Right now Oronde is on track to get 57 receptions for 900 yards and 9 TDs for the regular season. My guess is that he ends up with over 1000 yards receiving and at least 10 TDs receiving. Seems like Coach Anae is not afraid to go to his best a lot and Oronde is our best by a long shot.
Disappointed with Courtney's play to date. He has lost some playing time and did not look comfortable last game when he was in. Seems like he is having problems adjusting to the new system. Hopefully he has a good game against Wagner and finishes the season strong.
Besides OG, Alford is the only guy I see getting open consistently against press coverage. He is probably our best blocker at WR too (kind of faint praise). Hope he gets his act together. I think he is our best bet to emerge as a solid #2 once we hit the solid defenses that are coming (NC State, Clemson, ND, Pitt, even FSU, Wake and BC are pretty solid). I think it would be a good idea to feature him in the Wagner game early and hopefully get his confidence up.
Pena was a bright spot at WR last week. I think he earned more targets this week and I hope he gets them. He is dangerous once he gets the ball in the open field.
I think Hatcher, Adams and Brown are the three guys not playing with the most potential for big plays. I am hoping one finds his way into the rotation. Based on the depth chart and what happened last week, looks like Hatcher is most likely to get a chance, followed by Adams and Brown.
On the offensive line, it sounds like Coach Babers is ready to experiment with some new lineups at OL. If there was ever going to be a game to try a new player, it is the Wagner game.
Hoping we see Enrique at RT. He is the logical guy to get a chance to play with the first team. The interesting question is, who does he replace? Thinking they will probably go with a rotation at OG featuring Davis, Bleich and Ellis. All three have had injury problems and could benefit from some rest in games. If two of the three emerge as being clearly better, give them most of the playing time.
Will someone else be given a chance at center? Vet has shown himself to be a capable RT. That would be interesting. Just don't see any viable candidate there. Josh doesn't seem ready. When OGs were tried at center, it didn't last long, which tells me they are not good fits there. Maybe Hoeh can step up here? It would be really interesting if Cruz played center and Vet played RT. That might be our most athletic lineup and might help open holes for inside running. I don't know that Enrique has worked at center though.
It will be interesting to see what happens on defense against Wagner. Wondering if we might move Johnson to one of the safety positions, temporarily anyway, to help address depth issues after the injuries we have suffered.
