I've heard that Ruth may be back for the second half of the season. Other than that, and Meiners returning to full health, we are what we are. Britt and Morse should be fine on the outside, but they have to be more consistent.

I'm actually hoping for the Mauk era to start early.

Why would you want to try to stretch the field with a physical freak like DGB? Best to use him in the screen game and running game.

The only thing that I can hypothesize is that DGB is exponentially raw in route running, and this is why he's not being utilized or targeted. That said, we're getting far enough along in the season when even this will be no excuse. If he needs coaching...wait for it...coach him up. Otherwise, it's criminal not to be exploiting the talents of the most physically gifted skill-position player on the field, regardless of opponent. |

As it is, it kinda reminds me of the Chiefs using TonyG as a blocking TE.

One of the most gifted WR's ever at MU, Macklin, ran back the kickoffs. If confidence is one of the issues for DGB, why not let him get experience doing that?
Somehow it has to be that he is just so raw that they don't want to kill his confidence. I understand that Moe and Lucas have earned their spots and thus far haven't really done anything to have them taken away from them. And L'Damien Washington has proven he belongs also....but there has to be something they can do with DGB. If nothing else they need to air it out just once or twice a quarter just to keep the defenses honest. Can it also be that we don't have a QB who can sling the ball that far accurately? I'd like to see duncan_idaho's take on this...I'm sure he probably has better insight than most of us who are just surmising. |

I wonder if Alabama, Florida etc would have him on the field...
I hope to see this kid soon, there are other freshman WR tearing it up and he is supposed to be the best. Hope its just the playbook/routerunning thing that needs to get up to speed and fast |

Two issues at play here, IMO. The first one is that we have incredible depth at WR. DGB has incredible physical talent, but so do Lucas, LDW, Waters, Hunt, and even Sasser. I'd assume that DGB is still getting up to speed on the playbook and very likely needs work in route running.
Which of course is why you have him running go routes (to exploit his size/speed combination.) However, go routes require one thing that Mizzou currently doesn't have much of: time. Mizzou's line is beat up enough that they are having trouble blocking four for a small amount of time. Given that teams have read the book on Mizzou and are sending at least five, the go routes are difficult to execute. Berk took some shots downfield, but he he to lay it out there very early and hope that it timed out correctly. You also run a significant risk of an interception if the timing/placement isn't great, if a safety is playing center field. Fix the line and you'll fix the deeper routes, IMO.
