Reality check on 2019

Posted: 11/26/2018 12:39:46 PM

How are we going to replace the offense generated by AJ, Malik, Andrew Meyer, and Papi? Feels like we could take a significant step backward in 2019.

I'd add Lowery, Anderson, & Wood to that list.

I think the young talent is there at WR, but jury is still out on RB & OL for sure.

I start my concern with Anderson, Lowery and Wood. If you watch the GT counter play that they ran on Saturday their feet will be missed. I have concern on replacing them. I�m intrigued by Cox and Buckner at the skill spots. The Bowl practices are so crucial to help this roster long term.

RB more so than OL.

We have one 3 star verbal....we need another or a JUCO.

The OL will miss the two Joe's and Wood, but Pleasants, Hayes, Kitrell all started and played major snaps this season and Meservy started as a true frosh in 2017. The OL may not be as experienced as the 2018 group, but the cupboard isn't bare. At RB Ross returns with frosh Allison and Neatherton will get some carries. They aren't AJ or Irons yet, but possibly in time one or two of those backs will become a 1000 yard rusher? Maybe a player in the upcoming recruiting class can help them some?

It's college football, you're going to have sizable turnover in starters every year on average. Yes it will be challenging to replace those skill position players but there is a lot returning to like.

Definitely looking forward to watching Cox and Buckner. They were not the starters, but took advantage of every opportunity when they were on the field. Maybe we�ll get to see more of them, along with Odom and see what they can really do. S/N I really hate to see Papi go, but hope the NFL gives him a well deserved shot

Agree we need another RB. Maybe JUCO.

My JUCO/gradtrans wish would be for another Kieth Heitzman type TE.
