...forgetting about Markeith Ambles are we?!
i def. see what you're sayingWhy does the 'explosive threat' have to be a wideout? Why not Brown or Oku? They both will be stronger, faster, and a year experienced next year.
Since we are losing 4/5 of our O-line, why not Douglas? He could be an explosive player next year at LT. Is a single 70 yard play more important than a series of 5 yard pickups off left tackle?
USC never had a expolsive threat at WR, during the Carroll Tenure. They always had guys like Mike Williams, Dominque Byrd, Dwayne Jarrett, Steve Smith, Keary Colbert. Fundamentally sound recievers.
Still, we are left wondering two things:
1. Who gets the playmaker(s) the ball?
2. How do we protect said distributor?
40 times are irrelevant if we are discussing a series of patterns that are based upon a 3 step drop.
Without a functional O-line (which says something about the scholarship players behind the walk-on Sullins boys), we can't expect to enjoy the fruit of a playmaker's labor.
Anybody disagree???? If so, please renounce your understanding of the game of football
