Welcome to another episode of Y11 Audio; and welcome to Previews Weeks! Let’s preview everything that EMU and the Mid-American Conference have to offer this season in the three weeks leading up to 2024’s season kickoff.
Two position groups here to wrap up the offensive positions look-ats through the first week of Prevews Weeks
First, running backs. Samson Evans and Jaylon Jackson, two uber-reliable players that could help move the football in more ways than one, are big losses for this program. Lots of new faces could help define how EMU moves past those struggles, but the main key objective, in my eye is pretty clear: don’t get caught trying to chase ghosts.
After the RBs, we focus the rest of our talk around the team’s tight ends. Not every tight end develops into being the same product on the field because not every tight end comes into the program the same way. There are converted wide receivers, converted quarterbacks, and the standard sixth offensive lineman can always go out and try to catch a pass when defenses least expect it. Jere Getzinger’s a quality senior to help make this offense work, but will the pass-catching tight ends end up being bigger factors in games this season?
To help preview Previews Weeks, we’ll go through each of the positions Monday through Thursday this and next week, and then have conference-wide previews in the the third week. We’ll focus on Eastern Michigan’s offensive positions this week, then its defensive episodes will air next week.
