Keep going back and forth, after watching the G&W game, and some highlights from last year:
-Lippett was a difference-making star. He flat dominated at times.
-Langford was also a star--even better than he was given credit for. Great combo of speed, toughness and patience--devastating in the 2nd half, the guy NEVER seemed to wear down.
**Add in the experience 5th year seniors bring, and it's no small deal.
HOWEVER: We should have an outstanding: QB, OL, TEs. QB & OL is what matters most, and where it starts, obviously.
At WR: Burbridge? Flashes, but not consistent, and now injured. Kings? Talent is there, can he get out of the doghouse? Is Madaris ready? Is Arnett going to turn the corner? Troup looks like a guy, but not a big play strike player. More questions than answers, and even if the answers are positive, it's going to be by committee--probably not a Lippett like STAR/difference-maker. Maybe that's ok--Cook locked on Lippett at times.
At RB: Holmes and London looked decent. Liked how hard Holmes ran, stayed on his feet and churned extra yards. Seems like Scott has a golden opportunity, and frosh can make an impact at that spot.
*Still, part of me believes that the O might take a step back in explosiveness and points this year, even with that tremendous offensive line. Don't know if there is enough star power at WR. I think RB will be ok, b/c of the OL...
Thoughts?
