DESCRIPTION:
Trinidad Chambliss was asked at Ole Miss Media Day about building chemistry with four or five new receivers. He said he's teaching them how fast the offense plays, how explosive plays happen — and that he's teaching them the Ole Miss standard. Almost nobody picked it up.
Then it shows up everywhere else. Caleb Odom said there are live reps in 12 personnel where he doesn't know the full call, so he looks at Luke Hasz and Hasz tells him. Terrez Davis named offensive line coach John Garrison twice unprompted, and said the interior veterans teach him what they've already seen. Makhi Frazier transferred in knowing the job was taken. Four players from four rooms credited their position coach by name without being asked.
Why it matters: insecure rooms don't teach. The veteran doesn't help the transfer who's coming for his job, and the starter doesn't answer the backup's question. None of that is happening here — and that's a better indicator right now than any depth chart.
The honest counterweight: all of it is testimony, not tape. Camp is closed, availabilities are a few minutes, and nobody has watched this football team play football.
Later: the receiver replacement panic. Five of six pass catchers are gone and every preview is asking the same question the same voices asked last August — when the answers turned out to be De'Zhaun Stribling and Harrison Wallace. AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Elijah Moore and Jonathan Mingo came out of this room. The honest counter: Chambliss and Deuce Alexander are the only pair who've done it together here, and Baker says he wants five or six receivers he trusts and has rarely had more than three or four.
