That's probably the best group collectively in the MAC to get the ball to in space. Yes Archer might be the best for that and Toledo has some weapons, but we have very versatile guys and great scheme. If we can just work in some Eakes on swing plays and throw it downfield to Canada and Sebastiano. Anyone think Mitchell, Holder, or Turner don't get redshirted and become solid weapons
Would like to see the big fella get it into the end zone this year. He was close a few times last season. Kind of fun watching him rumble down the field. I think he will be a big part of the offense.

As much as you hate to burn eligibility, I would play anyone that can contribute significantly. The future is now as they say for this team.

RE: Orlando Sentinel has NIU at #59
I'm posting this here since we were talking about the WRs.
Just for kicks I watched the Huskies 2012 highlight video on youtube this morning. A few things I noticed...
-Da'ron Brown was open deep on a few plays where Lynch automatically went to Moore
-TLL was a beast, because of him I'm not worried about our WRs
-Very few Ashford highlights, I know he was injured and I understand how good he was, but they succeeded without him too
I think the best thing Lynch can do this off-season is learn to look down field and hit the open man. He likes to decide who he is going to throw it to and then do it no matter what. If he doesn't leave guys open on the long pass to hit the 10 yard pass, this offense will be a nightmare.

That's why I cringe a little when people take one person's contribution and go, there is 50% of your offense. It doesn't necessarily work on a 1 to 1 exchange rate. I think you make a great point in that Brown's numbers could have been much heftier if he were a target more often.
