I hope so! It means they've beaten out older and more experienced guys on the roster. We need a receiver or two to challenge for all conference honors in order to achieve the team's goals this season.
How can I be eatinv my words when i say we have no experience? Has brown ever played a snap?
Ill be hopeful of Brown but considering your previous remarks dogging certain receivers, ill hold off from declaring him All Bigten.
You are absolutely right. But cant count on a season like that. Other than bates, i never saw someone so dominating. But with a weapon like Thorson, these guys could all have a special year.
I don't mean to be melodramatic, but I wonder how the flooding in Houston may affect the guys on the team who are from here. I count seven guys on the two-deep from the Houston area. It's pretty bad down here, and I'm sure they all have friends or family who have been affected.
They have every reason to be concerned about the too deep.
He probably would have started at Oregon this year, which makes me think he could start at many big ten schools. That being said, distinguishing between starter and second string for WR is kind of dumb.
Stay safe down there. Hope the rain starts to let up today.
Hope your doing ok. Just watching the news coverage is terrifying. Do you know how our friend who works for SW is? I haven't been able to get in touch with him. Is the airport open?
Have you considered the fact that he was a bit banged up during camp and has been learning a new system and how to work with a new quarterback? As Fitz said, the whole 2-deep is fluid and I have no doubt that Brown will shine with time. And as a second team receiver, he'll be getting plenty of playing time.
Thanks Willy. I think both airports are shut down. I'll email Dave and let you know if I hear anything.
He's likely second team out of respect for players that have been in the program--like earn first team on the field?
Isn't that pretty much what I said? he's starter caliber at a national powerhouse program at Oregon; he's switched schools and is second string, which as you said is fluid or as I said is dumb to differentiate between 1st and 2nd team. I think we are saying the same thing.
That's Rule #2. Rule #1 is Reward Loyalty, a la a coaching staff going into their 8th season without a change.
Why do you have to be so juv
How long before Brown is comfortable, in your opinion?
It might be Clayton Comfortable with Brown as much as Brown comfortable. Timing and route running, best ball placement.
Super surprised Brown isn't starting for us. He was likely going to be one of the top 2 receivers at Oregon, while our WR unit isn't exactly super deep. I wonder if it's a question of getting to know the playbook.
Surprised Riley Lees isn't in the two deep.
Whatever happened to Trey Klock? Started games at GTech, but I guess the schemes are so different.
I think that's unreasonable. Given that Jalen Brown was likely to be the #1 or #2 WR at Oregon. Shocked that he isn't starting for us.
I believe he will be playing most downs, along with Nagel, by the time conference play rolls around.
The only snag could be his willingness/ability to run block. I have heard no reports about this and we all know it's a big priority in this offense (one reason I think Skowronek is on the first team).
Heard from Dave. He's safe and dry, and he may even still make it up to Evanston on Saturday.
