2023 Depth Chart Talk

Dom Davis, he's gotta be pushing 30 lol

Lol - yeah not sure why I thought he might still be around…

My main concern for what's returning... doesn't include incoming freshman. We are small in our front 7.

Averages

• DE - 6'2" 233
• DT - 6'2" 272
• LB - 6'1" 216

On the benchwarmers, they talked about how Quinn moved to offence strategically because they wanted to be smaller on the DL. This was a tragic mistake in my opinion.

If I remember right, the idea was to get smaller and faster so we could defend the read option/running QB offenses better. Well, I am not sure we were able to do that plus now we get pushed around by the power run game. I guess that's an argument for not reinventing yourself when you're on top (despite my agreement in another thread with what the Georgia coach said about changing to stay on top).

I agree. How many read option teams actually beat us over the years when we had a big line? 1 or 2? Guarantee our D-line cant stop the SDSU power runs. Heck they struggled with Drakes run game

How good did our small quick line work against UIW?

Smaller quicker linebackers makes sense, but a small d-line and linebackers is a bad combo

Why not LB? Board had a somewhat similar body and we moved him to LB.

Not suggesting he can’t play his current position, just saying SS might be possibility.

My take on the depth chart with a couple position changes...

Huisman started every game as a redshirt Freshman after Eli Moestart got hurt and he played decent. He's got the best frame at 6-4, 279. A good offseason with Kramer, he could be good 290+ pound player with a ton of reps for a youg guy. Will is kind of a DE if he cant add weight like his brother, or maybe a passing down DT. He started as a DE but moved inside when his brother got hurt, more put of necessity and he was clearly too light. If he can add weight he could be as good as his brother inside. I mean he is a twin lol

We dont know what we have in Toby Anene yet but he looks like a man but McCaslin will be a stud if we can hit 240+. He came in at 222 which is a rag doll at this level. But Derrek Tuszka was almost identical as a true freshman and when he hit 240 he was a hell of a player

Someone like CAS should listen to Kirby Smarts pregame discussion from the other night about what he changed on his defense to make it better. But I think the main thing they did Is actually beef up the middle which is our weakness.

I def missed him on the depth chart, but he started zero games. But did play his best football in the playoffs.

Strategery

N. An ill-conceived and/or poorly-executed plan of action by meatheads (which would be considered "strategy" were it not so ill-conceived and/or poorly-executed).
