The last time I saw that many ors was at a rowing competition.

Interesting that Jakobe Thomas is slotted on the Safety side with Turrentine and not Brooks.

what a nothing burger lol

I think those safety spots are interchangeable, and they’re just trying to show they have 4 guys they’re comfortable with.

It’s actually a pretty decent group.
Turrentine looked like an All- Conference safety against IOWA.

Charles before his early injuries was about to push Tank out at starter. Then he needed to play CB, and he just never got the chance to really settle down at safety. He’s there now.

Thomas was really good for MTSU.

Brooks has the coaches trust.

This team looks very strong in almost every position group. If the secondary can just be average, this could be a very good season.

The offensive and defensive skill positions are what will swing it in my mind (I feel pretty confident that Nico will prove to be “him”). The wide receivers are a bit of an unknown outside of Squirrel and Bru. They could end up being middle of the pack or one of the best wr rooms in the conference. I’m hopeful it’s the latter.

On the other side, the secondary has lost a ton of experience but gained a lot of talent. There could be major growing pains, or they could play to potential and be a pretty solid compliment to the front seven (or six, as it were). I agree with you, could shape up to be a very good year. The question marks just make it more exciting, imo.

Hopefully, they work through their growing pains this weekend.

Hopefully, they work through their growing pains this weekend.

I think they’ll be better than most expect, especially as the year goes on. Facing McCall and Concepcion in the 2nd week will be a good test.

I could see Charles coming on as the season progresses.

I think I’d look like an all conference safety against Iowa

Says we are deep and plan on rotation to keep fresh.bodies into the 4th qtr.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

OAR!!!

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

In other words, we're not telling you damn it! Lol.

 

[farmdogvol]

This roster is so deep at D-line and WR.

 

[rdk4121]

Just like in years past, it might say OR, but whoever is listed first is actually the starter. Like no offense to Dayne Davis or Larry Johnson, but they're not starting over Campbell or heard. That does mean that Thornton is starting opposite Bru though, which is interesting.

 

[VOLfrombama]

Looks like we may see a 6 WR rotation.

I also wouldn't be surprised if LG was rotated between Karic,Lampley, and Sham to see who does better under the lights these first few games, esp since Karic really hasn't played much here.

LOL@theRBrotation

Safety is the weak link of this team.

 

[gobravesvols16]

That’s some big ol’ boys on that O line

 

[Volfan1000]

Brooks being the starter at safety over Charles is the biggest depth chart surprise to me.

 

[mitzustu]

Brooks being the starter at safety over Charles is the biggest depth chart surprise to me.

To me it’s Thornton over Brazzell. The order of names matters despite the “or”. That’s how we know Brooks will trot out there first

What? Who doesn’t have 5 first team running backs?

I will be thoroughly impressed if they all get over 500 yards rushing this season

 

[SobeVol]

Gotta get and keep this line healthy
