Best Gopher WR since Decker. He will be playing on Sundays
I was surprised by this, too. But, damn, Tyrone Johnson.I was surprised at the lack of reps for Still. Will Reger was in quite a bit.

This game was much different than any performance last year. Yards were in the 20-30 range last seasons in games, not much to talk about.More than one game. He played last year. Anyway you look at it he is going to play on Sundays.
It was one half. Buffalo took him out after halftime. All his yards and catches were in yhe first half .It was one game, but looked really promising!

Still simply doesn't have what it takes. He rarely wins the 50/50 battles helping his qb with tough catches. I've been off his bandwagon for a while now. Hope I'm wrong.Lack of reps for Still would be an indication he isn't impressing anyone in practice. Then the reps he gets in this game he fails to get separation and on his one target fails to win a fight for the ball on a much smaller guy. If you can't get clean and can't win fights for balls it's tough to be an effective reciever. He probably has about the same number of chances Wozniak has to figure it out before we never hear from him again.
Just me, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Fleck pull the RS on Bell.He was just a tad behind Douglas in Fall practice before he got injured.
Fair enough. Im fine driving the Tyler Johnson NFL bandwagon. Everyone will be on board by the end of the season
With the O-Line being relatively inexperienced playing together, we'll probably see Still, Lingen, and others get into the offense as time goes by.
He's still injured, he was in street clothes Thursday.
Fleck will have to make an interesting call on Autman-Bell, assuming he didn't have a season ending injury.
Do you play him if he's good to go by game 4? Game 6? Game 8? Is he good enough to really make waves as a true freshman (like Corey Davis was)?
We are starving for more playmakers on offense. Outside of the Big 4 of the RBs, Ty, and hopefully a healthy Lingen I just don't know. We don't seem to really have a deep burner. We don't have a big body for the red zone outside of Holland and Lingen and Holland has yet to be targeted. Still is a huge question mark - does he buy in or shut down? Where is his head at? Douglas may be turn out to be good but he's a diminutive true freshman.
My guess: Fleck really wants to play CAB this year and we'll probably see him at some point if they can't get the other guys going. Youth movement.

Um. So against a team that won two games last year, a team that you were more than 3 touchdown favorites over, you spent the second half not playing to win, rather playing not to lose. OK then.Sid asked about that on the Sports Huddle. Fleck said (paraphrasing) that the Gophers didn't throw the ball as much in the 2nd half because they were protecting the lead, and Fleck said "we couldn't afford another interception that might swing the game." In fairness, Fleck indicated that the Gophers went with a vanilla offense by design. I certainly hope there's more in the playbook we haven't seen yet.
I got the impression from something PJF said that if he can go in the OoC games he will play - if not, RS.

It's almost as if he didn't trust his QBs...
If so, and it looks like it, i just wonder if he isn't considering introducing Morgan in a few weeks?
If Fleck feels Morgan is the best option, why wait?
