Arizona Football will be better than you think this year and here's why.🏈

[WILD]

Positives....RB play. JJ Taylor is a plain and simple play maker. If he doesn't get injured we could've beaten Washington last year. Then we have a 1000 yard rusher in Wilson and a 6'2 freshman Tilford who impressed in spring practice. Green also showed some promise near the end of the season. Running back will defiantly be a strength.

The whole defense will be improved. I think the DLine will be better than advertised and it will surprise. CBs will be better. Flowers has gained more weight and is at 210lbs.

I'm Looking for a surprise LB. I actually like the incoming freshmen LBs. Fields, Schooler, Brown, and Ramirez. Right now Fields has the upper hand but don't count out the others. Colacion is impressing and it's as good a time as ever to make a move.

The offensive lineman like each other and should be a team strength(Are the A Players Lounge videos with the offensive linemen) Arizona returns essentially it's whole offensive line minus Tagaloa, but he wasn't anything special or close to what he was supposed to be as a starter. Add Creason, Kosinski, or Eletise at guard and you have a very solid starting five. Depth is a bit shakey right now, but there's a lot of young guys on the line and Alsadek is one of the best.

Now on to the quarterbacks. Dawkins has got to be the most elusive QB's we have seen at Arizona in a long time. The dude gets some space and is gone. Dawkins showed flashes of brilliance last year against Washington, the first half against Utah and UCLA. All three of which were pretty good defenses, but also showed he can't get the ball out quickly and if they are in third and long chances are he will tuck and run and miss first down by 3 or 4 yards. Also another thing I noticed is that he could move the ball well between redzones, but couldn't get in the endzone.

Next we have Tate, he also has the speed to take it to the house if he gets an opening, but I think he has more potential when it comes to the passing game. During the scrimmage Tate made some great throws and looked very comfortable in the pocket. He waited and delivered on a lot of balls and his intermediate and long throws looked good. It was just a scrimmage.

Wide receivers are a bit of a toss up. Shun Brown is very good, Denson has a chance to have a big senior year, Poindexter has redzone target written all over him, and tony ellison is a guy who has been talked about for awhile, but hasn't had a chance to play due to injuries and Grant and Phillips at the slot. Matt Aragon the former punter actually looked like a good receiver in the scrimmage as well. The receivers don't have to be incredible because I bet they run the ball 55-45 or 60-40 this year, but if they are solid they'll be able to put up points.

Once again it'll be interesting in what we do at TE, Trevor Wood is the best TE prospect Arizona has gotten since Gronk, and maybe Magee coaching tight ends and being a former one finally gets them more plays. Magee has Rich's ear way more than Ragle did.

The offense has a chance to put up points and Arizona has won before with a shakey defense. Yates always emphasizes turnovers so if they are actually able to produce them this year even with a pretty bad defense they can win some games. If Arizona can win 7 games with the 2012 defense than it can win 7 games with the defense it has now.

LG has mentioned the OL and the RBs as a real strength. The D held up when they could get some rest last year and should be deeper this year. I see a much better team this year if we can avoid the massive injuries. JJ Taylor is an unbelievable talent.
