WR Devin McCuin (Official Thread)

It wouldn’t surprise me — only because I don’t care as long as the offense is scoring like it should given the talent it has at its disposal.

My worthless opinion is that the best and most effective players should get snaps regardless of how long someone’s been in the program. If he’s better in the slot than Inniss and Henry/Parker get snaps on the outside, then so be it.

Score at any cost

How does this approach give touches to David Adolph tho?

Are we going to play 3 WR sets?

I think we’ll see a lot more rotation now that Hartline is gone. I think the one flaw Hartline had was he didn’t really play depth even when those players were JSN, Marv, Emeka, etc.

This. They didn't see the field until they met the Hartline standard and we repeatedly saw the results in the guys' second and third years. That said, there is much to be said for getting actual game experience along the way and the NIL era is going to require more rotation, even at tOSU. I also love the idea of wearing DBs the fuck out with fresh horses the whole game, even if that just means making them run deep blasts and working them. I can't imagine anyone's DB depth matching our WR depth, while our younger guys lack experience, they're all fast.

Right, and it’s a long season. There’s no need for JJ Smith to be on the field in the second half when we are up 35-0. That’ll save the legs for the room which will pay off late in the year. We nearly didn’t have either of our top WRs going down the stretch last year due to injury.
