Project Your 2015 Starters

[gostangs]

If Gresham is slower than Line our RB is not currently on the team. Hell, I'm faster than Line.

[blackoutpony]

Blah blah blah blah as usual Line starts at RB. Deal with it ladies
gresham is slower and smaller and klemchi is klemchi. Ideally Gresham or line move to lb. need some size and strength there.

How's Arkansas looking for next year?

[SMU404]

QB - HIcks
RB - Gresham
WR - Joseph, Sutton, Proche, Halverson,
TE - Gaines, Mcleneghen
OL - Weeks, Brown, Lasecki, McCarty, Briggs

DE - Pruitt, Seals
DT - Minor, Wood
LB - Yenga, Mitchell
DB - H. Richardson, Montes, D. Richardson, Randolph, Wyatt

Defensively I think SMU can transition well from the 3-4. 2-3 of those 6-5 260ish ends can probably bulk up into a 3 technique D Tackle guy who would be a little undersized but with quickness can do well in a one-gap scheme. The rest of that old DE crop can go at the strong side end. The bigger OLB's can bulk up into the Weakside DE 9 tech as they are already doing some similar things as edge guys at WLB in Mason's system.

Plenty of suitable guys are there for the two stack LB's. The LB/S hybrid guy could be a current DB or possibly an undersized LB with speed like Yenga if #'s of DB's or run support concerns dictate that a larger N/SS player is necessary. Really the way Mason used the SLB and Nickel player were pretty similar in that they were both the guy widening out over a slot WR much of the time. I could see this guy being anywhere from 180 to 220 depending on where they feel they need to put limited #s of DB players and how much size they need in run support they feel they need from that position and how much solo coverage they ask of him.

I will be really interested to see where Yenga, Minor, and Randolph end up. Each could play 2-3 spots.

Halverson is just a body. Much rather give someone that has some true speed like maybe Jordan Ingram or (hopefully) Xavier Castille. If you're under 6 foot you better be able to run like hell to play in this offense.

I know Prescott has his struggles, but those of you who are eager to run him off of campus might want to remember his brother had a great deal of success here, is in the pros, and P Line was thought of as having more potential.

There is no reason to not have him compete at RB, FB, TE, and/or LB. If he has the work ethic his older brother had, I bet he finds some way to get on the field.

I don't think that hybrid spot will be the problem. Mason always tried to use certain types of players in that spot, and I think Morris will upgrade it my moving more athletic safeties in there, like a Randolph or D Rich. But LB is a bigger concern. Nobody stepped up to play well at either MLB spot this season.

Love the Line kids but there is no place in this offense for a 4.8 forty tailback. Sorry. If he can contribute on special teams and possibly at LB then he's doing good for his skill set. He should never see the field on offense ever again.

[ponyup2018]

I'd move Line to an inside linebacker (he has the right body type for a linebacker and is too slow to play RB in Morris's offense) and use Yenga as an outside backer. In terms of a running back, unless we add somebody between now and the beginning of camp (which is unlikely) Nlemchi and Gresham should split carries to start the season. Nlemchi has shown flashes of talent in limited playing time and Gresham was the prize of our recruiting class two years ago. I think we should give him a chance to get some carries before we write him off completely.

Pope, Nwosu, and Yenga were all good players prior to 2014 IMO. DL struggles may be the culprit here. I could see Horton, Yenga, or Tui fitting well in the new scheme.

[Stallion]

We don't really have OLB in the new defense. If we can find a better fit at ILB I'd at least like to try Yenga at the Hybrid Safety position in spring football. Admittedly, that may not be possible because he'd probably have to slim down and we don't have many quality ILB. But I just don't think Yenga is a tough nosed run stopper or hole filler like you need at ILB. See the great TCU ILB.
