Yea, why can't we be more like Urban and just forgive him?

[setem]

In the grand scheme of things this is not all the big of a loss. It is big but not that big. I would think Powell or McCay get their shirts pulled but who knows?

Put the knives and guns down, we will be okay!

Brandon Caleb?

lol yeah that was my main concern when i heard about the injury too :cool:

it's official: out for season.

sorry :(

[oudavid1]

My whole deal is, he was OUr biggest receiver, so i think he is hard to replace in that aspect. BUT, the way LJ is throwing an DM is running, i defiantly think we will be ok. Cam Kenny should take his sport and hopefully trey franks gets more time since we ill be in different packages(not alot, but maybe one or two) than we would be with Dejuan. Hope he gets better soon and is not to sad about his knee.

[Collier11]

15 catches in 6 games, he is a very valuable asset but he isnt Broyles, we will be ok

[Mad Dog Madsen]

15 catches in 6 games, he is a very valuable asset but he isnt Broyles, we will be ok

I believe he was only thrown to 15 times though...

[sooner59]

Of course....

[oudavid1]

agreed and spek spek spek

[yankee]

you can replace an injured receiver, but you can't replace 6-4 220 pounds and the mismatch it creates on the field.

[Collier11]

with the type of passing game we can

[yankee]

with the type of passing game we can

sorry, you call can love on cam kenney all you want...but there's no way he comes close to replacing dejuan miller.

we can get trey franks in there, but what he sacrifices in size i guess he makes up for in speed. should be interesting. hope we get the tight ends more involved. but i've been saying that before the season started and it hasn't happened yet. oh well...as long as we're winning, i can keep my complaining to a minimum. :D

[Collier11]

I havent said a word about Kenney, I just said that we will be ok.

[yankee]

I havent said a word about Kenney, I just said that we will be ok.

then who'd you figure to replace him?

[Collier11]

Im guessing we will see a steady diet of Broyles and Stills with Franks, Kenney, and Caleb possibly mixed in

[madillsoonerfan5353]

I believe he was only thrown to 15 times though...

LJ threw a slant pass behind him against ISU in the go zone:rolleyes: :;) , I think? That hit him in the hands.

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING! Dont be such a girl We have guys who can step up and do a good job. If we lose a game it wont be because we lost Miller. We might replace him with Cam or it could be someone else in our NICE stable of wideouts. They are here for a reason and it is because they know how to play ball. I trust they will find the right dude to make the plays and help us with some ball games.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

shutup baseball boy

[TahoeSOONER]

I've always been a Cam sunshine pumper and I'm going to say he steps up the rest of the season and plays big for us.

[Collier11]

You shut up Butt Raider

[soonercastor]

Well hopefully one of the guys (or all of them) seizes this opportunity and fills in the blank; However like someone mentioned, we will miss the mismatch that he was. We will be ok though...comeback quick Dejuan!

Of course, Miller had 2 good games. He probably would've been huge this weekend but the team is deep. We haven't had to use our TEs as much because other receivers are open. I have no problem w/ Kenney starting again. He better just have an FSU type performance. Its like he only shows up against Florida teams.

[PeruSooner]

We could also flex James Hanna out wide more often, if replacing DM's size is a major concern (blocking, red zone target). He was a wide receiver in high school. That would also open more playing time for Haywood at TE.

[BoulderSooner79]

I'm glad Miller took the repair/full recovery route. We'll miss him, but he'll have another full year to be a producer at OU.

[usaosooner]

http://www.northcoastcoopers.com/forums/images/smilies/sadnana.gif

[Scott D]

Trey Franks steps up.

[btk108]

Time for Cam to shine....

[ThinMan]

Could mean we see more TEs.

Caleb and Kenney are probably the first choices with Trey also.

[goingoneight]

Miller had all the tools to be the big receiving threat in the BIG 12. Coaches were working his size and physicality in on tired defenses this year. Sad to see yet another UN-lucky break for Dejuan and OU. :(

[tcrb]

Caleb

[sooneron]

I don't think we're doomed, but I also don't think we won't miss a beat with Dejuan gone. His size was a mismatch and he was proving to be a good bail out for LJ. You know LJ, which, to sf.com'ers was a headcase 1.5 months ago, and now he's suddenly a heisman hopeful.

[SoonerNate]

The fact that we are naming different names shows this will be okay.

Depth

[ouleaf]

Sucks...my fav. moment of this season of his was at the Cincy game. One of the corners was talking **** and Miller started jawing back at the guy. I think it was maybe a play or 2 later, he straight smoked the guy and had a made a nice catch on a deep ball from Landry.

[SoonerNate]

Being that he likely hurt it in practice against OUr D...

I blame Vulnerables.

[NormanPride]

His 3 touches a game will be shifted to the TE, most likely. We won't burn McCay's shirt this late in the season unless he's a freak and he's not right now. On the other hand, we have three TEs that need more touches. Hanna is a real threat, Ratt has improved his hands this year, and Haywood is getting more PT because he's a great player as well.

