Greg Mabin played very well last season. Greg may get a look at playing on
Sundays, if he plays as well again this fall. And I suspect he will.

Go Hawks

If you are an OC for an opposing team, I think you may have a hard time explaining to the Head coach why you tried to throw toward Dez King's side of the field. Especially if he makes you pay for it. I suspect Greg Mabin will really be tested this year. I don't think Dez will be tested enough to put up the kind of stats he needs to be a Thorpe finalist this year ... unless he really kicks a$$ in the return game.

This goes against everything Phil Parker teaches, but I would really like to see DK up in the WRs grill this year, playing some "smash-mouth" CB with the WRs. Knock them off of their routes and their timing. Especially when we play spread "finesse" teams. I realize it won't happen, but if we ever had a CB that could execute that kind of play, it would be Dez.

I wold love to see Parker get creative with King this year and use him in some nontraditional ways. Maybe play him at safety a little so teams can gameplan as much against him. With his ball skills & tackling he would be a natural at safety and teams wouldn't be able to throw away from him so much.
