jacory haters when likely they wanted to build for the future. That said, you can't really deny what Jedd did for Jacory - but still, it wasn't excellent and SM had more potential and upside than JH ever did.

I'm excited for him this year. I don't think we will have the season we want due to the other side of the ball - so I will revert to hoping for exceptional seasons for particular players with their futures in mind.

GO CANES
 
The offense wasn't nearly good enough last year to keep them in the games against the better teams. A lot of that had to do with Morris' inconsistency. Fixing his footwork, along with the WR's maturing will help.
