Depth Chart is Here

[Eli]

I missed Lewis as a surprise. Is he hurt?

zi thought he would be playing as well. I haven't heard if he is hurt or not.

 

[danny daniel]

Sorry to nitpick, but I see 3. Klock, Whitley, Searcy (4 with ST)

You are correct.

TaQuan is a big surprise, his tape and size wasn't as eye popping as our other freshman. Corey Alford is really outta left field, first time I've heard his name other than earning a scholarship. I'm really glad to see Gamble at end and JHD at DT.

I agree on Alford. Nobody saw that coming. I thought the starting 3 was gonna be Davis, Hankins and Marcordes.

 

[ChasonBaller]

Seeing Alford so high caught me off guard along with Lewis and Brown not being in the 2 deep. Alford always goes 110% so I'm fine with it. I was hoping to see the LB's be Lewis, Davis, and Hankins with Marcordes coming in to rush the passer. (I know we play nickel a lot)

Alford played a lot in the Spring Game and played very well. He has a Skov build (Fan Day). He has a lot of ST experience as well and can play all 3 LB positions. He has been around and "knows where to go".

 

[AE 87]

Nickel is our base. Being named the starting LB is like an honorary title.

 

[dressedcheeseside]

A couple questions, how often do we play nickle and when we do, who comes out? My guess is Alford.

 

[bke1984]

This stuck out to me to.

Not sure I'd worry about it too much. It sounds like the guy is basically a pass rush specialist. I think you may still see him in obvious passing downs

 

[Declinometer]

Looking forward to watching Stewart and Marshall perform.

 

[Essobee]

Skov starts at B-Back. JHD starting NT.

14 True Freshmen listed on the Depth Chart...wow.

Yeah, and very few redshirt freshmen.

 

[JacketTrain]

LB's don't look too promising. I hope they're not the achilles heel of the defense since the DL and DB's should be really good. Would have liked to see Davis, Macordes and Hankins as starters or as @ChasonBaller said Lewis, Davis and Hankins. Other than that, I think the entire team looks great.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

Depth on this roster is exciting. Three or four missing names but that may be good news rather than bad. Not that they were under performing but that others were hitting it out of the park so to speak.

 

[Frenchise]

Don't want to rain on the parade, but what are the chances this roster is giving the young'uns a chance to start early and get them excited. Then when they get graded out, they'll see they have a lot of work to do. Won't be starting after that, but it will give them the chip they need to work at starting again.

Let me just say that i wouldn't be surprised if the DC didn't look very different against UNC. I hope it doesn't, because that means these guys are really talented.

Just a thought...

 

[ATL1]

Still fluid. The final one is Monday.

Whitehead needs to step up.
I'd rather start RCG and have Gamble behind Gotsis.
I think we'll play a lot of Nickle during the year. I thought Marcordes was OLB.
Gray beating out a lot of safeties I thought would be ahead of him.
Looking forward to next week.

I don't know @ATL1 , I kind of like having Gamble at DE all game and then have Whitehead come in on passing downs after the OT has been physically beaten by Gamble.

Less than zero percent.

Johnson isn't going to run anything less than the best team he has out there against any opponent.

 

[Ibeeballin]

Roof said close to 70% and more than likely Chase Alford not Corey Alford

 

[slugboy]

When I saw Snoddy backing up Golden, it took me a second to realize it was on kick returns. I thought it was a big change at safety.

 

[UgaBlows]

Remember the Air Force bowl game.

Please, lets not instead

Whitehead not on the 2 deep. RCG will most def play, Roof loves him, and he is effective. Gamble can slide around but for depth purposes I'd play him 2nd NT.
