How Do We Replace Patrick Cobbs?

[mikethewreck]

I think the loss of Cobbs will hurt. Not just because Sparano will be sad without his little friend, but that dude did a bunch of stuff that can go unnoticed until someone else is doing it poorly.

1. Good kick returns
2. Excellent kick coverage (saw him sprinting down on kicks Monday night)
3. Big factor in the Wildcat (BLOCKING and receiving)
4. Good 3rd down back
5. Good team player

So how do we replace him?
Sheets kickoffs?
Hilliard STs?
More Ricky and Ronnie?
????

Sheets will take his role I think

A combination of Lex Hilliard and the newly signed Kory Sheets.

20 Kory Sheets threads and now this

1. No (because he was returning he couldn't block for himself)
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes

Probably Ginn on kickoffs, Hilliard & Allen need to step up even more on ST, and hopefully Sheets, Hilliard, and White can fill in some of what Cobbs does on 3rd down or in the Wildcat.

we will find a way.. good teams find a way.. you never know sheets maybe the whole answer.. just need a chance to shine.. but we will see.. it sounds bad but the bye couldn't have come at a better time with cobb's injury.. now atleast sheets will have some time to get the offense down alittle and the extra time will help hillard get some more reps..

Obviously, the running game contributions are going to have to come from Hilliard or the new acquired RB.

The other things, STs esp, are going to have to come from someone who is willing to challenge himself to be better than hes been to this point.

Our kick return game will improve. Also maybe this means we'll throw to Ronnie more on third down.
