Gayot was moved to LB

I know. I think that was a mistake. Kid has the ability to become a great safety imo, especially with the lack of depth we have in the secondary. I don’t expect him to be moved back to Safety, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

always a chance he could be moved

- I remember Richt being hard after Walton. I think he's going to take the #1 spot.
- I think Byrd starts opposite Corn week 1. He's elite and he's physically ready to step right in and go.
- I hope the freshmen WRs are ready to hit the ground running. That position sucks.

yep Im really hoping we can get back to playing the best guys regardless of age, unlike Shannon and Golden who had the seniority cause in full effect

The only positions locked in imo are:
QB- Kaaya
WR1- Coley
WR2- Cager (Would not be shocked to see Ahmmon Richards here some time in the season, but game 1 it's going to be Cager)
TE- Njoku, Herndon, Dobard will each have roles here. Obviously mainly Njoku in the pass game. Washington may see time as well
DE- AQM
OLB- Grace
CB- Elder

*I would say Thomas at DE and Willis at DT but I have no idea if that is where they will play. Willis will play for sure, if it's at DE, Chad is the reserve, if it's at DT then Chad starts as well. I'm sure Willis plays some DT but base defense I don't see it happening, but also I have no idea where he is in weight. If he's 285+ then it may be best to put him at DT and get all 3 on the field as much as possible.

*I know that safety will be a combo of Jaquan, Jenkins, and Carter could be any combo, depends on the matchup. We'll see a heavy dose of all 3

*Byrd could be the starting corner opposite of Elder, but I'm excited to see what Redwine can do. He's a big physical corner that can tackle. Should be excellent in Diaz's scheme. He doesn't need top end speed with the pass rush forcing the ball out quickly. Byrd has to prove he can be a consistent tackler in space at the college level first. That could be the game breaker. I have no idea though, haven't seen him live.

*Young is a great MLB but I think Shaq really pushes him to the end of camp and they both make each other better in the long run. Young ends up winning the job, but I expect to see a lot of Shaq as well.

*Owens would be my other OLB but as far as when he's fully cleared 100% I have no idea. It could be anyone there including Shaq or Mccloud seeing early time. I see Trent Harris working in at OLB and DE the entire year, just where ever he is needed. Mainly OLB until Owens is full go.

ill agree with alot of positions up for grabs. i won't agree thomas doesn't start at s de he is perfect for that spot in diaz d. he will be a terror playing the s de position. i see double digit sacks. he was best dl guy last year. had he been in a 1 gap attack down attack outside with speed type system he would of had double digit sacks last year.

chad thomas to me will be the biggest benificiary to the new d. he will be a terror on s de , with muhammed, smith, harris on rush de position willis, moten, jenkins norton inside. this dl could be special.

Not sure how you say he's the best DL we had last year. He had 15 tackles, 1 sack and maybe 2 tfl.

AQM was considered a LB but with the change of scheme I'll include him in DL talks, had 50 tackles, 5 sacks, 8 tfl. Not even close.

Kamalu was better than CT. Chad better figure out if he wants to be a rapper or a football player because I don't see him giving enough ***** about football right now to go anywhere. If Gerald willis is a DE he's starting in Chad's spot. If he's a DT then Chad will start.

Offense will be good if we get OL sorted out. Hopefully St. Louis can steal the LT spot and let Darling and Odogwu battle it out at RT.

We made Wazzu's front look like the Fearsome Foursome.

Any chance that Milo gets worked into the RT position? With Willis becoming eligible, the DL looks good, especially if Coach Kool lives up to his reputation. LB needs more depth. Any chance that Gordinier sees time as a backup at LB?

I think Gordinier starts!
 
I still believe Dobard will be the starter at TE with Herndon being the backup/Hback/2nd guy in 2 TE sets. Njoku will technically be listed as a TE but he's essentially a WR. The only time you'll see him inline is possibly goal line sets with 3 TEs. That said, he'll probably catch more passes than Dobard and Herndon together.

We need help at FS, SLB, SDE, and WR. I would like to see Bethel redshirted but i don't see how they will do it unless one of the WDE gets really strong and impressive at stopping double teams. Making that O-line though I am actually intrigued at how they will perform. Young but very raw talented group that can play guard and tackle. Just don't do what Kehoe did and move them from left to right, keep them on one side of the center. Man, a commitment from Jamel Cook, Ahmmon Richards, Romeo Finley, Jordan Woods, Pie, Latrell Williams would do wonders right now. Those guys can fill a lot of holes.

I put that there more for hope than anything else. I don't expect it unless we get three more receivers in this class.
