LSU game wasn't a one off. Duvernay plays physical. He's angry when he gets the ball in his hands. He reminds me of SSS. I'm looking at him to be a chain mover, and be used in the screen game especially early in his career. It's exciting to get a young receiver like this because in the past, we got guys like Q and SSS late in their careers. They were still effective, but getting these guys young is much more exciting.
Defenses aren't gonna know how to prepare for this offense. It's pretty much gonna be, pick your poison. Eight men in the box, Lamar is gonna hit Hollywood, Andrews or another receiver for yardage. Don't crowd the box, Lamar is gonna get the RPO game going and either him or (Ingram, Dobbins or Gus) are gonna gash you. Not sure how Justice Hill fits in outside of a 3rd down role, but I gotta think he'll be used somewhere.
I'd like to see Lamar get better at calling audibles this season. He talked about watching film with his receivers this off-season in his presser to make sure everybody is on the same page. If that's the case and the virus hasn't put a huge dent in that plan, they're already taking steps in the right direction. Once they put it in practice/rep it and perfect it
Also, I'm liking this Tyre Phillips kid. He's got the right mindset to be successful early on. I know Marshall left a big hole in the o-line, but I hope between Powers, Phillips and Bredeson, one of them is able to come in and play at a very high level. Still curious to see who takes over at center if Skura isn't ready or gets released.
I like the way Decosta double drated too. We've seen them do this before a couple times, but not with damn near every position drafted. They have kinda hedged their bets and increased their chances of getting a contributer. If both contribute,
