It's always been a huge part of our offense whenever we've been good and will be this year since TE's usually serve as the safety blanket for QBs in a new system.
I think you are underestimating Parris; he's not a burner but on film he has good RAC ability and is a great athlete for his size.
Brisly Estime... kid will lead all of our WR's in touchdowns this year. He is that fast and that good. He was an absolute steal. Cant wait for everyone to see what he brings to the table.
He won't get the PT to lead the team in TD's and may never be on the field in the red zone where speed is minimized.

NW game we also ran into some terrible officiating. Cincy game was winnable too and we had some questionable calls, especially that one on the goal line. Turrible.
Sales did a very nice job last year but I don't think there is any question that Alec Lemon was the most reliable wr on the team.
We did win at least two games on the last possession - our ability to throw effectively and efficiently was the difference between 7-5 and 5-7.
Marrone was basically two series from a losing season - pretty amazing that the margin for error at this level is so thin.
So, we better be more athletic and we better have more depth and we better play defense more effectively or this could be a tough season.
And a couple of bad calls from 9-3 (NW and Cinci).
Once Pugh came back AND they committed to the run it was a different team. Four of the five highest rushing totals in Marrone's four years here came in the second half of last season. 5th, Uconn (251); 3rd Temple (260), 2nd Louisville (278); 1st WVU (369).
Big parts of that run game are still here, and with either of the new QB's they can add more zone read to it.
you will see...
kid will be on the field a ton. he will also win our return job at some point, which will get him 1-4 more TDs.
I will stand by this comment and we can check in after the season.

No doubt I dont want to sell Parris short. I am looking forward to seeing what he and Batten can do on the field.
No concerns on the starting right side? I'm not sure our right side will be quick enough to excel in pass protection.I think the key to this season will be keeping our offensive line healthy. 1-7 we are very very good. If Hickey, and Foy/Knapp go down we could be in trouble.

I think Foy will be fine. If he is holding off Knapp the coaches must like him. Sure they could be grooming Knapp specifically for the left side once Hickey leaves, but I am sure if they didn't believe in Foy they would start him this season. Foy may not have quickness on his side, but that's where his size comes into play. I am expecting a lot of quick hitters in McDonald's offense, I don't think we will be seeing many pro style 7 step drops where you have count on extended pass protection.

Good post. I think a lot of slants. Hope we use a bubble screen, particularly with Estime and Broyld. Get them in open space and let them do some damage.
I'm concerned about RT - really the only position of concern for 2013 (again). I hope we don't have a repeat of last year. I really have a much deeper respect for the Oline after seeing the return of Justin Pugh to the line up.
PSU is the most popular CFB program in metro NYC. I imagine it will at least be 2:1, probably worse.
I was disgusted by the turnout for the USC game last year, soured me on the entire MetLife arrangement. Now that we have big boy conference money rolling in I hope we can extricate from that deal ASAP.
I finally understand what you meant. Whew!I'm concerned about RT - really the only position of concern for 2013

Hope you're right. But curious where this optimism is coming from. Just a hunch or something more?
