I keep hearing about him, anybody know why? Is he making plays? Which O is he working with. It'd be nice to have a tall guy out there to go get those fades and deep crosses.

From what I hear he is finally stepping up. Just has to improve route running and consistency. We need him to be a 30-40 catch guy this year.

Yes, he is making plays. He has impressed all the coaches. Coach Wilson called him a pleasant surprise and some that have watched practice have said that the coaches were questioning why he didn't see the field more last year. He has the length that Kiffin covets and I think he will see the field often this year.

He has always been good with the ball in the air but had trouble in the past getting off the line. He has added upper body strength and appears to have eliminated that problem for the most part. He will see a lot of PT and possibly be a starter.

I think the difference is Kiffin's offense values diversity among its WR while Fulmer's was more about who he was more comfortable having out there unless you were hands down better than everyone else.

If Kiffin had a guy like Chris Hannon; Hannon's numbers would have been big time. Under Fulmer he was designated to 3-4 WR on depth chart despite how big a mismatch he was. Tons of potential that Fulmer never tapped.

In a pefect world Kiffin would like a 6"6 physical WR on one end, 6"2/6"3 total package guy on the other side, and and 5"9-6"1 playmaker in the slot.

Nice quote !
you hit it right on, especially when describing the WR's that kiffin likes !

Hancock has impressed the coaches with his playmaking ability the day he got up here. I remember when he was a Freshman he turned heads. He didn't have the strength though.. Now he's added weight, and hopefully he has a great senior year. He really does have some NFL potential with his size, athleticism, and coordination, and overall ability.
He needs to stay mentally strong and emerge as a leader.
I hope he breaks out like Meachem did his red-junior year :)

Hummmm...with Hancock's length and the enhanced pocket presents of our QB this will be interesing to watch.

Wasn't Hancock the breakout player last spring? If he does have a breakout year, it just furthers the question of what the hell Clawsen was trying to do.

I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd spring in a row he's had high marks.

We need him to be more than a spring player. There have been several over the years who looked all world in the spring but never made it happen in the fall. QH needs to take it to the next level come August.

I never played WR so please forgive the ignorance of my question. Just WTH is so difficult about route running that it seems to take WR's so much time to perfect it? I mean honestly, if you know the play and you know the route you're supposed to run ON that play, what's so hard about just.....doing it? It doesn't seem like rocket science to me. Please help me understand this concept.

I hear comments all the time like "wide receiver-A is much faster than wide receiver-B. However wide receiver-B is a much better route runner than wide receiver-A." I'm thinking, if wide receiver-A is not a good route runner, then he either doesn't know the plays or he simply chooses to be insubordinate to that play and do his own thing. Either way, WTH is he doing on the field in the first place?

i've wondered that too. i think it has to do with making precise cuts and being on time with the qb.

Just think about this. If you can't get open by creating separation, the QB can't get you the ball. It doesn't matter how fast you are. That is why you have routes, to get open and to be on the same page

True, but is route running and qb/wr timing the same thing? I can understand the importance of timing between qb and wr and why that would take a while to perfect. From my understanding, a lot of offensive schemes now cause the qb to throw to an area rather than to a wr, and it's up the wr to be there to catch the ball.

So again, to me it all goes back to the wr knowing the play and knowing the route he is supposed to run.
