After 5 years of bitching about not having any really good WRs many posters on here are bemoaning the fact that the hawks got WR Phillips to come to Iowa. He has proven the first aspect that he can catch and as we have seen that is important (Kaleb Brown and some others have not been very good at catching the ball). So many want a CB and that is important.
If Phil can get a ready made shutdown CBack that would be awesome. But we need receivers maybe more since it is our offense that was really bad, now slightly improved, but needs to improve another 30% in the passing game at least. A 30% better pass rush can really help our the corners we already have.
If Phillips has speed and he and Gill can at least be two very good receivers then that is great. If Buie, Howard and some others can add meaninful catches then that is really great.
If Gill and Phillips are the best then maybe they should be on the field for 66-70 percent of snaps.
