Why we need another WR, but not because of what you're thinking.

So, I actually think our WR corps with Funchess healthy won't be a dumpster fire, what I do think is our biggest issue right now is depth. I don't think we need to do anything fancy but I just don't understand what it would hurt to get a one year rental from any number of options.

The biggest reason for this is because if Funchess or Olsen or Ginn goes down this season is pretty much a wash. We need one more WR just for depth. I do think the answer is on our roster for a starting 5. I just don't think we have any wiggle room if any other necessary offensive piece at the WR position (and TE position obviously but nothing we can do there) goes down. We aren't working with supreme talent at the WR position but for our gameplan I think our WR right now will do the job just not if someone goes down. What say you?

Can't argue with that. I'm also hoping Boykin gets some looks with the first stringers next game. See if he can build a similar chemistry with Cam as he has with DA. He needs as many reliable targets as he can get.

We have depth at the bottom of our WR corps and our top 2 were set, that was why there was optimism for our WR corps cause we had not only our #1 and #2 set we had a bunch of talent at the bottom end

Now our top end talent is absolutely fuged, we just lost our #1, yeah we have had our deepest WR corps in a long time but it was only considered deep due to the bottom end talent, not deep as in we have 3 guys who could be a #1 WR

As inception like and almost confusing as that statement was it's exactly correct.  Someone asked if we were all excited about WR's before, why do we all of a sudden go from Excitement to Panic after one injury. 

The excitement was banking on KB developing even further and having Funchess opposite of him. This would allow a bit of pressure off of Kelvin along with learning room for Funchess.  Now this changes the entire dynamic of the team, Funchess may essentially get double teamed.  We still have a better base than what we went in with last year, the main difference being Kelvin had higher expectations being drafted in the 1st (along with filling the shoes of Steve.)

How can anyone be against a trade at this point? We got our most consistent player (Olsen) through a trade and ever since then we haven't even attempted a trade (not counting the Beason dump). This not risking the future crap has to be most wussy thing I have ever heard, who ever has that mentality has to grow a pair.

 

Jacksonville and Tennessee are stacked with you talented receivers, I wonder if they are willing to trade,

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
