Well yes those guys were special in their own regard, but I am thinking JG is going to have the necessary tools to make this offense with productive. A lot of it is going to fall on him.

Gus is very important part in this. Will he be able to evaluate, before the 4th game, which QB is the gamer? Will he be able to see the chemistry between QB, RB and WR in a timely fashion? The wild card is Dilly. He, potentially, could be a very important part of the puzzle. A reason for optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how much a 4th-year, all-SEC/Rimington-caliber center with extra nasty could help out this offense and whichever rookie QB we ride with.

I love me some Baker Mayfield, and I believe the dynamics between Gus and his offensive coordinator will work best with Bo. Now mind you, Baker came into college being somewhat underrated yet special. I think there are things in Bo's game that are either instinctual or already been taught to him at a younger age. Things that we do not need to see being taught by Gus. Those same parallels made Baker great and were things I did not see in Stidham or SW when they arrived here. Obviously, those same things were not better when they left. A little secret... I hope I'm wrong too my brother! I'm only going by the experience of the last few years but I would LOVE for Gus to feed me a large portion of crow 😁. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare our skill positions to the 2010, 2013 or 2014 groups and you'll see not only most of what we had then but also a few extra pieces that we didn't. Only things we're missing is a Cam or a Nick and a Ryan or a Reese. Or a Prosch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Shenker could be the Cox, Prosch back this year. He brings the receiving threat as well. He’s the closest thing to a TE Gus has had in a while as well. I don’t know how Fromm or Deal will do eventually do but I haven’t heard withers name since signing day. You could see Joey/Bo, whichever RB, Sheneker backfield with Schwartz on the inside and Williams and Hill on the outside. I wouldn’t want to defend that.

AURex 1,992 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm waiting. I'm hoping. But just waiting. Maybe an OL will show up. I'm Waitin' Maybe a QB will break out. I'm Waitin' Maybe a RB will break out. I'm waitin' Maybe CGM will find a brain. I'm Waitin' Maybe, maybe, maybe. At this point, it's all just fantasy.

Good hands, too. I'll obviously not make any serious or even semi-serious comparisons to Mike Alstott, but I wouldn't be mad if Shenker tried to envision himself as that style of player. At least on the pass-catching and blocking side of things. Can't imagine he'll get many carries at all. Maybe a more reasonable way to say it is a more Prosch-y Chandler Cox and a more Cox-y Jay Prosch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm a fan of Shenker as well. I think and hope he is a combination of TE, HB, FB that we haven't had in a long time. Can't remember our last player with his skill set.. We've had many that were better in one area but not all three. JSS may not have RB talent like some but AU offense doesn't use our guy that way. WR skills however is a plus a la Canella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
