Really like this group... a ton of talent. An embarrasment of riches really. Hopefully we utilize it even better in 2013. Thanks for the write up.

I would trade Marlowe for JW and Moore any day. What is the word on Taariq Allens progress? I know hes not going to be back for the spring, but is he expected to be ready to go in the summer or fall?

Loads of talent in this group. I'm betting Bell breaks the 1000 yd receiving mark this year...

Agree. Beck has to distribute the passes effectively, when the situation warrants it of course. It also is on Martinez to be accurate with his throws and the OL giving him time to make those throws.

Is this the most talented WR core we have ever had?? I can't think of one better. 2007 was pretty talented. I think this is better. Stats below.
RECEIVING GP-GS No. Yds Avg TD Long Avg/G
Purify, Maurice 11-4 57 814 14.3 9 60 74.0
Swift, Nate 12-8 36 520 14.4 3 35 43.3
Nunn, Terrence 12-10 35 452 12.9 1 30 37.7
Peterson, Todd 12-2 18 359 19.9 5 44 29.9

I think our Oline will be much better at pass blocking this year. Because of the people we will have on it (real excited about the JUCO's we are bringing in) and the coaching changes.
If Taylor can improve his passing half as much this offseason as he did last, we should see a much better passing game.

none of those guys were NFL caliber... I think we have about two or three guys that are right now. This is one of the best units I ever remember being here.

I agree. IMO the closest group to this years. None of these guys played any meaningful time in the NFL. Pretty telling that we have a thin history of wideouts. Makes it even more impressive what Fischer has been able to do with bringing in the kind of talent we have now.
