Unfortunately the good ones sit on the freakin bench! 86, 3 and 81 are the best we have and all we do is play the slow ones that can't catch or run. I can tell u that the strength is not DB's or DL or RB. Its our WR's....Heavens is a speedster and RJ can play and 86 can too. These crazy coaches play slow WR's like 19 and 8. Bumphis is a joke too and he's slow. Why do the coaches not play the talent?
The strength of this team is the WR's if there is one
- Thread starter vicious
- Start date

Our WRs are turrible. If you think otherwise, you are an idiot. The only WR who deserves more touches is Lewis, and Mullen is apparently incapable of realizing that he should probably give the ball to his most explosive player.
Heavens has accomplished what in his career? He is nonexistent. Robert Johnson is big, but he is far from fast. Carr is the most physically gifted WR on the roster, but he has to learn to fight for the ball. He plays timid.

Its amazing that you know all this about Heavens, Carr and Johnson when they play 0 to 3 snaps a ball game and have 0 to 1touch per game. What a joke. Soft is dropping a pass over the midddle because he's scared to get hit (see GA). The three listed receivers aboveare not on the field much and certainly get nolegitimate chance to prove your stupid comment right or wrong. You have no clue not due to you incompetency just due tonodecent history to go by. The WR's that can't seperate are the ones constantly on the field. RJ can't be much slower than what's on the field and Carr has more talent than anyone on that offense. We keep throwing the long passes to two guys that weren't recruited by any decent teams. Throw in Bumphis who is a bust and you have three receivers that are second tier. To have Carr, Johnson and Heavens sitting on the bench says quite abit about the depth. These guys need to be in the game...they can't do any worse than the three that play all the time. There is more talented depth here than any other position.
Bumphis is a bust is laughable. He was on pace to break a lot of receiving records at the beginning of the season. This year he's disappeared for 2 reasons, 1. We're spreading the ball to a lot of different people. 2. Relf's passing game is not what it was at the end of last year. Just because he's not living up to the title of the next "Percy Harvin" he was labeled does not make him a bust. Our receiving corp is a strength this year, we just need to find someone that can get them the ball.
However, there are some talented WR's that we sit. RJ was a monster in the spring game and he gets no chance to see the field? He can't do any worse than these kids seeing the field now. They are too slow. Teams don't respect their speed because there is none. Heavens is our fastest WR and we keep throwing the fly to a kid who in a combine ran a 4.65? We keep sending one of our slowest WR's on a fly....makes no sense.
...playing against a fragmented defense without real pressure on the quarterback. This reasoning can go both ways, but how can you be sure he's so good when he hasn't run a single play in a real collegiate game? I can remember multiple key drops by Heavens over his career, and for a perfect example of Carr playing soft, see Relf's interception in the LSU game. No one's saying these guys can't be good for us; they're just not the magical solution to our problems at this point in time.
To add to PBRME's reasons why Bumphis isn't showing up, he typically draws the opponent's best corner, as well as the attention of a safety. Out of all of our receivers, he has the most excuse for not getting open.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><span class="user-name"></span>

I have any good memories about. Wool was thick and dreams of BCS..........good grief I'll stop.
No magical solution with the WR's, but in my humble, "senile" opinion, the best receivers aren't on the field so to tell me what they can and cannot do is somewhat misguided and I DO NOT trust a WR coach that's a buck past 24 and probably drank his first beer a year ago.
