Lol, i dont think taylor is even being considered.
The last part is problematic because I don’t think plummer looks left very much.. probably not natural for most above average college passers
I’d rather see what Yaseen and Collin Sullivan can do at this point. They are more talented and have bright futures.
It seems Brohm was still holding out hope for DB3 playing this week earlier this week. It’s strictly a matter of DB3 clearing the concussion protocols. It seems like he’s doing quite a bit better.
When I think mismatches.. anthrop is not fast at the slot. Sheffield is.. eh. Maybe they work burks in and start getting some big gainers in the middle to make defenses be honest
Anthrop gets open. Sheffield not so much.
Anthrop is by far better than sheffield.. but it would be nice if they could spring someone with some more speed. Anthrop doesn’t scare anyone. Good dude though
I hate to single out a guy like this, but besides overall starter health and OL play, TJ might be the biggest variable between a 5 win and 7 win team. Currently trending toward 5-6. I didn't expect him to be Rondale Jr., but with his speed he needs to produce more than he is in the slot.
I mean .. it’s not pop Warner. I’m just talking about performance on the football field when I talk about these guys. Off the field they could be an angel or the worst guy you ever met for all I know
Youre two best offensive weapons are Bell and Durham. the other WRs are going to get enough targets to be really impactful. Be nice if they caught them when they did get targeted.
When Anthrop came into the game against ND, he got open. And he caught balls. I've been skeptical about Anthrop vs Sheffield. But I've not seen Sheffield do anything thus far this season. So If Anthrop keeps getting open and making catches, keep him in the dang game. He may not be blazing fast. But he's one of the most dependable receivers we have right now.
I don't think Anthrop is a mismatch guy, but I do think he's someone the D loses sight of or forgets about. I also think he understands how to find the open space in the defense. He's not going to make big plays, but he's a safe, reliable option. Similar to a Danny Amandola or Wes Welker type (not just because they're small white guys also).
We don't need every receiver to make big plays. We need guys to make first downs. We do that, and we move the ball. We move the ball, and we score. I don't care if we score via big play or move the ball to score 80 yards on 20 plays.
I don’t think he’s bad nor was I in any way saying that. Solid guy.

But without an effective TJ, who is our speed guy? Who is running the jet sweeps to assist a paltry run game and bring the safeties closer to the line? Who is taking the 2 yard option route and turning it into a first down? You can't use Bell and Durham for everything.
With our line, i wouldnt worry about jet sweeps.
That last line is what I'm referring to when I say the difference between 5 and 7 wins
Yeah, i dont think Rondale would get us two wins this year.
5 of 6 games in 2020 were decided by a touchdown or less. You don't think a speedy playmaker could create an extra TD in 2 close games?
He was a part of 2 of those games. We lost them both. He wasnt a part of 3 of those games. We were 2-1 and no, i dont think he would have changed anything against NW.
You're talking win shares. And I agree. However, if your win shares add up to equal your opponent's win shares then every +/- fraction counts. A long snapper has negligible win share value, but he could easily cost you a game if it comes down to a field goal and he botches the snap. Same thing with a receiver with big play ability.
