Message: [QUOTE="Palmer103, post: 763862, member: 3810"] Oline has been pretty average, IMO. They need more consistency in pass protection, but as you can imagine, every team we're playing is focused on getting pressure on Tajh and throws everything at them. We've had some injuries and been moving a lot of people around early this year. Luckily, this is the first time in a while that we actually have about 8-9 guys that can play. Thank goodness too, b/c if this was last year's team, we'd have been in trouble with all the injuries, suspensions, etc that we've had. RB's have been by committee this year. Hot Rod is the starter and kind of a scat back type of guy, while Brooks is more the power, in b/w the tackles guy. I've been pretty pleased with them overall. They're good enough to hurt you, and tend to get better as the game goes on. One thing we haven't really seen is anyone breaking a long one, which we're accustomed to after Spiller and Ellington the past 5 years. Hot Rod is capable and has the speed, but the HR threat from the RB position is down from previous years, no doubt. TEs have been hampered with injuries. We had to start Seckinger for the UGA game, and he was probably our 3rd best option coming into Spring. Leggett is our most talented guy, but just a true freshman. He scored last weekend on a great catch, and I expect to see more of him this Saturday. We've also kept our TEs in a little more this year to help with pass protection. Partly b/c we need help with blitz pickup on the line and partly b/c they aren't the receiving threats we've had the past 2 years with Ford and Allen. WRs are just pretty nasty across the board. I won't get into Sammy, b/c you know about him already. Hopper and Bryant are 2 big play guys that are really coming into their own, and should see that continue throughout the year. Humphries is a serviceable possession receiver that will find openings in the zone on 3rd downs, but won't beat anybody deep with speed. True Freshman Mike Williams will continue to get an expanded role with an injury we had to Peake the other week. He might have the best hands on the team and at 6'4" is going to be a great one. Not sure if he's quite ready for a breakout game on the road just yet though. Bryant will be your main concern deep opposite Sammy. He's 6'4" and just as fast as Sammy. Quite incredible measurables that eventually NFL teams will be drooling over. He's not even close to Sammy's production b/c mentally he just isn't there, still a little immature, and doesn't do the little things well (blocking, drops, etc). [/QUOTE]
