I'm confident that Fisch will be able to come up with a variety of different ways to get Benjamin the ball in space, where we all know how dangerous he is! I also think that Byrd will be a target and safety valve for JH.

I know this opinion may be unpopular but I don't think Benjamin is all that dangerous in space. I've been watching Benjamin for a long time now and I've seen him outrun countless defenders but I haven't seen him evade many defenders. For instance on punt returns the guy has been almost invisible. As a WR all of his big plays seem to come when he gets behind a DB when running his route. Am I alone on that one?

Ed I see where you're coming from but IMO I don't think there were enough bubble screens and underneath routes thrown in his direction for one reason or another. The one play that stands out to me was the short out he caught against UVA last year where he spun and with a little help from Richard Gordon scored. The 3:12 mark of this video:

The kids seperation speed to me is rediculous. I'd just like to see him fed more of the short underneath stuff in space. (That also is going to require the QB to get him the ball quickly in those spaces...lob passes aren't going to cut it in those situations) I expect a big year from TB3 in Fisch's offense.

I expect to see Benji and Byrd to do well... And I think they will improve on there production this year... They have improved each year, but I feel this year they will make some noise... I think we will all witness the emergence of Hurns... But I'm going with a surprise here... I know AJ is low on the depth chart but he will make some noise... I think he will do well... Vette said they will go with some no huddle and spread... So I think we will pass more than we think but be more efficient as well... I also hope Davon Johnson does well... I'm looking for big things concerning his improvement as well as Thompkins...
