Now that we have Morgan, Reed, Robinson, and Henry (seems to be both in the WR and TE discussion due to getting so many touches in the passing game) as our main threats, how much will we look to go to these guys and to what degree? Here's how I see it happening based on what's gone on and what's going to be needed to keep the momentum going:
- Morgan: He's officially a stud. Kid can catch, get separation, and keep drives alive. He's barely dropped anything that's hit him right and we need him to keep the production going. Which leads to...
- Reed: Man, he's got some speed. We knew that. But can he do more than what he did last night? Maybe he's not the #1 on some plays but maybe he should be. As we "show" more this year, maybe he can play a bigger role. He needs to so they don't key on Morgan.
- Robinson: Maybe he gets used more in space and gets active more. He and Reed have the speed to break it out and get down the field. A nice compliment to Morgan. They both have much better speed but maybe they don't get open as well?
- Henry: He is an amazing mis-match which makes him more versatile. But if teams key on him and Morgan, Reed and Robinson have to step up.
The Alabama's and others are going to pick up on this and pressure our best with their best. While the running game can and still will be big for us, it's not as good unless these guys can perform and keep performing at a higher level.
Lastly, can RW and AC catch the ball well out of the backfield, consistently? I would personally love to see some wheel routes for them to see if they can make some yards in space.
