kptvol, Taylor just needs to do it or get out of the way.

The Vols tried to work him in last year even with the trio they had. He didn't produce.

You act as if Taylor is some antagonist to our team. He's not getting in the way of anything. If other receivers turn out to be better, they'll get PT and he won't.

nope. Just kind of frustrated that he looks like he has the tools but isn't using them for some reason. A little less so than Shelley but still frustrating considering the need @ WR.

Again, he got probably better chances than any WR after the first three last year and didn't produce... and I can't understand why.

Austin Rogers was fourth on the depth chart, and he got the opportunity to fill in for Bret Smith when he missed a game. After Rogers went out, Taylor stepped in and did alright. I don't really see where he had any problems. Ainge probably wasn't looking his way as much when Meachem and Swain are on the field. I do remember one pass in the Air Force game that Ainge underthrew. Taylor caught it, but he had to slow down and wasn't able to get the sure TD it looked like he had.

Rogers IMO has a better chance to start than Taylor. Like you said he was 4th on the depth chart. It's a shame he had mono last season. Taylor is what he is, an undersized guy that plays hard. However, with Hancock stepping up and O'Neal coming in it looks bleak for Taylor.

I don't want to start on Shelley.

I think Taylor has some skills that those other guys don't have. He might not be the best receiver, but I think the coaches want to find ways to get him the ball.

I've never thought that Taylor was a true receiver. In his case, it's just seems like they're trying to make him one hoping he'll catch some short passes and turn it into something. He could I guess, but we're all still waiting.

According to this artice (see below link), Hancock would be the #3 receiver. But Trooper doesn't say who is #1 and #2.

I can guarantee that Kenny O'Neal starts the Cal game, and probably the other 11-13 games.

Quintin Hancock has been the best spring receiver we have, so Hancock and O'Neal will be the X and Y on September 1st.

Lucas Taylor, Josh Briscoe, and Austin Rogers all have a leg up in experience, but are firmly behind Gerald Jones and Brent Vinson in athletic ability.

Slick Shelley, who I once had high hopes for, looks to be 8th on the depth chart.
