My reactions from the initial depth chart:
- All the "or"s hopefully mean we have good depth.
- No "or" next to JT...it seems the staff does not want him looking over his shoulder worrying about losing his spot right now and I think that is a smart approach with a young QB. Give him his confidence.
- The "or"s at OL are a tad disconcerting...on one hand, it could mean we just have great interior depth and I like that Boren initially won his spot. But I also hope the 5 that are starting can gel together in time.
- Shocked at Burrows over Bell. Every indication was that Bell had that spot locked down. Also intrigued by the Conley/Apple battle. Between those two position battles, I thin one or two will slide down to the Nickel in the place of Reeves...gets our best 5 DBs on the field imo.
- Not really surprised at the "or" next to Jalin and Dontre. Jalin has had an outstanding camp and even with the "or" designation, I suspect we will see them both on the field at times.
- What ever happened to James Clark? Was on the depth chart last year as a freshman and not this year, nor have I heard a peep on him in spring or summer. Hopefully he is just coming back slowly from his injury and will be ready to contribute next year with the departures of Spencer and D. Smith.
- RB was not a huge surprise for me, as I thought/hoped all of EzE/Smith/Samuel would get their touches. It will be exciting to see them rotate as a 3-headed monster...Bama has had a lot of success with this and I think we can too, especially with all the unique skill sets in there.
- Although Lee and Grant are listed the starters, I suspect we see McMillan and Worley (maybe Booker) get some snaps in there, especially since we will be playing our base 4-3 against Navy. Also interesting to not even see Hubbard on the depth chart.
- The "or" next to Schutt is just mad respect...sounds like the coaches were not kidding about how well he has been playing. Love to see that depth. Bummer to yet again not see Carter on the depth chart at DT though...on the plus side, Munger and Hill both being on there is encouraging. Also I expect Frazier and Miller to rotate 50/50 at the other DE spot.
- Surprised there is no "or" next to Spencer and C. Smith...I think that is just semantics, by all accounts C. Smith is supposed to be our go-to guy this year.
