Glad to hear he is a Duck. But IDK about him coming right in to LT's spot????
BJ Kelley is one in shorter and has been hear for a a min learning the Offence.

My thoughts on the FR WR class: If any of them were that amazing, they'd be playing right now. That isn't to dismiss the class by any means, but the path is open for an incoming wr to see immediate playing time.

You don't think Devon Blackmon could have made more of a difference then Murphy, Hoffman, Dungy and Mackie......combined?

Well, he hasn't been in a game all season so no, I don't think he could have made more of a difference and especially not combined. If he could have, I'm positive we would have seen him out there by now.

Nice get by the Ducks. As for him playing as a FR, it's not out of the realm of possibility since he's already got some size on him and he could just easily pick up the playbook to be able to play, sort of like Huff did.

Been saying this all season. I really think that this group of WRs will be lethal in a year or two but If any of them were the special talent we were hoping they'd be, they'd be playing. You really think they couldn't put Blackmon or Sumler in some of the packages they use for DAT? If those kids were ready they would.

Tremendous pickup though, really cool that we were able to come in late & snag this kid. He's exactly what we needed & sounds like he's a really mature kid. Good sign that he'll come in & play early.

I love how you guys think "he could easily pick up the play book and play early." In reality, who knows.... He is a high school kid with size and some speed. He needs to get in the system and learn. None of us know when he will be able to play. The 3 who are redshirting are learning to block and learning what routes to run. None will be used like Huff. He was last year's TAZR because of his size and athleticism. Huff's role changed when DAT came to town. He is now a slot receiver. He played well last year and put up big numbers, but he also dropped balls too. He is doing the same this year. He is just not being used as the TAZR as much. (Oh and he is still dropping balls).

Stanford on paper looks good, but let's not jump to any crazy conclusions.

[headshottzzzz]

Blackmon and Sumler would both be playing the same type of position as DAT and Josh Huff. It's safe to say that DAT is better than both of those guys. Stanford is a different kind of player though. With LT leaving next year, I'd say Stanford has a pretty decent chance of coming in for early PT.

Great pickup nonetheless. Oregon receivers have been pretty average over the years, with the exception of Jeff Maehl. Seriously, who has been the last great Oregon WR since Maehl? Demetrius Williams?

While I think he could possibly play early, that's probably only if he's a fast learner and has some serious skill to overtake players that have been in the program a year or two. If he can do that, then the more weapons CK has at his disposal.

[buckmarkduck]

Who is LT backup? Hoffman? The reason i think Stanford can play is because we don't have any depth behind LT.

[TheMaehlMan]

Awesome pickup, when Stanford is ready to play he could become the perfect compliment to the speedy guys we already have. Stanford and Lyerla as our redzone weapons of the future is pretty awesome imo.

I'm going to say DAT since Jeff was just on the team last year. If you meant besides Jeff which I'm guessing you were, then I think make a valid point.

I don't think Blackmon will be playing DAT's TZR position. He'll be a traditional WR, more like what Josh Huff is doing this year. Huff is awesome but he's been dropping so many balls and he had that injury dogging him all Fall.

Sumler, I suspect, will be used as more of deep threat WR. I don't think we have anyone right now that falls into the category.

Stanford looks like he can take over for LT... more of a TE/WR hybrid.

Next year we'll have a bunch of young guys at WR: Lyerla, French, Blackmon, Sumler, with Huff as the old man of the group (as a true junior!). They're gonna be really, really young.

KB will be the RB, with DAT as the TZR. We're gonna be young there too. Tra Carson, and maybe a true freshman backing up KB at RB. Wow. DAT will just play all over the field: WR, Slot, RB.

We'll be very talented and fast at the skill positions next year, but losing LMJ will hurt a lot. We won't have much experience at WR or RB.

Kenjon Barner doesn't equal "much experience" to you?

Not nearly as much as this season. Paulson, Tuinei, James=HUGE experience in big games. Take those guys off the field, and Barner, Huff and DAT are the only ones with legitimate experience even somewhat comparable to the first three. One of them will be a true sophomore, one a true junior and one with a similar role as LMJ. Two have fumbled in big games, one has shown concentration issues catching the football.

That's pretty much the worst case scenario, very pessemistic. But I sort of agree. It was good to see Barner lead the offensive comeback against USC, but LMJ's ability to find and shoot the smallest of holes is unparalleled to any back I've seen at UO. Barner was taking advantage of large running lanes and looked patient, but LaMichael's lateral agility in finding holes lead to a lot of his big runs. Hoping a guy like DAT can learn from that; dude would be about as close to unstoppable as you can get in college football if he learned from some of LMJ's running style in this offense

Kenjon Barner is awesome.

But he's not an every down back. Not for the whole season. No way.

We'll need lot's of depth behind him, and there isn't really much there. Who? And we'll need to rely on DAT next year like we rely on LaMike this year and last.

I'm excited to see Tra Carson's progress, and do think he will solidify our depth at running back. Can't count on Byron Marshall since he will be a Freshman, but he could factor in as well.

Didn't LMJ fumble in a pretty crucial situation against USC last week? Concentration issues...that can also apply to Tuinei who has been fairly inconsistent as well.
