Coley and Burns

2 guys that should play this year. There is no point of redshirting guys like this who will most likely be gone in 3 anyway.

Burns has the potential to be an all-american here before he's done. Elite athleticism, prototypical size and speed, and seems to play with a nasty streak.

Also love hearing Coley getting after it, kid could be special as well.

Pretty sure both of these guys are in the top 6 athletes on the team already. Turning that into production will be a mental thing for both.

For Burns it will be the ability to process information, though my hope is some of that is reduced by playing the Nickel "roamer" position where he's used closer to the line of scrimmage and to chase plays.

For Coley, my complete speculation is that it will be mental in that he has to stay focused and patient (because of the depth chart opportunities). Basically, he'll get a small window and has to convert. Lockhart got a tiny window last year and, for multiple reasons, couldn't turn that into anything. Hopefully, Morris' touch has improved because a guy like Coley could find a spot as a Red Zone target. We need one.

Because every time I mention Ferman, everybody starts talking smack and the thread turns into bashing him. Much simpler to say what I said. This board never appreciates information

Just list the source instead of making it look like you are in the know. You do the same **** with Pete and Tito's info over on ITU.

TIFWIW, but I am hearing rumblings from a variety of sources that the scuttlebutt is this dude posts as rparantha on CS and does the same **** with Pete/Tito's info....

it would be a disservice to your team if your coaches asked these guys to process too much. not saying that is what you're saying, but that's what i took from your posts.

one of the things i liked about meyer is that with really talented young guys he just lets them play. i recall a story of him talking about janoris jenkins where he played man all year except a handful of snaps, he didn't want to overload him with anything just let him use his athleticism and cover. same with guys offensively, get them in space and get them the rock. burns and coley are those type of players, just let them do their thing and don't 'overcoach.'

Burns and Coley should help immediately on KR/PR. They're both explosive enough to contribute right out the gate.

I don't know if that's what will happen. That's my concern. I trust Golden and crew on this, though.
 
I also heard that both of them are doing great, and are future superstars. I'm not an insider, but I did stay at a holiday Inn last night!

Heard Coley fell and skinned his knee badly today during wood shop class. He'll be out 6-8 hours while he watches a video about arthroscopic knee surgery.
 
Since Artie beat Coley in the Greentree 40yard dash competition...other teammates (Waters, Scott, etc...) have been urging him and Dorsett to race. But, this was Dorsett response...

1) Phillip Dorsett ‏@Dorsett_4

@_audi8 I'm not racing, nobody on this team can beat me in running.. And they know that!

I always credit sites/writers on tos, as a matter of fact they asked me not to post information from other sites. So, I paraphrase. Just like all thread killa's "updates" are directly from 247 and not always credited. We're all canes fam and should be thankful for all that distribute pertinent information to all the family. I do have sources with good information and when that's the case, I say so.

So I guess this means that Burns is regarded as one of the fastest guys on the team.

Dorsett dodging though. SMH
