Week 1 Depth Chart Predictions

The disrespect of Don Chaney.... healthy which he is is the best back on the team!!
Agree, but maybe ease him into it so he's ready for the big games and gets used to the speed of the game again. Parrish is ready to go no doubt so let him establish his rhythm early.

We're just talking game 1, right? I believe a lot of battles will go on and mid-season will be very different. My edits in Red.


Players I expect/hope will make moves from 2nd To 1st Team:
* Kelly (to 1st Team)
* Bissainthe (to 1st Team)
[BGCOLOR=initial]* Bain (who will start 3rd team but may climb 1st Team by end of season)[/BGCOLOR]

Players I expect/hope will make moves from 3rd to 2nd Team:
* Fletcher
* Ray Ray
* Kinsler
[BGCOLOR=initial]* Jayden Wayne[/BGCOLOR]
[BGCOLOR=initial]* Chase Smith[/BGCOLOR]
we have a whole camp coming up. play the freshman, start the freshman , start the best people, need to use this game as practice, full game, get as much practice as possible with our best players and talents for first game to prepare them!!! unlike last year we wasted the game 1

Bain - start him, Rare elite talent
malik Bryant 2nd team - Easy!

committee RB - play all of them - chaney and fletcher highest ceiling - c johnson sleeper

cb's and wr's up for grabs
 
- Harvey is pretty average, or inconsistent might be the better word. I expect Kelly to beat him out.
- Deen and Taylor inside
- I don’t think there’s a real RB1 right now - I expect a three-headed carousel until someone separates themselves.
- “Bold” prediction is Cooper beats out Rivers inside.
Agreed on cooper I love rivers but cooper gives so real big inside power at RG
 
Not even close on the DL. That OL could be very good. They could be and honestly should be. Can't wait for the season to start.
I think the oline will be very good, hopefully zion is ready. The chemistry needs to be built in the fall. Agreed on dline, think its a good unit tho I expect a leap from lt and I think njalik will be impactful

The DL is a better unit then they were last year. I think Nyjalik will certainly be another step along in his development but I don't think this year is his coming out party. I think 2024 will be when Kelly really comes into his own and becomes a dominant force but that's not to say he won't be impactful at times. I think that Reuben Bain is going to shock a lot of people and that it won't take very long for him to claim a starting spot.
 
Rotation on the defensive line makes the term “starter” kind of meaningless. I guess if you’re just deciding who’s going to play the first snap on defense. Who’s playing will be very much situational. Also, I’m not penciling Moten or Horton in as a starter just because they fit the typical 1 tech body size. Remember, Guidry is coming from Marshall where he didn’t have the luxury of designing a defense around 320 lb tackles. It’s very much the opposite of Kevin Steele who just wanted 4 behemoths on the line.

Agreed, i dont think bain will start but i do think he will be in the rotation early.
