MyBloodIsRed16 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 On thread topic but off topic from what everyone is talking about right now. Ozigbo is underrated as a receiving threat. BTN has aired the Purdue game and the NW game right now. He made some pretty nice grabs and some nifty moves. He looked kinda slow but he made the plays. If he has gained a step this year like some have suggested I think everyone will be happy with his play this year Quote Link to comment

He may have gained a step but you don't go from "kinda slow" to track speed like Bell and Washington by gaining a step. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't know if he's better than Washington or Bell, but I am sure it's an aspect that Frost and Held like about Oz. Quote Link to comment

Dansker Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I might be in the minority here but, I think Mazour is a real dark horse. He's one of those guys that could surprise people. I hope he sees the field one way or another. He had that beautiful 43 yard TD run in the spring game. 1 Quote Link to comment

Frost leans on the side of speed so he wants guys who can take it to the house on any given play. Speed can't be coached which is an area Ozigbo is behind on but here's the thing, physicality can be taught with speedy guys like Bell and Washington. That could be a deadly combo.

NUance Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 4 hours ago, ScottyIce said: Quote That would leave us with Wilbon, Bell, Bradley and Washington getting the bulk of the snaps with plenty of handoffs going to Spielman and Miles Jones as well. Should be very interesting to see how this all shakes outs. It feels like we have multiple options for multiple roles. Will be interesting if Mazour finds a niche or if Ben Miles finds a role. They have already said they will not be using a true Fullback. 4 hours ago, ScottyIce said: Looks like he found one... The niche, yes! The role? No. (Unless Ben Miles found a role at Texas A&M.)

Several linebackers have failed to surpass Weinmaster to the point of leaving the team. Frost's offense uses more two tights than people realize. Mazour being on scholarship is intriguing. A lot of us have liked the glimpses of him we've seen. Apparently the staff does, too. Excited to see what this means. Member the days when being beat out by a walkon made a guy work that much harder? I do. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 With Tre hanging up the spikes, I am very interested and excited to see what Bell, Wash and Miles Jones can do. I know what Oz can do, and some of it is good. Just not as eager to see him get the bulk reps of the first two backs. 1 Quote Link to comment

I could see any of these three guys lining up in Duck R spot too. Perhaps we see the diamond formation again like we did with Taylor Martinez, Rex Burkhead, and Roy Helu. It's going to be refreshing to see playmakers on the field. A lot of new faces but I think they're more than capable. They have an awesome staff to develop them throughout this season and beyond.

I think all the backs will come in handy. He needs to show more consistency this year if he wants more carries. His career thus far it seems he can't find a rhythm. I am attributing that to poor coaching. He may be one who benefits from this new staff. Quote Link to comment
