WR Outlook 2014

I wanted to start a post and get everyone thinking what will/could happen as we go deeper into the year. We all saw what happened this weekend with the drops from some vet players and then some amazing catches by freshmen.

Isaiah Ford- Love this kid, he really knows how to run a route and isn't afraid to take a hit. Hands might be one of the best on the teams. I expect him to continue to develop into a huge role for Lefty and the offense. He seems to be an all around good WR- can go deep, across the middle. I think his best area is the deep outs/post routes.

Willie Byrn- He has great effort/heart. Always seems to be there when needed/check down. He could be our Danny Amendola... he is far from Welker but if one of the freshmen gets going he really could be "danny coale" WIDE OPEN all the time

Cam Phillips- OMG that double move he put on the ECU db made me cream my pants. I can't think of the last WR we had that could shift his hips that fast and be that wide open for a score. This is the sleeper pick for me, he has all the potential in the world but we have seen a little sample size. However if Stanford/Byrn keep the drops up we could see Phillips more often

Josh Stanford- The kid can get open and he has some wheels. A good route runner and still needs to locate the ball with his hands not chest. Its easier said than done but I think if he did that he could become a great underneath threat for us.

Demitri Knowles- Something just isn't right with him, last year he had some good games but then it started to go downhill. I am sure being injured all spring/summer didn't help him but then we had 2 freshmen come in and play very well. I could see him maybe being a wr4/5 when we really need to spread the ball out. Outlook isn't so hot right now but who knows we still have the ACC schedule to go and he could have a good game or two.

Who is everyone's darkhorse<--(not a racial comment) and leader for the WR this year. Estimated TD's for Ford, Phillips, Byrn, and Stanford?? Do we have 1 WR that becomes a big mismatch? Yes we have Bucky but look what ECU did they shut him down for sure so we need another go to.

Tweedy can run like a dadgum antelope or whatever. I like to use scalded dog. Do antelopes lumber? Cheetah, OK. He runs like a cheetah. He's fast. - Bud Foster