We will miss Miller, no doubt, but if we want a guy to run a five yard slant then we can put a TE out there or get a little guy. This mostly hurts us in third and medium - he was great at catching the ball at 5 yards and fighting for those last two or three to get the 1st. We'll need the running game to be more consistent to make up for that.

[goingoneight]

Lotta love for Kenney in this thread. Hope he gets over his dropsies. It's his last chance IMO if they even give him a chance before Franks and Powell.

[jumperstop]

He's always seemed good at finding the open space, just not catching the ball.

[NormanPride]

More of a chance that Caleb plays instead of Kenney. Caleb's a better blocker, and the TEs will get the catches instead of the third WR.

[oumartin]

Rumor has it Bob wants to turn Finch into a WR so he can get his best players on the field. ;)

[gaylordfan1]

Hmmm, if I remember correctly I have only seen Caleb on the field as a WR during the ISU route. Kenney started, and Trey Franks has been on the field a lot more than most. I know he is a slot, but remember Broyles can shift to the outside receiver at anytime. I love the guy, but doubt Caleb is the answer. I hope I am wrong.

This mostly hurts us in third and medium - he was great at catching the ball at 5 yards and fighting for those last two or three to get the 1st. We'll need the running game to be more consistent to make up for that.

I r having agreeance... 3 catches and 33 yards/game can be made up even if it is with three different guys. And I think NP and a couple of others have hit on what seems to me to be the easy solution if you need another big receiver on the field... keep Rateree in at TE and flex Hanna out.

But beyond that I think our cheer for the rest of the season needs to be "'Stay Healthy!' on three... 1 ,2, 3, STAY HEALTHY!"

[gaylordfan1]

STAY HEALTHY!

[PLaw]

The football gives and the football takes away.

Nice getting Finch and Box into the game last week. Really, really sucks losing D-Miller for the remainder of the season. Just need somebody else to step up an compliment Broyls and Stills.

Boomer

[BlownGP]

15 catches in 6 games, he is a very valuable asset but he isnt Broyles, we will be ok

Yeah, I sorta agree. I mean yeah being 6'4" helps, but he dropped more passes then I can count. That was a lot last year, but it seems LJ never passes to him anyways..

I think we will be fine though. Broyles can take care of the slack..

[Rickety_Syd]

15 catches in 6 games, he is a very valuable asset but he isnt Broyles, we will be ok

I'm confident we'll find someone who can make 2.5 catches per game.

[goingoneight]

bear hug your little stat books all you want... Dejuan Miller was a player for us. Top reserve wideout and made big, contributing plays to keep drives alive in wins over Cincy and Tejas. He's a "big" we used quite frequently. It'll hurt.

[THE-JROD]

Rumor has it Bob wants to turn Finch into a WR so he can get his best players on the field. ;)

Thats what im sayin! Split the guy out and let him make some plays!!! Bring him in motion and run some reverses with him and just mix it up to keep the defense guessing!

We will be fine! Yes it is a tough loss, but its not a loss that will change our outcome in any games!

[gaylordfan1]

D. Miller's presence will be missed. Will the positioned be filled with someone else? Yes. Will we adjust plays accordingly to fit the players on the field? Yes. It will work out.... Yes, I have no doubt!

[OUthunder]

Just got this message WWLS Alert--Carey Murdock reports that OU wide receiver Dejuan Miller has torn his meniscus and is out for the season

I had the same injury/surgery a few years ago. Extremely painful and he'll be lucky to be back by spring practice. I couldn't swing a golf club for six months. The pain is awful and the recovery time is long, due to the amount of swelling after the surgery.

Best of luck to Dejuan and a speedy recovery.

[Crucifax Autumn]

This sucks, but I'm sure with all the guys we have someone will step up more.

[Sooner70]

Dangit. Hate that, but seems repairable & he'll be back next year.

I thought Jaz Reynolds was sent packing. Off field problem. Am I wrong on that? Is he still even on the team? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Justin McCay isn't as big as DM, but at listed 6'3", 197#, that's a sizeable target too. I'd think Stoops would want to keep Finch at RB as he's showed mucho potential, but maybe not.

It'll probably be Kenny listed 6'1", 190, but between him, Stills, Caleb & Powell, should cover it. May end up being a rotating thing & may best man win.

[Crucifax Autumn]

I'm not sure about his maturity yet, but assuming he's catching on fast there's no real reason Finch couldn't play a of both is there? It would be kinda fun to see him and Murray on the field at the same time with the D having to adjust even more as the two just take turns between RB and WR for a series or few.

If we see Murray and Finch on the field at the same time, it will be Murray who lines up at receiver or motions out to the slot. He's been doing that for 3 years already.

[Crucifax Autumn]

That's what I really expect, but it would be fun watching them trade spots play to play.
