Rocky Top Talk: Depth chart projections

[kamoshika]

Through one week and one scrimmage of fall camp, you can get a sense of Tennessee's personnel beginning to take shape. Although Butch Jones doesn't appear to be a big fan of official depth charts and has adopted a silent stance on injuries this fall, between the lines it sounds like the Vols now have a pretty good idea who will be in the mix when Utah State comes calling on August 31.

In our attempt to make a mock depth-chart, there are several and/ors in here. With a team so unproven that's unavoidable; so far fall camp has been more about who can help right now and less about whether they'll help with the first or second team in several spots. Still, as you'll see, with so few seniors listed here there is plenty of fluidity in the two-deep; so many newcomers could be a curse in August but a blessing by November.

Worried about maggit holding up during the season. He had trouble with injuries playing linebacker, one would think playing every down against bigger guys at d-end is going to lead to more injuries.

I hope the guys who start on d that play special teams don't become worn down. I believe having AJ and other starters on d fresh throughout the season will lead to 1 more win.

7 wins is a real possibility for this team. Coach jones will get us to 7 wins and he may get us to 8.

Spot on, minus Elliott moving to LB.

 

[OH-Vol]

I thought it was mentioned that Hendrix was moving inside?

 

[JL 103]

I like the depth chart. I think it will be different by the end of the season when the freshmen start to take over their roles. But for September its not that bad of a lineup.

 

[Biopsyman]

This is what most of have projected

Speculated early, but Fall Camp has shown that he and Barnett will stay outside.

RE: Special teams.

I hope our kickoff squad gets flat worn out...while our punting team remains fresh as a daisy.:rock:

VFE

Ah, business class cookie monster.

"on a scale of 1 to Dooley" lol

 

[ItsAllVols]

Just wondering if the extra weight may caused CM more issues than what its worth, since now we know some of the frosh are showing they can preform at a higher level.

 

[VolBricks]

Did Pig take too much time off and lose his spot?

It lists him or Von in the slot. And they will likely share a lot of reps regardless of who actually starts

Not this year

 

[Orange Blazer]

Pretty accurate

Compared to what?

 

[ajvol01]

He's already been moved there. He played OLB last night

That's what he was saying. The article had him at CB

 

[MannyD]

My goodness. This team is losing Worley, Lane, and AJ to graduation. That's it (sorry Coleman). Next year, it's goin down.

 

[Other_Guy]

Some obvious concerns but it gets me excited. Taking too long!
