Wow, just realized Austin Fort moved to TE

Mon Apr 13, 2015 3:59 pm

Holy hell, our DBs are all redshirt freshmen. Well mostly

Too much goofing around in the QB room.

Safety spot is young and inexperienced, but has upside even if there will be some obvious growing pains.

Starting LBs: 196 lbs, 211 lbs, 214 lbs.

Appleby is 260 lbs again. They need to weigh him when he didn't just crap out a baby-sized turd.

Nobody over 300 lbs on the starting OL.

I hope these guys are lightening quick, cause this is a light group.

Didn't someone post last year that this guy was gonna be the startin' QB? I know who said it, I'm just messin' with him.

I don't think the weights of the players has been updated. Otherwise Ryan Cummings has not lost or gained a single pound since last season. And Appleby weighed 260lbs going into LAST season and had stated he wanted to hit 280lbs by the end of the season. So I'm not taking the listed weights at face value. Remember how Patrick Mertens was listed as 6'5 285lbs for 2 years straight when he looked closer to 310lbs last year? Yeah.

Though Fort moving to TE is different, if he has the hands, I'm fine with it.

I don't think weights have been updated. And, many teams these days are going with more defensive backs. The size at LB is slightly concerning, but that doesn't matter if they can shed blocks.

The Denver broncos normally don't have Olinemen over 300. Size doesn't matter that much.

I agree. Just the other day Eddie was saying Kongbo is in the 270 range and can outrun most of the defense.

Has to be. Appleby has a special gift we all wish we had if he can consistently gain and lose weight that often lol.

More concerned if he can block. Lotsa double TE formations as I recall.

A couple names I am not familiar with at all: Adam Pilpal and Anthony McKransky. Aren't these guys walk-ons?

Mon Apr 13, 2015 4:39 pm

So we have a defensive tackle who is suddenly going to play (and start no less) on the offensive line, and three safety-sized linebackers. Position switches everywhere. This does not bode well. I think the defense is going to be worse than last year, which I didn't even think possible.

OMG.

I knew it would look ugly, but with all those that are out for spring, it is REALLY ugly.

If this were the fall depth chart, in late August, I would change my prediction to 2 wins.

Mon Apr 13, 2015 4:53 pm

It is very early and walk ons listed as starters could be a scare tactic and guys that are injured are not listed.

Lots of people moving around Fort to TE... Connor Cain moved to Defense, Nzechoa and Kamana to LB, One that could pay off is Brinkley Jolly to OT from TE. When he was signed he was thought to be a very athletic 6'5, if he is a quick learner and in fact really athletic he could be a good DE. I wouldn't look too much into who is listed as a starter and who isn't I am more interested in who is playing what position.

The coaches are certainly not afraid to move anyone around.

Remember DJ May is still recovering from Injury but I do believe he will be the starting safety baring a freshman just blowing his doors off.

I'm concerned with the CB's I really thought we would see Tyran Finley & Ryon’e Winters starting across from each other. Now that this depth chart has been released I'm less confident in a stronger secondary.

I'm sure come fall it will be Ryon'e Winters ( still recovering from injury) and Tyran Finley ( disciplinary action ). These two are just out for a short spell. May will be a nickel and I think the other Florida kid will be the safety. I've heard the walk on safety( Pilapil) is pretty damn good too. I seriously believe that our secondary will much better this year. The Linebackers will probably be getting their asses kicked all year, but the D line has some players.

I think priester will be opposite of Finley. He's not listed because of injury (same for Muhammad, he'll definitely be starting at one of the linebacker spots)

Adam is a great athlete. He came as a preferred walk on at the WR spot. His best attribute is his IQ...he is very smart. The Wr spot is really thin. I hope the new recruits can learn the offense in a hurry, but unless they are above the norm that is going to be a struggle.

Yep, it was 2 players on the team, one of which is listed as a weak side LB.

Yep, and some people think we can beat Wazzu still. Lol.
