The one silver lining is that maybe we are looking for a RB that can be more of a receiving threat/dump off threat.  If so, then Willis is not as crucial a retention.  If we were to morph into a more running-based offense, then I think we would want to keep Willis and add another RB to fill that versatile role.

And then, from WR, if we have Angeli back and at full strength, then I think he can get the ball to everyone--raising the sea level for all ships (or some saying like that).  With the right QB, all receivers move up in performance.  In that case, then we don't necessarily need Gill either if he can do better elsewhere.  But, in Gill's case, I would think he would be one we would want to keep if he was close to budget.

The concern is that, at Syracuse, I think we need coordinators who can adjust to the roster each year depending on the good and bad of the portal results.  If we don't get the beefy OL, maybe we need to use quicker/mobile OL somehow.  And so on.  Whatever the ingredients, find a way to make a good soup.  I have some legit concerns about Nixon in that regard (well, maybe not legit since that suggests it is not subjective, but you know what I mean).

It's great if Angeli is 100%... but what are the odds that any QB#2 is going to be at his level?  Will an adequate WR room be enough to help a lesser QB?
