Flip side, I could see our run game being close to unstoppable. I don't know if Taggartt uses 2-back sets much, but the thought of Royce and TBJ/Taj playing on the same field should scare opponents.
Drew Davis...common man...Our WRs during the Pflugrad era weren't very good.
2007/2008 we had: Colvin, J-Will, Paysinger, Ed Dickson, Terrance Scott, Garren Strong, Pflugrad, DJ Davis
vs
Nelson, Breeland, Mitchell, Ofodile, Daewood Davis, McNeal,
If we had Carrington I might say this years version is on par but without him we are dreadfully thin.
Nelson 50 catches last year
Breeland -6
Mitchell -2
Ofodile 1

Ofodile is injured and two of those guys are true freshman. WR is incredibly thin but te is even thinner. Two guys

Drew Davis played 3 seasons for the Falcons. Just because he didn't get the ball at Oregon doesn't mean he wasn't a very good receiver.

Very good is a stretch...and he didn't get the ball because that's the offense we ran...I think it'll be similar this year.
