A-
Ewers isn't as good as advertised....... yet. But it looks like he will be. His arm strength is easily identifiable. The kid can throw it. He had some jitters early-- freshman jitters-- and that's 100% ok. He had some deep overthrows-- again-- freshman butthole puckering happens. But if any of you saw it, he completed a 15 yard out that he threw better than anyone I've seen in burnt orange-- Chris Simms included. He let that fvcking ball go with MINIMAL effort and that leather bullet had a contrail on it.
That's what you HAVE to have to run this offense. And after years of watching wounded ducks and skip passes and fluttering quails on out routes, we've got a guy that doesn't even have to STAND ON IT, and effortlessly throws the deep out with as much arc as a 12 inch ruler.
We have a QB.
Our backfield is as loaded as it has been in a dozen years. Bijan is legit. He's a little better version of Jamaal Charles. He's a pure slasher. He doesn't have Cedricks center of gravity or Ricky's pure power, but he can stick his foot in the ground and cut on a dime and leave you a Krugerrand in change. The kid has scoots and shakes and balance-- if we get him the rock in the open field, watch out. We need to avoid pounding him down. He isn't built for 25 times a game between the tackles. He's an Indy car. Not a dune buggy.
Our Oline is young. Real young. Terribly young. ULM isn't very good but their twists and zone blitz fooled us a time or two. Bama will see this and dial that up on the reg. Only they won't be sending a 215 pound LB that runs a 4.7. Nope. It'll be a 260 pound LB screaming at 4.5 with the intent of sending someone to the morgue.
Give these kids a couple more years and you might end up with a line like Georgia one day. But they need to grow up-- most Ricky-tick.
We've got speed on the edge-- but I need to see more before I can get a feel.
Defense-- the jury is still out.
We are going to get a REALLY good look at who we are in 6 days.
