Truth is, he was EASILY better than Matthews at tracking down an overhead pass

& getting to the ball before the defender.

Kurtz was decent at the long stuff & wish had a QB last year that coulda gotten it to him in those situations.

Taysom just had basically zero skill at airing out a long ball. Zilch.

How good will our WR corps be this year?

The coaches are all really big on Shumway and Simon

Definetly one of the worst receiving corps we have had in a while,

It seems like we have more speed, but no big target.

I'm hoping someone surprises but I wouldn't be shocked at all to hear

Grant Jones is tall. The coaches mentioned him on media day.

Agreed. It's not that we are small. Several WRs are 6-0 and taller. Also, we

Has Grant Jones ever been used as a receiver? Stats seem to say no.

here's to hoping

7/9/17 11:29pm

He played WR in HS played LB here

I thought he meant "big" like feature target, not physically large.

Maybe, but based on the second paragraph of the OP I didn't think so

The fact that MLP wasn't deep is more on Taysom never throwing the deep ball.

here's to hoping

7/9/17 11:32pm

it wasn't that he wasn't deep, he just didn't catch what was thrown

can you remember what games these passes came to MLP? I can only remember two

Lotululei is supposed to be good. Previously committed to UCLA.

They will be just fine. Trinnamann will be a huge deep threat. All year long.

Moroni, Bushman and running backs must pick up slack!

IOW BYU gets back to how they used to be.

Better than last year

Remember how Juergens, one of our smallest receivers, caught one of our two

Matthews was great his senior year at winning jump balls.

As long as they were in front of him. Running to the ball is something he did

You're repeating a myth and perpetuating a falsehood about Mangum throwing 50/50

Also, Mathews caught the Nebraska Hail Mary at his stomach. He didn't even use his height

I've said this several times but again most cbers don't really know sports.

Please list the 50/50 balls he threw that Kurtz and Mathews bailed him out on

Just watch this highlight video

Kurtz with one and Mathews with arguably six catches on 50/50 balls. Since that

He had a knack for getting open, but just didn't have chemistry with Taysom

Wasn't Hifo the one who bobbled passes until they were intercepted in the Utah

Can't be worse than last year. Guaranteed. May have more drops but yards improve
