Bored on Saturday: Potential depth chart next year

[Vol865]

I like how Worley, the qb who had the most success this season, is 3rd string.

I like how worley, the QB who has been on campus 3 years, was only marginally better than the guy who arrived in january

Hey Bored Guy. How about another LB? We ain't playing a 10 man defense.

He was saying that 1 and 2 start. You are not to good at thinking outside the box are ya?

I fully expect Worley to start. Dobbs will likely be 4th string still.

It feels so good to see the name berry on the roster..

How many of the guys you are counting on have any experience in the SEC? How many have any more knowledge of the "system" than the mature guys they replace? The only guy you mention above who has proven he can play in the SEC is Saulsberry and Williams if you are talking about Jordan.

Fr replacing Srs... and once again, the "they haven't been in the system long enough" excuse/reason will be out there to explain them being out of position.

The secondary should improve but primarily because they return all four starters and should be able to bring a couple of others on the roster now along. Some newcomers will play but we all best hope they aren't the backbone of the secondary.

Like I said, still young at receiver and unsettled at QB.

The team may be better everywhere IF the coaches prove they can coach and develop players. They didn't do that in a way that produced tangible results this season.

"More talent" is based on recruiting rankings and development of talent that has not occurred yet. There's LESS experience by far.



Yeah... OK. More of that old excuse.

Coaches... coach. Great coaches... coach GREAT and it doesn't matter who recruited the players OR how much talent the player has. They improve them.

Ever heard of addition by subtraction? If a few of the incoming recruits can be as good a Sutton was this year our defense will get better. He was a freshman with no SEC experience yet still made a significant impact. And that was from a very average recruiting class. Just think of the talented EE's we have enrolling and and it's not hard to see how we will have better talent and depth across the board save for the OL.

This is my take:

QB: Ferg/Worley
RB: Lane, Hurd
TE: Helm, Bran
WR1: North, Malone
WR2: Pearson, Croom
Slot: Howard, Young
LT: Blair, Kendrick
LG: Jackson, Pair
C: Crowder, Thomas
RG: Weisman, Kendrick
RT: Kerbyson, Sanders

DE: Vereen, Lewis
DE: Lambert, Williams
DT: O'Brien, Clark
DT: Saulsberry, Carr
OLB: Maggitt, JRM, FR
MLB: AJ, FR
OLB: Weatherd, JRM, FR
CB: Jones, Williams, Payne
CB: Sutton, Foreman, Mosley
Nickel: Coleman, Gaulden
SS: McNeil (at least to start), McDowell
FS: Randolph, Kelly


I will note that I think if we get Bookser he starts Day 1 at RT. Kerbyson backs him up, Sanders/Kendrick are LT2.

Adoree' I think would definitely push for CB2 over Jones/Williams but he'd have time to make up. Remember both of those 2 were higher on the depth chart than Coleman was in Spring (Williams) and Fall (Jones). Jones wasn't injured but he missed too much time to be effective. A full Spring/Fall camp and I think Jones probably does secure CB2 opposite Sutton.
