Hunter
Rogers
Patterson
Howard
Dallas
Z. Rogers (will finally be able to play to his
strength with the other freaks at
WR.)

Scout team?

Find a spot in the middle of the defense and stand there in case the freaks are not open.

It doesn't matter where you are when you've got two bricks for hands.

Quality depth is a beautiful thing. Allows coaches to let the individual develop more at their pace vs having to unnecessarily expose a player to "trial by fire".

No defensive secondary has the size to match up with us.

DR is only 8lbs more than JH? I thought he was much bigger than JH.

He is good at finding holes in the defense. He drops a lot of balls when having to create space.

JH has added a lot of muscle the last couple of years.

Nobody has even mentioned our TE group. Rivera proved that he is a pass catching TE when Bray was healthy last year. Add in Downs who progressed nicely last year & looked good in the O&W game. Oh & Cam Clear who is 6'8" 280lbs, match him up on a LB.

Our offense, if everyone is healthy, has the potential to be the most explosive offense in the SEC.

This probably isn't the best place for this, but I thought it was interesting that DR is the only one of the top 3 receivers in his class that turned out. While he's a bit of a headache sometimes, at least he produces like expected on the field, unlike Prater and Ambles. I expect if CP turns out like we all hope, teams will have to single cover DR often, and he'll have another fantastic year.

Scary.

What other teams in the country could rival our offense? Mybe Arky, though doubtful w/o Petrino. USC I guess. Not many others I can think of.

DR looked to have lost a little weight at the Spring game and in all of the practice photos. Looks leaner.

Arkansas doesn't come close to having the WR group we have the potential of having. I don't think anyone in the nation does. If they are fully healthy we have 3 legitimate 1st round WR's on our team. There isn't a defense in the nation that has enough guys to stop all of our weapons. If you double team someone you're leaving one on one coverage on somebody else. We may have the fastest RB group in the SEC, try matching a LB on them, not happening.

Chaney is going to sit back & laugh at times w/ DC's trying to figure out how to stop us.

I think Downs is going to have a really solid year. People are sleeping on him, when he could be a good TE.

No one has a better WR group, but I meant offense in general. Knile Davis is definitely a better RB than any of ours, but I don't know how our Oline matches up. USC I think would be the only offense that might rival ours.
