      Carrington didn’t have incidents with the law. He was just involved running into incidents… LOL  great writing.

      The newest member to join the team has a shaky past that involved running into incidents with the law

        Carrington’s upside is a contribution on a “Kaelin Clay Scale.”

        Hopefully two things, first, that Carrington doesn’t drop the ball short of the end zone, and second, that the UTES have a higher talent level around carrington than they did around Clay.  

        Nothing but upside for us in this deal.

          I’d say higher than Kaelin. He’s the best receiver we’ve had since Josh Gordon.

            I fully expect 1,000 yards out of Carrington this year. 

            Anything less would be a failure.

              If he lasts the whole season. LOL

              As a duck fan, what do you base that on exactly? or maybe its sarcasm? Carringtons best season was as a freshman w/ Mariota throwing to him and he totaled 704 yards on about 40 receptions. His stats have dropped every season since then. Last year he had more receptions but 100 less yards. Carrington doesn’t break tackles and he drops the ball a lot, but he makes big plays when he needs to.

              If Carrington does get 1,100 yards, its because everyone else on the team has >100 combined. I just don’t see Troy Williams being able to do anything that Mariota and Vernon Adams JR weren’t able to do. I’ll admit that his stats probably suffered from playing half the season with prukop and a OL made up entirely of freshman last year, and for missing 5 quarters of football for breaking a dudes arm. But Carrington isn’t a work horse stat sheet filler like Cooper Kupp. He’ll drop a lot of passes, run lazy routes but on 3rd and 14 on your own 20, he’ll find ways to get open and extend drives.

                And our coaching staff won’t allow him to continue doing that. Whittingham has a great track record of coaching up players, getting them to buy in to the Family and System, and kicking their asses if they let down their teammates.

                Perhaps a change of environment, coaching staff, and players will be the motivation Carrington needs to succeed. If not, then he will find himself being forced to apologize to his teammates and running stairs until he quits the team.

                  I hope Carrington has a great season inwhich he can avoid any stupidity and see the field every single game. He still isn’t getting 1,110 yards though.

                    You’re right. It’ll be 1,111 yards. 😉

                    I suspect we will have over 3200 yds of passing this year (for the first time since Brian Johnson beat Alabama), but it will be distributed across 12-15 or more receivers. I don’t see any single receiver getting more than 700-ish yards in Troy Taylor’s system.

                    Even Washington State doesn’t have receivers go over 800 or so, even though they had three go for over 700 each.
