The Lions' Pride

Our offense could be scary next year if we have a QB step up to the plate. You have almost everyone coming back (except Stank and McGloin) and add in players like Lewis, Golden, Lynch. We aint seen nothin' yet!! I'm really rooting for Hack to pick up the offense and start from day 1.

Needs to lay off the praise a little with free agency approaching...

I like that Lewis redshirted but with hindsight being 20/20 it probably would have been better for williams to RS and lewis play. With Kenney falling off and nobody really stepping into that slot role is would have been awesome to put geno in there. Might help in the return game too. But oh well. And as for him transferring he's one guy I don't see going anywhere. I don't think people will really leave and the ones that will are more than likely going to be marginal players. If you gave any program a "get out of jail free" card to the players, even without sanctions each team would probably lose 10 guys. After that initial wave I think the kids here are committed.

Yeah that class is pretty unlikely. None of them should really feel like they won't get playing time, whereas a kid going into his RS jr year who still hasn't seen much action will probably be getting antsy.

But what you said in general, less praise is better for selfish purposes.

At the same time...guys who are RS Jr's and aren't playing here most likely won't be playing elsewhere either. It's the guys who are playing now that would be playing elsewhere.

It's pretty crazy that next year we can say PSU has the best collection of receivers in the BIG. You can't say that too often. Robinson, BMF and Lewis. That, is scary.

Don't be fooled. He has breakaway speed

It will be really interesting next year to see the re-introduction of the long ball. I like what MM has done this year, but the long ball isn't his strong suit. There were plays left on the field this year in that area. Taking the top off the defense only makes the TE's and running game more lethal. Hopefully a strong starter at QB will emerge to take advantage of it all. Oh, and we pick up Lynch out of the backfield too.

I've seen Geno play plenty and can say he is an exceptional athlete. He is not a track guy, or somebody that is going to blow you away with his straight line speed. That said he has excellent functional speed, great body control, and good elusiveness for a player of his size. Another aspect that can't be overlooked are his hands. They are huge. I guarantee he will make catches that will have people saying did you see that? I hope Jake Waters is paying close attention to the collection of talent that is being assembled around him.

WR- ARob, BMF, Lewis, Williams
TE- Carter, James, AB
RB- ZZ, Belton Lynch.

There are excellent options at multiple positions, with a coach who understands how to deploy them. The one thing we lack is a WR who can get vertical. Hopefully that can be addressed in the near future.
