WR Ray Small (official thread)

All these looks Small is getting in the "Ray-gun" sets (3-4 WRs spread, Ray in the shot-ginn) makes me wonder if #4 is going to be involved in the scUM game trickery this year. It's like having two Ted Ginn's on the field! If Michigan fans want to talk about cheating...

I love that Ray is getting playing time and the opportunity to make plays. Hopefully, over the next few weeks, he'll have even more passes thrown his way. Just another weapon for scUM to be concerned about.

I also noticed that Albert Dukes got some playing time and made a nice block on one of Pitts touchdowns. Its little things like that, i.e. blocking, that will get him more opps as well.

Dukes was also out there to block on an early drive vs Texas...

Indeed, he has tremendous talent for our 2nd/3rd WR of the bench.

Gotta say, he reminds me a good bit of another young #4 that looked small but turned out to be a good one for us.

Take your pick of the #4s (below), they all turned out pretty good:

On the subject of Ray Small trick plays...

I watched Arkansas and Auburn last weekend. Arkansas had a nifty little play where they hid a wr behind the o-line and snuck a run to him. That play would work great with Small hiding on the left side of our O-line. He is small enough, fast enough and low enough on the depth chart to pull that play off. Even if they do see him, it's a legitmate end-around run that might work without the trickery. That is my wish play for Ray Small this year.

I can't believe that worked, that play was a joke...but hey, worth a shot at least once I guess :biggrin:

Small looks....well...small!
I'll bet he's 160. 165.
He will wear down pretty quick if he gets used too much!
Lock him to the training table and put 20 pounds of muscle on him.

He's gonna be real exciting because he is a natural WR.
He actually looks like he's more elusive than Ginn! :biggrin:

Compare to Ginn's size as a frosh:

Small side profile | Ginn side profile

Your concern for his weight is well documented, but why worry about him being used too much, Taos? He's the 5th/6th WR. Even after Teddy & Roy go pro, he'll still have to beat out Hartline for the 3rd WR spot.

I'd be more interested in 5-10 for now. He doesn't have a huge frame, and 170 should help him maintain his speed.

Agreed... Teddy has great speed and is elusive, but Small seems to have better explosion when changing directions.
