Will Milton establish himself as a solid #2?

thats true. i just think rogers has gotten a bad rap. im not saying he's an all-sec player by any means, but i think he can contribute solid performances as long as he can stay healthy

Yea Zach has shown more than Milton so that shud tell you about Milton if Z Rogers is better than him. I think Milton cud be good in the red zone thats it tho!

If he does not step up then this team will suffer. Size is a difference outside, that is why Da'rick and Justin are so good.(along with there ability)

What makes you think he has any shot at #2 when he has only one catch so far this season.

also, probably merge time

my thoughts exactly. why would anyone think he's going to step up to number 2. rogers, rogers, arnett, and dallas have all seen more playing time than him, and i wouldnt be surprised to see neal getting snaps at wr before him. he has to crack the lineup before being number 2 is even a thought

ZR is a nice possession receiver, has good hands. Arnett is going to be a decent WR as well.

As for MM, no. I think the coaches are pretty much right on to what he can/can't do.

Right now I think you're on the 3rd string spelling and grammar team.

Y'all need to forget Milton. Z Rogers will always be ahead of him, but I think Arnett will take his spot

I think Milton will get a shot this weekend to show what he can do.

He's the only other 4.4 40 6 foot 6 receiver we have. We have to give him a shot to see if he shows up on gameday.

p.s. I love Arnett and Zack, both. They're both gonna win some games for us in their careers.

But we need someone to replace Hunter, to help Bray and the run game out.

this approach has worked so well for al davis.
there's more to football than size and speed.

Zach's first problem is staying healthy. His second problem is consistently catching the ball. He's our most experienced wide receiver by far. That gives him a big advantage over the very inexperienced Matt Milton. Receivers usually take time. Hunter was faster than most. D. Rogers has come on very well this year, but wasn't seen a lot last year catching balls. That said, Rogers caught as many balls his true freshman year as D. Mo caught his sophomore year. Look at D. Mo's junior and senior seasons (40 and 47 catches, respectively vs. 14 as a freshman and 11 as a sophomore). Big difference.

Some guys take longer than others. I know we want them to be ready as soon as they step on campus especially with such a young team, but it's gonna take time. Guys like Hunter and Da'Rick are rare. Milton's still very new to receiver. I'm not ready to give up on him, but I'd sure like to see some progress.

Not a number 2 this year, nor next with Hunter returning, nor the year after with the studs we have coming in.. He will lucky to be a number 3 guy at any point in his career at UT truthfully. This year is his best opportunity to a be number 2 and unfortunately he is playing like a different type of number 2. Sorry, but his future is not bright at UT unless he learns how to play a TE, and can be utilized like a Jared Cook.
