Archaea All-American

were suspect. By his senior year, he had improved, but he received the dubious nickname of 50-50. Hands matter.

I have a feeling that the WR's are going to drastically exceed expectations

My prediction for receivers with most catches and yards.

Hope you are right.

Not so fast

You're right, they're gonna suck. Seasons over, folks.

I don't think that's what he said.

SuperTank

Obviously not.

None of these receivers played against Michigan

cougarmanguy

7/10/17 6:36am

Exactly. Utah was never an issue of our WRs being able to get open

I keep hearing Taysom during Michagan game. He didn'

play because he was injured for the sesaon

Mmm completely different offensive staff

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 10:44am

I am hoping the improved talent at TE

Bushman looked like a hero in the spring game.

Bluedomination

7/10/17 7:54am

Agree. TE threat is a key.

Way to be a Debbie downer chuck!

Holy Driver

What does overhyped supposed to mean?

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 9:03am

I'm less concerned about that. Anae didn't focus on having receivers practice in press, but he's gone

byuTX

7/10/17 10:35am

2017 will see tons of passes to TEs and...

Coug76

7/10/17 6:30am

Trinnaman, MLP, Shumway, Simon, Hifo, Bushman

Coop

7/10/17 8:18am

People forget that Balderee is technically still the starter at TE

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 8:32am

He can't really get up the field, so he's a viable target mainly in play-action

Coop

7/10/17 8:42am

Who do you see as the main targets at RB?

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 8:48am

I don't think any of them individually will catch enough passes for it to matter

Coop

7/10/17 9:05am

Hall did this a lot late last year, while this was against inferior teams, I

here's to hoping

7/10/17 9:31am

Balderee may get the majority of the snaps, but he will have fewer receptions

Gorum the Old

7/10/17 8:58am

Well we should see some passes across the middle again which will be refreshing

crm48

7/10/17 7:45am

In addition to the TEs, I hope our RBs have a significant chunk of pass yardage.

Bluedomination

7/10/17 7:50am

I keep seeing claims they are fast. I hope they are! Do we have anything to back

Coop

7/10/17 8:23am

Well we saw plenty of examples last year that trinnaman is fast

viper

7/10/17 8:24am

Simon, Trinnaman, and Tanner are all supposed to be sub 4.4 guys

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 8:45am

Also, an example of putting in work

I asked Simon what he ran in the 40

Denesheo

7/11/17 12:57am

4.44 to be exact. Think Amari Cooper

Denesheo

7/11/17 1:01am

Considering that most have very low expectations of the WR's...

Coug

7/10/17 8:23am

I think expectations are pretty high on the board.

Y'zFan

7/10/17 8:35am

Being good against "our team" is a good thing yo

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 8:38am

Sounds great. We'll see.

Y'zFan

7/10/17 9:06am

Then "Expectations" bust be pretty low.

Gorum the Old

7/10/17 8:53am

Fans on here hate on the WRs all the time

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 8:54am

Do you really think that BYU's receivers will be "Great" this year?

Gorum the Old

7/10/17 10:12am

You make good points. There are a lot of unknowns

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 10:42am

Davis and Simon played against Wagner in 2015

Denesheo

7/11/17 12:54am

On paper and coming out of the hype machine they look intriguing and talented

BlueForLife

7/10/17 10:11am

I wouldn't count out Talon Shumway. Big, strong, quick, explosive kid.

tebowned

7/10/17 10:36am

It's funny you say that his biggest knock is his hands

BrutustheBrash

7/10/17 10:46am

I've seen him drop some easy, easy balls at a higher than normal rate.

Speed overrated. Give me skill and technique fist.

Gorum the Old

7/10/17 10:29am

One needs body control, hands, know how to run routes appropriately and

Archaea

It won't be difficult as I lack any expectations;
