Massey will be our next Brandon James. And I hope he learns to not catch a punt inside the 1 yard line.

Field position and wr talent don't mean shcit without a qb.

Having a strong return game can make a huge difference in flipping the field and providing the offense better opportunities. I hope Massey is as good as we think he is, because I have never seen him play. The poor kid tore his ACL the first play of last year.

We need playmakers in our offense. It is something that Muschamp didn't recruit and McElwain has had to build.

"But with Massey back returning kicks, it’s possible the Gators might be up 7-0 before Franks even has to take a snap."

Well, I'm glad to see we haven't gone into full blown unrealistic expectations mode.

Our decline in the return game from the championship level we had is dramatic. Perhaps it is an indication of lack of depth in talented players.

Mostly agree, but I'll take every extra yard we can get. If starting at the 30-35 yd line instead of the 18-20 (see: Powell, Brandon) takes some pressure off the QB, it's gotta help more than it hurts.

First off, Massey has to give up his infatuation with the infirmary, then we can pretend to rely on him ;)

After re watching Toney in the spring game, I am almost ready to throw him to the lions and name him the starter and see what happens......this guy will be a baller.

Meyer used to put starters on Special Teams. He made playing Special Teams a big deal. So it isn't a depth issue if you are putting your top guys out there... maybe we need to be doing more of that.

After watching him play against 3rd stringers? He looked great, but big difference between doing it against our third string and first string.

Aren't you the same guy that said CeCe will go undrafted :snicker:

Correction, I said based on his current level of play he'd go undrafted. I do think, when his career at UF is done, he'll get drafted. Where, I'm leaning day 3 right now depending on combine measurements.

Our kick return unit is as bad as I can ever remember it being in my time watching Gator football. Punt return was great in '15, but horrific last year. Hopefully Massey won't have any residual problems with his knee, because if he's as good as advertised, our return problems will be over.
