Depth Chart Changes

Can they bench the punter?

I don't know.  Seems to be cherry picking who is being held accountable.

I don't even think these "changes" are all that big of a deal.

Me neither.  It's the most predictable change they could have made

If Honas is injured, deduction would say Young would still start if no one behind him is better.

I think you answered why some players are not getting PT cut while others are...depth and injuries.

Can we get a gif of Lightbourn slipping and falling on that one punt? Would be up there with Cotton at MSU.

I was referring more to Dismuke falling off the depth chart when he had a PF called against him but the Davis twins have a couple called against them and nothing has changed.

It was ridiculous...can someone photoshop in a banana?

Predictable because it is obvious to coaches and fans alike or that you think coaches are failing to see the real problems in the two-deep? How would you change the depth chart?

Oh, I just meant that it is nothing earth shattering...like where a ton of starters were all of a sudden benched.

His hissy fit afterwards was the cherry on top.

Beyond the PF calls against Dismuke and the Davis twins, which of the three are playing to a standard that allows them to stay in their role and which fall short? All three?

I would argue that one mistake will not get you benched with SF (i.e., no fear of failure), but an inability to execute routinely during practice and in game will be the litmus.

Should have Donkey Kong riding in front of him. That punt perfectly summarizes this season.

And I think the depth explanation still holds. We have other safeties, but Freedom and Stille can't play the whole game on the d-line. Practice could be a factor as well, but I doubt Dismuke is lighting up teammates or anything. He's probably still 3rd string anyway, so cutting that off the depth chart could be trying to send a message - that's just pretty much the only public-facing option when he's already 3rd string. We'll find out Saturday if he plays or not I guess.

Perhaps it's possible that the coaches are basing their decisions off of just one or two plays.
