I don't know why they think we won't have as powerful a passing attack. We have some very good QBs...in the wings...waiting to play. However, the threat of Dixon's running should make it somewhat easier for our QB to pass. I'm very much looking forward to the Spring game.
Tevin King got hurt before the world had a chance to really see what he can do. With the two of them in our backfield, we will definitely be a threat to score everytime we get the ball. I agree with you, 70TechGrad, some reporters don't do enough homework to know that we have guys like Scotty Young waiting in the wings. We do not have Franklin calling plays anymore, so we will see how that works out, but I think we will still be good on offense. I'm hoping for good things from our D.
I'm glad I don't have to tackle Kenneth Dixon.
We will be good in the RB dept. Dixon, King, Lee...Also, I was impressed with Seets from last years Spring Game.
Actually, I remember King showing us what he can do. That is a true tandum of RB's that we will have!Originally Posted by StrayDawg
We probably won't. We lost a Senior QB in Cameron. A very fast excellent deep threat in White and one of the best WRs in our history and one of the best WRs in the country in Patton and on top of all that the vast majority of offensive linemen that kept that QB safe. I highly doubt our passing game will be as efficient or effective.
Doesn't mean it cant be good. Good as last year is a tall order.
And guys like Scotty Young while highly recruited have NO experience. His success is far from automatic.
I think we will have a decent offense next year but I'm a realist and I'm not ready to drink kool aid just yet.
I believe we will have a successful passing game. Running game will only make it better by taking the heat off the pass rush. While Cameron was excellent I believe our only step down will be in experience and experience comes fast. Cameron had very little experience when he got the start halfway through the 2011 season.
Everything hinges on the offensive line, replacing 4 starters is no small feat. You can have the worlds best running back but if he's got 6 defenders in his face every play he's going to look like one of the worst, same goes for pass protection.
We will run the ball more because A: Coach Holtz's offensive philosphy and B: We have 2 beasts of a rb's and one workhorse. I won't complain if we don't average 500+ yards a game as long as we win.
Same here.
Peterson told me his offensive philosophy isn't much different than Franklin's.
Retooling the OL is very difficult. The good thing might be that they can gel as the season progresses so a bad start could be salvaged.
Well Franklin had Tech as one of top rushing offenses in the country last year so that's just fine.
You must know more about our OL than I do.
I also keep hearing people say/write things about Young that they can't possibly know. Just going on faith and an extra star by his name on Rivals. I hope he lives up to his expectations. He might. Some of us are almost sure he will though. Don't see where that confidence comes from.
Scotty throws a very tight accurate ball......in practice. The O line was deep last year . We will be fine there . Matt Moore knows the "system" blocking scheme as well as anyone.
