Only concern with this much talent at WR and all the rotating is Malik getting/staying in sync with all these guys. I guess it's better than lacking depth by all means.

whats the obsession with position switches?

I'm not really obsessed with it just thinking about how stacked the WR depth is and will continue to be after each recruiting class.

But Ezzard is a beast i've been high on him at WR since we got him.... reminds me of Andre Johnson in terms of physicality and athleticism. I want him to play on the outside but he does bring a different impact at the slot.
 
Also redwine is no chop liver either, that man's game kept elevating as the season went on. He had several forced fumbles late last year, and plus we all know, with this coaching, they are going to play who is suppose to start for the most part. That's the funny thing about rosier, coach richt was seriously not trying to play him when he got here, but eventually rosier won em over for now, and for a first time starter for the whole season, he was doing some ballin.

One things for sure about rosier, he's going to battle to the best of his ability. If he's able to improve by hitting on the big plays to be had when they are there, this offense is going to be EXPLOSIVE!
 
Pope is going to get his chance to shine immediately.
I do not find it surprising that he is rotating with the first team at Z. I don't think there is a team in America that could cover Richards, Thomas and Pope simultaneously with man coverage. Someone is going to get open and have a chance at a big gain every time.

As For Ezzard in the slot I like it. Height has nothing to do with it, just as long as you run crisp routes and can take hits on the line and down the middle. Remember Njoku played some slot too and he was not too big for position.

You would think you would want your quicker guys in the slot to create mismatches but hey we had David Njoku in the slot doing the same thing and that worked out very well for us.

You can’t coach scared. You have to coach to your team’s strength. And ours is our insane allotment of skill depth and talent.

If you have a couple 3 and outs then so be it. It’s then the defense’s job to force a couple 3 and outs.

Spread em out and increase the tempo. Then gash the fck out of them in the run game like Briles. Spread. Increase tempo. Stay balanced in the run game.

I would like to see it Richt do it cause I agree we have the skill players to run that style of offense. Give our talent to the coaches at Oklahoma, Auburn, UCLA, A&M, FAU amongst others and we would be putting up 40pts a game. It’s just not Richts style typically.

Hightower has been getting some high praise too

Yeah, when I watch coaches interviews its Hightower that gets top praise. One of Richt interviews last week he said hightower was the only one he would trust on the field right now. Gave all the freshman wr's high praise though, just seems Hightower is more consistent with his assignments and running the right route.

The future looks bright for our canes!

Tempo is not the friend of defense of either team. Once your defense get tired, it becomes a long game.

Well, I said 'at times', I dont think Richt will ever become Chip Kelly or Art Briles but what really isn't the friend of defense is one that can't get off the field consistently on 3rd downs and lets drives linger.

But in my view, with solid QB play this is an offense that should regularly put up 35-plus points a game(and I dont mean putting up 70 on Bethune Cookman and the like to skew the averages) and it should be one that pushes things, not just in tempo but in approach - let these thoroughbreds run

No doubt the defense can be it’s own worse enemy. Third down failures on defense and offense has been a major problem for us. I have no problem with 35 points a game. Heck, tempo isn’t bad, but tempo without scores is deadly for forth quarters.

Finally got competition at almost every position. CMR and his staff has done a great job building depth. 3 deep. Develop talent and win championships
