Martavis Bryant
Aug 2, 2012, 1:46 AM
|
|
Only hauled in 9 balls last season, but with a year under his belt, he now knows the ins and outs of the scheme and has added muscle to his already imposing frame. His blend of size and speed makes him an absolute nightmare for opposing DCs, especially when he's alongside the likes of Sammy, Nuk, and B-Ford. He'll be devouring inexperienced, rattled 3rd CBs like Skittles. NFL scouts will be drooling. Future 1st-round potential, no doubt.
He and Breeland are really going to emerge this year. I'm amped about Peake, as well.
I can already smell the fresh cut grass and hear the pads a poppin'... feels good, man.

Bryant has the size speed and ability to be a great reciever, with only nine receptions he had 221 yards and two td's. Breeland will become one of the best DB's in the conference by his jr. year he had that amazing 1 hand INT that really gave us the break we needed in the.

That while he has all the talent to be the best on the team, with his frame, hands, and speed. I've also heard that he is lazy and does not meet expectations as far as training and getting it in. I don't believe he will play much the first game.

This biggest issues that held him back last year were inexperience and fully grasping the offense and the playbook.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this kids attitude, deasire or work ethic.

definitely was laying down a gauntlet for him, in all honesty he's known as not having the best work ethic, so maybe the light will turn on for him like it did for David Thomas and Josh Watson.

In no-way am I trying to be negative in any way
IF the OL can step up and play as a unit and grade out around 85%
IF TB can just relax and have fun, do like KR (Gambler) said know when to hold them, know when to fold, know when to run
This could to an explosive year on O

Gonna be a lot of back shoulder throws this year. Saw a little of it last year but with everyone worried about getting beat deep, we are just going to hit that 12 yard back shoulder and get first down after first down. Really excited about that.

I watched him in HS. He was lazy off the ball when it wasnt being thrown his way. That was proven on the field and what he was known for. The classroom as well And then from guys I am friends with at Clemson say that it hadnt changed much.

That makes you say negative things about a Tiger Football player. I just don't understand it. I'm guessing you have been deprived of love as a child.

So the truth comes out!!! You lied earlier and now YOU are the one that has the problem with him!!!!
Let me guess: You rode the bench while he played and won all kinds of awards.
He took your girlfriend then gave her back!!!
He made better grades!!!!!

I'm ignoring the bad things said about this guy. He is a threat every time he's on the field. Watching some of his fantastic catches, I know this guy can be a first-round pick someday. If our OLine can allow Boyd time to throw the ball, this guy is going to rack up some serious stats this year. I can't imagine any D trying to cover the numerous threats we have at WR. DC's are going to have some sleepless nights.
Which begs the question: What would you do if you were the DC of any of our opponents to try and defend against all of these guys?

You blitz like crazy to get to Tajh
Aug 2, 2012, 10:16 AM

or yoou drop eight and try to confuse him, though that leaves then vulnerable to the running game. When you can't stop the WR stop the QB that throws to them.

I really think defenses will have to be very good at disguising their coverages.

I agree. But it seems that what DRobins said is exactly how teams beat us. They either blitzed, or dropped 8 in coverage.
We had no answer for it in several games. I want to see more screens, a more sophisticated running game and Tajh's improvement in the zone read.
Tajh MUST be a running threat for this offense to work. Morris was trying to force it last year by calling QB runs, instead of letting Tajh make the read. I'm assuming because Tajh would often give instead of pulling, and would often pull instead of giving.
I think if anyone can look at the game tape and diagnose our problems and fix them, it's Chad Morris. Excited for the season.

I fully expect Sammy to have a sophomore slump, mainly
Aug 2, 2012, 9:49 AM
|

because he will get so much attn from defenses.
Nuke will tear people up this yr, and Martavious is going to be as much of a deep threat as Sammy.
Sammy will have to play a lot of decoy, I'm afraid.

Aug 2, 2012, 10:17 AM
|

teams won't have the option of doubling Sammy because of those very reasons that you stated. Nuk, Peake, Bryant, Hopper, etc are too dangerous to leave one on one. They'll most likely blitz all the time to get to Tajh or drop eight and try to blanket most of them

Bryant Hopper and Peake havent proved anything. They have 16 receptions between them (I think).

I'm not saying he isn't a good football player. I just know that he doesn't work as hard as the others and it will show. And you guys do have a good set of receivers over here. And they'll have a lot of production if the O can run like the Clem of 8-0

And neither do I.
His potential and talent got him his 4 star ranking, not his work ethic. He's was/lazy. I can only go on what he used to be like, and his production this past year.

Lol what are you even talking about? I said he was lazy, not that I didn't like the guy. He's a football player not a criminal. You're prob some fat@ss that had personal experiences with all of those things and are all too familiar with them.
