I think what Lou may take awhile experimenting to settle on some players and schemes. I think this team on third down defense is going to be tough. The offense is going to be more versatile with Hayden Hurst and just the better OL play will allow Taylor to open it up easier. I’ve been spouting Mixon for a huge season. I see a lot of 11 personnel shifting to 0 personnel on third and short yardage. Third and 3 was a tough down now I think that if they start having success running and teams start committing to stop it they can shift to 0 personnel and throw a WR screen to Chase on one side or the other side to Mixon. Try defending that. With Hurst in the slot they’d also have to deal with that.
Nice thread Soonerpeace. I think versatility is the word for what they are building no question. Ossai and Dax Hill in particular
are extremely versatile on the Defensive side of the ball. Joseph Ossai can play End, DT and LB. Daxton Hill can play all the
Secondary positions and maybe even a little WILL Linebacker.
Cam Taylor Britt could push Apple out of the starting outside Corner position as a rookie. That is how good he could be, he
just really needs to work on not gambling so much and he needs to watch for the double moves. This could keep him from
starting early on. All 3 of these guys are turnover machines.
Cordell Volson is also very versatile on the OL. Really love this pick and it pushes Carman big time.
Our WR's can all line up all over the place. #1 Corners won't be able to just follow Chase. Hurst adds the crisp route runner
with quickness we have been needing at TE. The coaches want to really confuse opposing teams. Be as unpredictable as
possible. Chris Evans also is a threat as a Receiver, could have a breakout year.
