Way Too Early 2018 Depth Chart

[Hedley Lamarr]

I'm ready for them to go through the 4217 drill

 

[swmohusker]

Think young plays ahead of Barry.  

Don't think Bootle is ahead of Jackson.   

 

[obert1]

Good list, I would think Gifford starts at LB and I really think JoJo Domann finds his way on the field as well

I'm curious where Jo Jo fits in. Sounds like he was on the way to see the field before his injury this year.

Tre Bryant is only a sophomore

Unless he gets a medical redshirt he will be a junior.

Think young plays ahead of Barry.  

Don't think Bootle is ahead of Jackson.   

lamar jackson needs to be on offense.  he is not a defensive player.  at least not one frost is likely to tolerate unless jackson can make some big changes.

I am hoping we start to see the winter conditioning and testing results being published so we have a better idea of what kind of atheticism we actually have on the team.   We need to see the legit shuttle runs and 40 times and the lifting and heights and weights, etc.  

This information used to be put out by Epley and the strengtrh program annually.  This gave us a lot better tangible way to really evaluate the raw talent and athletic ability of the players.  It eliminates the debates about speed, quickness, strength, height and weight, etc.  This way, if you have a given player who runs a 4.75 forty, you can't complain if the RB turns the corner on him because he doesn't get there in time and vice versa.  If he is fast, but doesn't make the play, it is because of poor coaching and or not learning his responsibilities or making the effort.  

This way, you don't have to argue about whether the coaching is the problem or the talent.   You know - if they are slow plow horses, you don't win the derby but you pull like hell.  You put your athletes in places where they can excell and not fail because they simply lack the ability to do the job.

i wonder if Tre will even see the field again?

 

[TonyStalloni]

i wonder if Tre will even see the field again?

I'm hoping he comes out of the surgery all healed up and able to play again.  Having Greg Bell might allow Tre to sub in and have a reduced work load and extend his career.  We need him healthy.

 

[bugeater17]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Dedrick Young slide outside to get our 3 best backers on the field at the same time.

Great kid, good running back, bad knees. He has to live with his body for the rest of his life. 

 

[krc1995]

So glad that POB didn’t get his redshirt pulled in 2016.

He will get a medical redshirt. He will only be a sophomore. 

 

[FaithfulHusker]

Not bad. I wouldn't mind if they found a place for Berry at OLB, so we can get him, Honas and Roberts on the field at the same time. 

Have Berry at boundary LB, Honas, and Roberts in the middle and have Luke as the field linebacker. Also, put Mick and Stille at the D Ends and have One of the Twins as the Defensive tackle spot.

I don’t know if Chinandrin’s D will have the same boundary and field OLB designations. I don’t know much about different 3-4 defenses, but I think Chinandrin’s and Diaco’s defenses are vastly different.
