I have felt that a healthy Shirreffs had the IT factor.  I trust him to make plays in crunch time.  Not the most accurate in terms of hitting guys in stride which limits YAC.   But he will move the chains provided he gets 2.5 seconds + to get the ball out.  His running style is of a fullback.  He will get first downs but will get hit hard.  In a Lashlee offense- he will be effective but is not the desired burner that can take a play to the house.

Donovan Williams was not ready last year.  No reason to judge him on those 3 games in terms of can he do it at this level.  The 40 yard run against Temple was impressive and I could see him also doing well in this offense.  He will learn how to read a defense with proper coaching. the physical skills are there.

I am trying to put my projection /coaching glasses on much like Randy and his coaches will with the in school players.  Young players grow in front of you.  (Case in point Obi M).  I can see position changes and lots of coaching up.  The good news is the players want to win and are willing to put the work in to make it happen.

I am going to watch this unfold with excitement, unlike the last year or so where I was beaten down by a loon who was way over his head.
