Someone has stepped up every year so far. It was Amba in 2016. While we all assumed it would be Ish last year, his 2016 stats weren't markedly better than Butler's 2017 stats. I'm holding out hope that Butler will be markedly improved.

We have seen this in camp the last few years. An offenses best weapon is the element of surprise. Our dbs know routes and trends and that makes the D look dominant.

Butler and Riley have shown they can get open long ... Just need to work on their consistency in catching the ball

IIRC we were saying the same things about Amba and Ish too. Hopefully Riley and Butler take similar steps. We were a Riley dropped TD away from leading LSU in the 4th.

I love that Riley was 155 last year and is now 170. He was just too small. 15 lbs more at that size is quite a bit. 170 at 5'-8" is more acceptable. I don't remember seeing pics of him. Is he looking bigger?

Nykeim's my pick to replace the bulk of Erv's production. I think he's going to get first crack anyway.
Butler's next for me to replace Ish. I'm hopeful for Custis, but I just don't know at this point.
I'm personally not big on Riley as a WR, but that doesn't mean anything, maybe he tears it up this year.
I think Moe's hugely productive.
History says we won't lean on a young guy, I think that holds mostly true. But I do think we get mild production from either one of the RFR's or true FR class.

Maybe he'll have a career similar to Chew?
I hope you're right Ish. I'm not getting the warm and fuzzys from the WR corp and thankfully the OL is better to buy ED more time to make a decision which hopefully isn't run, if there is no early separation for the WR's.

They worry me too. Dont need greatness, just 3 or 4 guys to understand the offense and make the right read off the LOS for starters. I think we have plenty of guys that can run and catch.
We were just a year off from being in sync with erv and ish and this oline coming together as they are this year.
They need to make the 3rd down into a 1st down and consistently catch the ball thrown in their area. I say this until SU has a guy that can catch and turn to the house. I don't see the guys that can catch and run yet. I see some that can catch and some that can run both not both so far. I also don't see a guy that can go long yet, Riley is the best I've seen on the team and he struggles at times with that.
