Is Billy Napier a Good Play Caller?

Yeah, hopefully because we have so many good options, at least two will step up and have good years. I’m pretty confident that sturdivant will. Also, I think Dallas will be all freshman SEC. If either EW III or VB III hits it we will be good.

 

Don't leave out Hansen. He is a big TE at 6'7 and could be an important check valve for DJ.

 

I said often, not always, but yes it's a combination of both plus getting athletes in space. A great athlete can deke out a defender who knows the play, or even run over or through him. Hopefully Lagway stays healthy enough that we can see him channel his inner Tebow from time to time. He definitely has the size.

 

Good point. I recall watching Ohio State and of course their QB had solid protection, but also that guys were cutting across the field and coming open- nice long routes that seemed like easy throws, nothing magic. I hope we see what appears to be a more open minded Napier that realized there are better ways to get the ball downfield. But FTR, I'm more hoping Callaway is a great OC and he was given the green light to adjust some things and then call the plays. I would feel deceived if this year's is last year's with the only difference being the guy named OC was employed only to make sure the offense was sharper running the same playbook.
