Katie come back
Bill come back

By the way me and the girls loved the luncheon yesterday.bowl bound and 8 plus wins! pony up!


Oh please do tell what wrong positions he has people in. I'll wait. Only thing I can think of is perhaps Shak being listed at the Star.

Also, not sure who our backup SS is but i'm pretty sure it's not Cedric Fernandes???

Overall, really good analysis. I think 4 wins is realistic.


Overall pretty good, but I am guessing EJ didn't really spend a lot of time with the two deep because he starts the article by saying Line won't start, but then lists him as the starter in the two deep. He also lists two players as breakout that play the same position - Rhone and Horton.

Two deep things (again, not really complaining, this is minor stuff):
- Backup at RT is Wilds
- Brown and Hyder both in the two deep at guard. I am also guessing with the indication that Reich has improved that Lasecki might be back at center going head to head with Barns. Fister, Chamagua I doubt are on the two deep.
- I think Herndon will redshirt. If Gaines gets hurt I wouldn't be surprised to see Line move there.
- Xavier Castille and Darius Joseph are two very different players... I would be surprised to see them at the same spot in the WR depth chart.
- If Colbert is equal to Hicks I wonder if you redshirt Hicks to get another year from him.
- Lawler ahead of Seals at DE. Seals and Nabusoshi will be pass rush specialists if the Scotts don't play DE. Lawler has the body for a full time DE, Seals doesn't.
- Hollie vs Minor vs Green at the DT depth chart is interesting. Hollie showed some things in the Spring, I wonder if Green really has passed him?
- Longoria plays the Will just like Yenga and Mitchell. Yenga starter, one of the other two is the backup.
- MLB is Rhone and Horton battling it out.
- Star is Shaq with Williams or one of the Scotts backing up. Personally, I would love to see us move Rhone to Star and let Horton play MLB with Shaq at safety because it helps safety. But I haven't heard of that move...
- Jeanlys is backing up Horace at corner, and Montgomery is fighting with Montes on the other side. AJ Justice is backup strong behind Darrion. Castle was starting at Free going into the Fall, but that is where I hope Rodney Clemons, David Johnson or Burton could help.

I think Rhone is playing the star and Horton is playing at a linebacker spot. And he does not start out the article by saying Line does not start, he starts out talking about 3 key storylines. I think Biggurs could see time at DE. Should be interesting when the official 2 deep list comes out.

So you have heard that there is a position switch of Rhone to Star and Shaq to Safety? I haven't been to a practice or a scrimmage to see for myself; the only reason I would have thought otherwise is that from the last competition video that was shared, Castle looked like he was still running first team safety and I thought I saw Shaq on a blitz. It would also surprise me a little because Rhone played MLB in this defensive scheme in high school, which is one of the reasons he was asked to call plays in the spring...

Shaq and Rhone may be playing star. At least for now. Anything can change between now and opening day though. As far as Michael Scott play the star because I don't think you will see a 250 star. You have to be able to cover at the star.

I know, doesn't make sense to me either, I just know that both Scotts were practicing there for at least a few sessions.
