a lot better. Toma wouldn't be a top 3 wr on this team. FIelds, Faison, Pauling...I would say Greathouse and others are better too
Will be interested to see how the staff approaches the portal at WR. I’d bring in at least one guy. But you will return Faison, Greathouse hopefully, then relying on a bunch of guys who have promise but not much to show for it. I’m high on KK Smith, Gilbert, and Burress. I also think Williams is close and Saldate is gonna be a contributor. I think with what’s coming in Finley, Frazier or Fitz are most likely the 3 I could see having a shot at contributing next year.

I think you look for an X that can replace Fields. We have a hell of a selling point with 13 now

I was pretty critical of him last year. I thought he left a lot to be desired in 2024. He’s made up for that and then some. I’m here to eat my crow.

Same man. I was definitely off. I thought what happened to Greathouse this year, was going to happen to Faison. The ankle injury must have been bad bad. I was down on Aneyas Williams but he popped Saturday. I would be happy to be 0-2

Aneyas’ situation is 100% coaching. Seider wants to use 2 backs. I want Williams to get more carries. The downside to Williams getting more touches is that means Love isn’t getting the ball. I hope Williams can see the big picture and all the carries available in 2026.

Let me rephrase it: Some on here were saying he was better than Price. I could not take that as serious

Faison had more drops last year. Don’t know what the ankle has to do with that. Guys YAC and moves are NFL worthy. Toma came over to please Manti signing on with us as I recall. He was an over achiever in what I recall was a lackluster receiving corp otherwise he like Cam McDaniels wouldn’t see the field. Still pissed that McDaniels was taking Carry’s away from Terean Folston.

That one took a weird turn.

Price does have an actual, serious fumbling issue. Serious enough that it’s part of opposing game plans now.

I'm so confused by this. You either really, really liked Robby Toma (decent player but comparing him to Faison?) or you really have a lower opinion than 2025 Faison than most.

This is Roby Toma's CAREER:

Faison's 2025 season through 9 games:

Man that's a much tougher comparison. Thanks for clarifying and makes way more sense.

Pre-Senior year it appears it would be Faison by a landslide but Jones' sr. season was a special one.

I haven’t looked at film is his brother a similar sort of shifty player?
He may be good next season.

He is the top rated lacrosse player in the country. I don't know anything about what makes a lax player the number one recruit. I would imagine he will elude tackles with the same skill sets as his brother.

Was watching the CJ Carr video from last game. On some of the Faison plays, you can see how his lax moves translate to fb

Just noticing how much Faison looks like Lando Norris. Spitting image.

Isn't he a pretty solid lacrosse player? A bit of a surprise. However, if he has professional aspirations, probably an astute move.

I imagine that not getting a true offseason catches up to him physically- he was certainly much more limited this past lacrosse season compared to his freshman year. I’m not entirely convinced he has much of an NFL future, but this was the right choice to make for him if that’s what he wants to pursue.
