Story: Route running the winter focus for Penn State wideout Malick Meiga
- Thread starter DavidEckert
- Start date
He'll need to consistently create separation as well as catch the ball to break out this season. KLS has proven he can do both. It's still a guessing game as far as I'm concerned. The only catch I remember him making last season was a wide-open broken coverage catch that went for a touchdown. I'm hoping he breaks out to give us a big man option out there.
I don't believe we will see more 4 WR sets, but that does not preclude Meiga, or other WR's, from taking some reps from KLS or the other two presumed starters. Great teams have the depth to keep their WR's fresh, but although PSU has had some dynamic WR's during Franklin's tenure at PSU I believe the lack of substitutions at WR are more a reflection on the lack of confidence in the 4th, 5th, and 6th WR's than wanting to keep the starters on the field for almost all the offensive plays. So I believe that if a few of Meiga, Clifford, Dottin, Wallace and possibly Evans are ready for prime time they will get more opportunities that what the "backups" we have had recently have gotten. And that will make the 3 WR's on the field fresher and more productive than what we've been used to.

I'd like to see the end zone fade just fade away, like old soldiers.
No disagreement there because unless you have a QB who can toss it, it's essentially a clock stopper.
But
If it stays in the playbook, ya know, throw it to somebody with height.
