C’mon you all can’t tell me that Blake isn’t on your lists.

My opinion (and just my opinon) is the receivers we have don't fit the system Bell is trying to run.  

Mcdoom is barely 6'0-Slot Receiver

Miller 5'10-Slot receiver

Ford-5'5'-slot receiver

Horne-5'7" slot receiver

These guys could be good if we get the ball to them in space or while they are in motion.  Unless they get big separation even they have a step on the defenders downfield they don't have the size to go up and get the ball or to battle on the 50-50 balls.  Our receivers' skill set calls for the ball to be delivered on short quick throws and let them do their thing with the balls in their hand.  So far, seems like a lot of our throws have been downfield and it is tough for them win the majority of those contests unless they are wide open.

We have a couple of bigger guys on the roster, but for whatever reason haven't seen the field that much.

I guess that goes without saying as it's just assumed.

Maybe...I thought I was looking at the receivers Valdosta State had awhile ago and they were mostly small receivers also.

Went back and watched the game and the announcer was saying he needs to get better at blocking.

We've ran for 556 yards the past two games. I'm thinking his blocking may be fine. I have noticed they use Mathis more, and in many cases they're on the field together.

I like Wilcox. He’s definitely a key player on this team.

But if he ever sees the field on an NFL team (not preseason) I’ll be incredibly surprised.

I don’t know why everyone here acted like he’s the second coming of Gronk.

Even his “decision” to come back seemed over the top.

 

^ That being said, he’s still severely underused.

John Waller is my biggest disappointment. They need 2 give him a chance.

Horne was at the top of my list. I was thinking he'd be the next Rodney Adams for us, but not there. Ford wouldn't be on anyone's list if he got on the field more, but that's all on him.

I'd like to see more Sands & Wilcox.
