he only had 10 catches this past season. Not much to judge off of but it’s a step in the right direction
We need game changers in addition to solid possession types to win champs. If the best WR we have is a solid possession type (which is all Whittemore will ever be), then we aren't winning champs. Esp with our run game.
Wittermore made some outstanding catches this last year. Remarkable! I see him in the same mold as Doering from years ago.
I think we may take some lumps early but ultimately I think in the long run we'd be better off letting our young talented guys play and compete for snaps. Marshall may start day 1.
That's how I see it and that's how it should be done. NOBODY'S spot should be safe at ANY position on this team if we're being honest. Yes we "know" Elam, Carter, RG are locks as starters, but noone else should feel safe about their spot. That breads competition and guys will be afraid to slack if they're being SHOWN that a young guy will get their spot if they aren't playing up to par.
Didn't we have plenty of speed? Grimes, Copeland, toney , Henderson, and probably the fastest TE in the nation.
