Who steps up at WR?

[Neyland Law Vol]

With Bru missing most of the season, and now Thorton out, who does Josh turn to at the WR position? We will rely on Squirrel in the slot and Keyton on the outside on one side. But who will be the third?

You have to think he has a few wrinkles saved for this game - do we have any young speedsters that he can draw up a few plays for?

I think it's a combination of Nimrod and Webb. They've both looked decent so far.

Webb is from Georgia. Maybe Saturday is his breakout game?

Why do you think that there is something new? I wouldn't count on any new wrinkles 10 games into the season.
They have shown us what the offense is every single game, believe them.

Sure would be a great story. I don't believe he received any offer or interest from UGA.

You are correct. This would have been the answer at the start of the season and everything since Bru injury confirms it.

Webb and Nimrod

Didn't I see that Dee Williams was working out a little behind Thornton in the slot? He's not the first or best choice but he was getting a little work in with the offense, I think.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

If he gets the system learned in time, I say Dee Williams

Only if we had a pass catching tight end?

Nimrod & Wells

Throw throw the ball to the TEs for goodness sake!

We do. Just don't use them much

Amen on the TE's

One wrinkle I bet we see is a fake punt. It’s been brewing for a while, Punter just hasn’t pulled the trigger.

 

[nomads-11]

I don't know the answer to OPs question. But. Kudos to Squirrel White!!! Love that guy, he just catches the ball first. Outstanding. Nimrod and Webb did GREAT things at Missouri.....IMO. Great to see! I'm not worried about WR going forward. Personally.

 

[Thin Blue Vol]

Nimrod and Webb are obvious choices to play more. Seems like D. Williams should get a look or have some plays drawn up to get him the ball in space. What about Leacock? Any news on him?

I hope SOMEONE steps up or we are definitely going to get stepped ON.

Perhaps Nathan Leacock might get some opportunities in the last 2 or 3 ball games.
