it’s exciting as football season is just around the corner. this line up looks quite young again. should be full of raw talent to provide spectacular plays but also some necessary headaches.

one can only hope that withers finally has confidence in his front 7 and aggressively attacks the opposing offenses.

although i too am curious about blue’s wildcat offense schemes, i hope that we stick to what works like running draughn and houston and throwing to little and other WRs.

speaking of WRs, does anyone know what is up with jheranie boyd? i don’t know much about recruiting but scout.com had boyd ranked the 7th best WR and a 4 star, better than hakeem nicks who was 32nd ranked WR and a 4 star. we all know nicks jumped out from the getgo, outshining then #1 WR jesse holley. i know boyd has more competition and joshua adams enrolled in the spring to get a head start, but i figured boyd’s 4.45 40 speed would get him a role somewhere.

in any case, it’s exciting to have the likes of adams, boyd, blue, and other freshmen talent waiting to shine along with all the returning stars.

go heels.

Looking forward to this week’s action. We will learn a lot about state college, I do believe.

As for our O-line, yes, it’s not great to have Freshmen and/or RS Freshmen in the two-deep, but the level of raw talent and agility seems to be much greater than anything we’ve seen in the past few years. The bottom line, as you have blogged, is to stay injury free and develop some continuity in these first few games.

No real surprises looking at the rest of the lineup. I really like Charles Brown at the corner opposite Burney. The likes of Melvin Williams and Jonathon Smith as nickel and dime backs give the D some options. The front 7 is as good as we’ve seen in many years.

Offensively, I was interested in the article on AJ Blue running some “wildcat” offense schemes. http://northcarolina.scout.com/2/893214.html
