My Depth Chart 2021

No way one of JHH or Nesta is not starting, they are our best defensive linemen. Coaches probably want one of the bigger guys (Miller or Ford) with them to stop the run, so they both won't be starters, but one will and both will play a ton.

I agree. That top4 will play a ton

I swear there is an obsession on this board with players that posters do not like.

Two deep? They will both be starting

why make this comment? Are you trying to get people riled up by acting like a contrarian ******* or do you really believe they will be starting. If you really beleive it, then put your money where your mouth is and agree to a 1 month suspension if Wiggins and Pope do not both start against Bama as you have predicted. And if you don’t believe they will both start, don‘t be that guy

It’s their sole reason for being here.

Based on everything I have heard about Fall camp I thought I would crank out a depth chart just for the heck of it. Most of the following is a reflection of how I think these battles will shake out based on information from here. Some however (Depth at DE) will be what I would like to see or what I think would be a good idea.
OFFENSE
QB. D'erique King/Tyler Van Dyke/Jake Garcia
RB. Cam Harris/Don Chaney/Jaylan Knighton/Cody Brown/Thad Franklin
LT. Zion Nelson/DJ Scaife
LG. Jalen Rivers/ Justice Oluwaseun
C. Corey Gaynor/Cleveland Reed
RG. Navaughn Donaldson/Ousman Traore
RT. Jarrid Williams/DJ Scaife
TE. Will Mallory/Elijah Arroyo/Dom Mamerelli
WR. C. Rambo/Mike Redding/Romello Brinson
SlotWR. Mike Harley/X. Restrepo/Mark Pope/D. Wiggins
WR. Keyshawn Smith/Jacolby George/B. Smith

DEFENSE
DE. D. Johnson/Zach McCloud/Sam Brooks
DT. Jordan Miller/Nesta Silvera/Quinton Williams
DT. Jon Ford/Jared Harrison Hunte/Leonard Taylor*
DE. Jafari Harvey/Chantz Williams/Elijah Roberts
STR. Gil Frierson/Amari Carter/Chase Smith
MLB. Corey Flagg/T. Austin-Cave*/B. Jennings
WLB. Keontra Smith/W. Steed/Avery Huff
S. Bubba Bolden/K. Kinchens/B.Balom
S. Gurvan Hall/James Williams*/K. Washington
CB. T. Stevenson/Isaiah Dunson/Al Blades
CB. DJ. Ivey/TeCory Couch/ Marcus Clarke
NB. TeCory Couch/Marcus Clarke

This is a talented, experienced and somewhat deep team that should win 10+ games this season including post season.

QB is rock solid and this is the best top 3 Miami has had since the 80's. King is a special player and leader.
RB is loaded. Enough said.
WR is loaded. Much of that is based on projections of fulfilled potential like Redding, K.Smith, X and the 3 freshman but Im still saying we're loaded. That's a ton of speed and talent.

OL should be very good and improved. There is a ton of experience here but depth took a hit with Clark recovering from injury and Campbell out for the season. There is some very intriguing young talent for the future here. Walker, Rodriguez, Washington, McLaughlin and Seymore will be fun to watch to see how they develop.

TE is in great shape with Mallory and Arroyo

As long as the OL does its job this offense should crank out yards and points. Overall this will be an exciting up tempo pass first offense with a ton of weapons. Expect to score and score a lot.

The DE position is a bit up in the air but I believe that this workmanlike group will get better and better throughout the season. They are young and unproven for the most part but there is some talent here without question. This group will benefit greatly from Simpson's coaching and ability to develop players.

Elijah Roberts needs to move to DE full time for this year. He is desperately needed there. Some may disagree but I believe that the staff should move Sam Brooks to DE immediately. I think that the depth situation demands it and I think that Brooks could find a permanent home there. Brooks excels at rushing the passer and in pursuit plus he has put on some very good weight, muscle and strength. Brooks to DE would consist of a situational role as a pass rusher this season. Next off season he can focus on putting on more weight and learning the finer points of the position.

The DT rotation is very solid and experienced. Leonard Taylor will take the group to another level. It wont take long for Taylor to claim a starting spot. I made an edit here because apparently the starting 2 seem to be Ford and Miller for now. Expect the competition at DT to be absolutely insane both leading up to and during the season. Expect different starting combinations until Simpson/Diaz figure out what works best.

The LB position is still a bit shaky and is in a state of transition but like the defense as a whole I expect this group to get better and better as the season goes on. Keontra Smith will solidify WLB. My big take here is Tirek Austin-Cave will take the starting job at MLB at some point during the season if he can stay healthy. Before he got hurt he was coming on like nobody's business which may have been the best news I heard all camp. Flagg, Steed, Huff and Jennings provide depth with Flagg most likely starting at MLB at the beginning of the year.

The Striker position is deep with Frierson, Carter and Smith.

Safety is a deep position. Bolden is the alpha here. James Williams will take Hall's job before the end of the season.

CB boasts a very good and experienced group in Stevenson, Ivey, Couch and Blades. Dunson and Clarke are excellent depth. Stevenson is the lynchpin here. Look for Ivey to surprise many this year. Look for Couch to have a huge season. Keep an eye on Marcus Clarke. That kid can play.

Overall the best team Miami has fielded in 15+ years. 10+ wins is a must.

But why? DE we are going to be fine at. We don’t need a healthy Brooks 3rd on death chart at de
Click to expand...
My reasoning was that Brooks doesn't seem to be doing much at LB and when he came in for the fall he really looked like he had put on some good weight. I know that he excelled as a edge player in HS so I thought it might be a good move. I know we have some good players at DE but it just seems like we are in need of more depth. I wrote that post after Fishman was getting 2nd team reps so maybe I overreacted. I still think it might be an idea to tinker with come next spring. The bottom line is that Sam Brooks has a certain skill set that has not been taken advantage of by this staff yet. I would rather he try his hand at DE then waste away at 3rd string MLB.

I agree with everything, but I’ll keep brooks at LB. he and smith can be our best duo, but that’s it brooks is healthy IMO.

Manny has brought some good coaches in. Idk if he could recruit players, but I’m pleased with the position coaches he’s brought in.

We have depth, players, and coaching. Bama going to be in for a surprise.

Can’t argue with either depth chart you guys posted. It’s becoming clear who’s going to start at most positions and there likely won’t be any surprises come week 1. What I’m interested in is how they’re going to work some of the younger guys into games. It’s obvious that James Williams and Leonard Taylor are a different breed. Even if they’re not 100% ready to play full time, they need to be in heavy rotation. I can’t imagine Manny using a third down pass rush package that doesn’t include LT. His quickness for a 300 pounder is something we haven’t had in a long time. I get the Miller/Ford/Silvera combination because those guys bring a lot of strength and experience against the run but man, Taylor is that guy who can make an immediate impact rushing the passer.

Regarding Leonard Taylor, what I think is going to happen is that from the first time he sees the field against Alabama its going to become obvious to the staff that Taylor needs to play as much as possible and that it will be literally impossible to keep him off the field.

I thought your depth chart was about what you heard from camp, not just wishful thinking.

If you read my entire post then you would know that I specifically said that most is from what we have been hearing but putting Brooks at DE was something that I thought could be a good move.

Brooks was the only one I did that with and it had absolutely zero effect on the depth chart since he is currently running 3rd at Mike. Not sure but I believe I put him 3rd or 4th at one of the DE spots. Harmless stuff my friend. Trust me I didn't affect the delicate balance of the universe by making that suggestion. Everything is going to be ok.
 
You got Ivey, Ford, Hall, and McCloud starting on the field at the same time lol…. 6-7
