Preseason Depth Chart

Huh!

THAT is some interesting stuff.

I feel like Will Bryan's versatility has cost him a little bit in his career. If he could have just played RG his whole time here, he'd have had an easier career.

I really feel pretty good about this depth chart. Everybody either has decent playing experience or significant talent.

I suspect that if Cooper comes back healthy and game-ready, then Lee will move to LT and Will to RG on the starting OL.

WTF, when did Jahaziel move to Center?

That's Sort of what I'm hoping for. Those are their best positions, IMO.

Spring. They didn't have anybody to play Center with Cooper hurt, so they moved Lee and he did pretty well.

 

[GTFLETCH]

I hope Kenny Cooper can get healthy and get back soon

So, Items of interest:

1. Hansen has slimmed down quite a bit, it appears.
2. Glanton not on the depth chart at all
3. I wonder could Martin play end?
4. There is a LOT of speed/athleticism in the LB depth chart. With the exception of the Mitchell/Jackson position, every other position is stocked with guys who can really move. Lots of former DB's and WR's in the mix.
5. I wonder if number 4 above means we don't play much nickel.
6. Will Brad Stewart (a 4 year starter) reach 40 career receptions?

 

[MacJacket]

Good looking roster. There is some talent behind the 2nd string as well.

 

[Lavoisier]

While we don't really have an elite guy at NT that is some of the best depth I've seen at the position in over a decade.

It helps when we only need 1

 

[Lavoisier]

You can only have 1 NT by definition...

 

[GTHomer]

Anyone concerned that overall, our OL is somewhat 'light in the pants'? I can see the advantage of a lighter, quicker OL between the 20's given our blocking schemes however in the red zone, you like having a little more 'beef' in the line.

 

[Blumpkin Souffle]

Seems like the CB position is wide open.
OL positions really depend on if Cooper and Marshall come back healthy for fall camp.

Spring Game

 

[ramblinwreckguru]

OL Depth is still a problem. I still don't think we recruit enough scholarship OL. I think 19 would be ideal with as many health issues as we have with our OL versus other positions.

 

[Gtbowhunter90]

Looks about right to me. Just remember that a lot of the Freshmen will get their shot at the depth chart once Fall Camp starts. There's a lot of anticipation for these young defensive guys...

 

[takethepoints]

I agree with AE that this chart is probably based on who gets well. If Marshall comes back ok, then he'll move in at OT and, if Cooper is ok, he'll take C. I sure do hope that's what happens. We need those guys for optimal performance.

Otherwise, this lineup will do for the time being. The schedule doesn't get really hairy until we play Clemson.

 

[alentrekin]

Henderson and Johnson are nickels.

Does Woody rotate a lot? hard to tell from the film without checking numbers.
