I'm sure Murphy and Peat have the potential to be great. But starting as freshmen? That's a lot to ask. From what I've read, Peat is probably more physically developed at this point, though Murphy may have more agility and talent in the long run. MAYBE, if Peat is fantastic, he gets more playing time as the season progresses. But if he is able to start right away, then I'm pretty worried about that spot on the line.
Encouraged by the news about Kelsey Young. If he can develop as a receiver, that would resolve some issues for the offensive side of the ball.
Not all that surprised about Evan Crower. When I saw his highlight tape, I thought it looked like he floated a lot of balls, rather than rifled them. I was much more impressed with Hogan's highlight reel. A post on another thread noted that both Crower and Hogan seemed to be loafing through the drills. I hope that isn't the case, or if it is that the coaches light a fire under them. Maybe they already believe the pecking order will be Nottingham and Nunes at the top (in one way or another), and the rest further down. OR, maybe they are both still thinking through what they are doing (footwork, timing, etc), and thus seem much slower.
