I said I was taking a break but i lied!

Give your WR suggestions, and i'll tell you why your wrong.

The Team so far.......

QB's

Starter: Todd Reesing

2nd string: John Hadl

3rd string: Bobby Douglass

RBs

starter: Gale Sayers

2nd: Tony Sands

3rd: John Riggins

4th: John Henley

FBs

Starter:John Riggins

2nd: Brandon McAnderson

3rd: Morran Norris

Still a lot of work to do. The O-lines going to be a pain in the a** I think i might have to break it down by Tackle, Center, and Guard but that would take soooooooooo long.

Just some thoughts.

In terms of o-line, I say just throw 10-15 whatever up and take the top 5. If people want to try to go traditional 2T, 2G and a center great, but it may be a top 5 regardless as well.

In case you missed it...I used to go by Denverjhawk : )

Can't argue with these

Offensive line and defense positions a little more groupage and such. Might be easier to do individual “OT, OG, C, DT, DE, OLB, ILB, S, CB”

Pretty sure you mean June Henley as the 4th string RB.

A couple more WR candidates

David Verser – 1st round pick of Bengals in 1981. Turned out to be a bust in the NFL.

Ron Jessie – Was at KU for 2 seasons I believe in the late 60’s/early 70’s. Spent 11 seasons in the NFL – mostly with the LA Rams I think (I have football cards of him with the Rams). Actually made 1 Pro Bowl as a WR.

I’m tempted to nominate Charles Gordon but I believe his numbers went down once he became a starter at CB (and Bill Wittemore graduated). After he set a KU receiving record for a freshman I thought he was going to put up big numbers at WR but he had 2 things going against him – no reliable QB after Witttemore and Nick Quartaro as offensive coordinator. Imagine Charles Gordon’s numbers if Warriner was OC and Reesing was throwing him the ball.

He still played a little WR

He was pretty much our third WR his soph year while also being a sick cornerback. Similar to how we used Talib later.

Remember it was Gordon who the imfamous offensive pass interference was called on when we beat (yeah I said beat!) Texas in 2004.

I agree though, it would have been awesome to see how he panned out at WR, but at least we still got to see him on that side of the ball a little bit. And you are right, given our situation at QB in 2004 and 2005, its probably better we moved him to Corner. He got noticed and now is a nickle back on one of the best defenses in the NFL (being a Packer fan I just threw up a little bit in my mouth when I said that)
