Who has to work harder in the offseason Kenny Stills or Roy Finch?

Roy Finch has work to do because after whaley went down and he started to receive the majority of playing time it became crystal clear why he couldn't beat out whaley, he's way too small. He can't break tackles at all, he has amazing speed and technique but he needs to bulk up I looked on the sooner website and he's only 5'7 and weighs 166 pounds. Honestly if he were to get bigger he could be a very dangerous offensive weapon.

Kenny Stills on the other hand seems to be unable to step up he has all the tools to be an amazing receiver but he seems to not be much of a receiver without broyles. He is starting to remind me of dejuan miller but just a little bit better has the proper tools but doesnt do anything with them (besides drop passes). The offseason could do him some good but IMO its starting to look as though either Kameel Jackson or Jaz Reynolds will be the next main guy for OU not Stills.

So who do you think needs to work harder?

Mental and physical

Finch has to get physically stronger

Stills has to get mentally stronger

Not only that

but his conditioning must improve. He can’t tap out after every go route he runs. I do agree that he needs to get his head straight…and cut that dadgum hair!

I say Stills....

because he will be counted on more. Whaley will be the starter, and barring injury will probably handle all the carries.

If Stills applies himself

to all phases of the game he can be great. Finch could work his ass off but until he learns to let the hole/crease/lane whatever develop he is going nowhere. He does not have bone structure to be an All Day type of running back. I would put him in the slot position despite his size and run him over the middle so he can use his skill of quickly changing directions to elude tacklers.

But I am not a coach or OC.

The one thing being a lot older has going for it, most of us older have seen more CFB than most younger people have seen web pages.

stills NEEDS to improve for the 2012 season

stills because he is the guy who is suppose to be the leader of the sooner receving corps and this years performance was somewhat of a blah season for him next year needs to produce more or else his job could be in jeprody with all the new reciving talent coming in this year.
