Something minor but interesting to note (Receivers)

I thought coming into the season we would be spreading the ball around with our new WR group more than we did 2013 and even though Shula has been Shula, we've managed to already have this in 4 games: 

 

Benjamin--- 21 rec 329 yds

Olsen--- 21 rec 254 yds

Cotchery--- 13 rec 158 yds

Philly Brown--- 9 rec 101 yds

...not to mention Avant at 10 & 90.  

 

So after 5 weeks, we most likely will have 5 receivers with over 10 receptions and 100 yards.  

 

Last season, we only had 6 total by the END of the season and 2 of them were running backs.  

 

I'm on the anti-Shula wagon like many right now but you can't argue we haven't been distributing the ball around more.  Yeah, it also has to do with the lack of run game, some minor injuries and us needing to pass but we're at least managing to see what these young guys are worth during the season in Brown and Bersin.  Brown fugged up big against the Steelers but it's totally redeemable if he continues to look sharp on the receiving end for us and manage to improve on punts...because there's obviously some spark in him compared to what we had prior to Ginn.  

 

Random observation but I thought it was worth noting.

I would give more credit towards Cam's improvement in throwing from the pocket than Shula's play-calling skills.

 

Yeah I think that's true and having guys like Avant and Cotchery help as well.  I liken them seekers...essentially always looking for the ball even after a play breaks or is extended.  We haven't had those types for Cam quite yet and it's helping him with his progressions.

      After the first off-season BY said this in his first presser and you still don't believe it??? Then you know when people change form workouts, cause it is seen with eyes. BY looks the same as the day they drafted him, but you don't believe?? That's the proof, he's the same dude but you know better??I bet the kicker is now bigger after after he put in the necessary work that pros do and not " LOL I needed a break, lols". Theres alllll sort of PEDs out there for someone just like him and BY wants to remain below 190, what a leader....   Brainwashing at it finest.

      Here's tonight's projected starting lineup according to the Hurricanes Official website.  Goalie TBD, but I think we'll all be surprised if it's not the Bus.  I can't see this being anything other than an injury for Freddie with not being at the morning skate this morning.  Let's! Go! CANES!!!   Tonight's Projected Lineup... Forwards Ehlers - Staal - Jarvis Hall - Stankoven - Blake Svechnikov - Aho - Martinook Carrier - Jankowski - Robinson Defense Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Gostisbehere - Nikishin Starting Goaltender TBD --- Injuries N/A Scratches Nicolas Deslauriers Jesperi Kotkaniemi Mike Reilly --- PP1: Aho, Ehlers (Staal), Jarvis, and Svechnikov with Gostisbehere PP2: Blake, Hall, Jankowski, and Stankoven with Nikishin
