Robert, is there any practical difference between being a late round draft pick and a post draft signee? Any advantages as to actual draft status vs post draft?

We threw to Jelani to much. he couldn't catch and could not get open. We have to many athletes at WR/RB he fit UVA offense much better and give the young man credit for improving But this whole jelani did t get a chance is false.

good lord people, it's your opinion, there is no true or false to it.

IMO, OSU DOES NOT use any of the CW's effectively in the offense.... we use to hit the FB out in the flats or dump it across the middle all the time, in days past.

Same with the TE, we had Bad Billy and Marcellus, and many others that we would use often.

IMO, our big problem is a dual-threat QB, who takes off running with the extra blocker, rather than have these players a dump-off options... but that's just my opinion.

Our Linemen don't pull much, we don't do a lot of misdirection, our offensive set is pretty vanilla these days, but instead we run multiple plays from the same sets. It is what it is.
