The only WRs I have strong confidence to get open against a good press defense are OG and JRS.  Even with JRS, I have some reservations about how he does against the really good press CBs we are going to go up against in the ACC.  Don’t think he saw many top end CBs so far in his college career.

It will help that we don’t face Clemson, FSU and ND.  NC State and VT have good CBs but I don’t think they are at the same level as the big boys of the ACC.  Pitt used to but it looks to me as though the talent there has dropped off quite a bit in the last couple of years.

That said, ability to get open and make catches against press coverage is a big reason why I think OG and JRS will be our most successful WRs this year.

Can Haynes, Meeks, Hatcher, Pena and Gill get open against high end CBs?  Not sure.  We know Haynes and Meeks have practiced against them a lot.  I think it helps that the best coverage guys will probably be put on OG and JRS.  The other guys are never going to get doubled.  They should have many chances to show what they can do.
