Dude, Where's our Playmaker?

49 days and 8 hours.

That is how much time separates me from heaven on Earth. 

Until then, I'm hoping to get some BONer's views on who the potential playmakers for our Horns' will be this season.    Offense, and Defense. 

Colt, Cosby, and Orakpo are eliminated, because we know what these guys can do.  I want someone who only us BON'ers and fellow Longhorn fans know about.  Someone that on day one of the 2008 season, no one outside of Texas will have heard his name, and then in December, the team we're playing in our Bowl will have to making game plans specifically for him.

I'm personally hoping it will be Deshaun Hales on offense. And Christian Scott on Defense.

49 days, 7 hours, and 50 minutes

Playmakers

Put it in ink…Malcolm Williams on offense. Also, it’s DeSean Hales, not Deshaun.

kirkendoll

i love me some james kirkendoll at receiver. On D i’d argue all 3 junior/RS junior lb’s will be darn good but that’s almost to be expected. Unexpected player to step up: Ben Wells

Applewhite

will be my offensive #1 playmaker this year even though he just a RB coach…. It will be even more exciting when he starts to take over more responsibility from GD. By then, I will vote him for MVP as #1 offensive playmaker : )

Thanks for reminding us only 49 days left and counting… Yea, all eyes on Texas and we can’t wait…..

Hook’em Horns!

it'll be a wide receiver

Minus a proven running back, minus Jermichael Finley, and with Colt McCoy’s limitations (but bless him for all that he is), the game-breaker will have to be one of the wideouts. I’d guess Jordan Shipley steps up, but I’d love to see Malcolm Williams or James Kirkendoll grow into the kind of receiver that stretches (and scares) defenses. John Chiles has the talent but, sadly, I fear he won’t get the touches.
