Starting receivers this spring

[DeusExMachina]

I'm not doubting their ability to catch in traffic.

I'm more worried about their ability to get off physical man coverage and get open. That's not such a big deal in the slot, but if on the outside, you have to have physical wideouts. Blanc might have that, but I've seen Carter and Young, and I don't think they can. JMO.

I think all of our WRs will see considerable PT throughout the season, but it may be around mid-season before we really see them blossom.

Early on, I expect us to heavily rely on the ground game and a limited passing game until the receivers are ready for opening up the playbook.

Lets just hope Neal, Lane, and Hill (my breakout contributor), are ready to carry the load week in and week out.

By the end of the year I think the starters will be Howard, North and Bowles.

Who was our most dependable WR last year? Broke the game open vs NCSU and scored 3 touchdowns at USCjr I believe? Oh a white guy. My bad. He might not even get drafted. Practice squad player probably. He torched an "all american" repeatedly and was the only offense we had in Columbia. Quit acting like white WRs are non factors in the fall. History says otherwise.
