Potential Two Deep lets discuss

Rather frierson start than carter.

I’m not sold Roche starts over Phillips this year, Roche is a pretty small de at 6’3 235. It really don’t matter when you think about it as all the edge rushers will play a lot especially the top 4

I feel Payton will start w Harley...who else will start? Unless Pope learns to fight for the ball, And start to get some yac , I don’t see him more than a #3. Wiggins needs to play to his size. Redding seems like a dog who will pass them on the depth chart.

You are correct sir. Roche is not starting over a healthy Phillips. Maybe on planet Xandar or Vormir does a Non Power 5 player start over a Healthy Phillips. Not this one.

I think Payton will start by years end. Also would not be shocked to see every starting over brooks. He’s that athletic and fast. Don’t sleep

I would put Avantae as the nickel behind couch and have Marcus Clarke as my primary returner with Pope or restrepo as the backup.

think you hit on everything else imo

Tae Williams ain't no CB bruh, especially at Nickel.

He's a FS 1,000% all the way, putting him at CB would be neutralizing his ability, doesn't have the fluidity & change of direction to be a NCB, has very good straight line speed & raw natural athleticism to be a Rover Safety.

Biggest concerns looking at this:
  • Whose the alpha at WR? Whose the guy that can takeover a game or move the chains? Not sure we have one yet...
  • The quality depth at offensive line is terrible. We are really F'ed if Gaynor or Scaife get hurt.
  • The CB depth is still pitiful. Relying on two freshmen, one who hasn't played CB much, to be in the two deep is awful. Do better coaches.
  • We need someone to step up and be a game breaker returning punts and kicks. We've had some good ones in the past with Berrios, Osborn, and Jeff (sometimes).

1) Wiggins, Pope & Payton will be IMO.

2) Agreed OL depth is atrocious, our 2-deep is terrible, we have 3 guys in Herbert, Hillery & Dykstra who couldn't block a knat with a screen door & if anybody gets hurt at OL we're royally screwed. Desperately need a GT OT.

3) Agreed again. I've been screaming about CB depth all year, that's why I laugh at anybody that thinks "we're just fine bro!" at CB having only 4 CB's for Spring & having to rely on 2 TF's for depth both of whom will Summer/Fall adds & one of them has to literally be taught how to play CB at the college level... Oh and our starting CB2 opposite of Blades has now recovery speed whatsoever, gets beat routinely & has poor technique. Would be stupid to not add a GT CB after Spring. Hopefully Meiko Dotson or Christian Holmes 🙏🏾.

4) I think Harley could do well as a PR & I'm hoping Knighton gets a shot as a return man, he could be potentially really good at it if they trust he'll never drop the ball.
 
Donaldson will never start in this offense. You really think a fat slob will him will consistently be able to run hurry up high tempo every snap. Not happening.
He needs to slim down to 320. Let’s see if he recognizes that his NFL future is about to crash and burn unless he controls his natural girth. He’s literally eating himself out of millions of dollars.
