Green may well win the Heisman one day. I think Rawls starts. All will see action. Maybe they'll go with the hot hand?

Freddie? Is that you?

The ghost of Beano Cook says he will win 2

Any chance we will see a 3-4 D? Seems our personnel is more equipped to play in that system

IMO, not until we can settle on three DL who can, consistently, pressure the opposing QB, without blitzing all the time!! Think we're getting there

That is the thing, in a 3-4 you do not necessarily need to rely on the defensive line for pressure. Black seems like a prototypical 3-4 DE, I don't have many reservations about Clark playing as the other end in a 3-4. My only concern if we went to a 3-4 is if QW could handle playing the zero technique.

Like MF4L's suggestion about moving Morgan to MLB & having him battle Bolden...but don't want to take the starting WLB spot from Morgan, either.

I also like Rawls, jsj_297...a lot...and see him being a more productive back this coming season.

Guess I'm placing too much thought on Bryant being the starting RG...hey, if Ben Braden is that good, I'm all for starting him! It's nice to have some options on the OL, too!

I do. We need to get faster and more athletic on defense and moving Morgan allows us to. There's no rule against playing multiple guys but we NEED Biggs Ross on the field.

Morgan's main issue as a player is once he gets blocked, he's done. He hasn't shown the moves or strength to shed blocks. That's not a HUGE problem at the WILL spot, since Mattison's defense is designed to have the WILL unblocked to make plays, but if he were to move to the MIKE, that'd be a problem he'd have to correct.

Regardless, I think (and hope) Bolden has the MIKE spot locked up for the next three years. Morgan is very rarely out of position, he's a very instinctual player, but that's Biggs' best asset too, and he's on an entirely different level than Morgan, athletically. It's splitting hairs, really, since we rotate so much at LB (as well as on the DL); I think we'll see Ryan locked down at SAM (obviously), Bolden at MIKE, and Morgan and Ross basically serving as co-starters at WILL. Against straight ahead teams like MSU and Iowa, Morgan will probably see a little more time, while Ross will see more against spread teams like Northwestern and Ohio State.

Just curious where Ryan is on your line up. I know speed rules these days, but having great knowledge/instincts is just as valuable imo, and he has plenty of both. Speed doesnt always make up for misreading plays, and being sucked into PA, etc etc. Great for sealing edges though, cant argue that. Not trying to start an argument here.

Jake Ryan is my starting SAM LB...not to mention, my favorite defensive player...and I expect him to continue to get better. If there's one issue I have with Jake "Thor" Ryan, it's that his overexuberance can lead to missing tackles or over-running a play!

Hey, I hope both Bryant and Braden are 100% and able to start......Thats a GOOD problem to have!!!

Every report ive read, says Braden is likely to start somewhere with a good spring performance......Have quality 2 deep is a very nice change of pace imo.

Wolv07, I agree, I think Rawls will benefit from another year of strength training, learning the plays better, and just more reps....Watch out if this kid puts it all together, cause we go deep even after him!!!

If Frank Clark is really up to 274 as Mattison said the other day, he's your SDE, with Beyer/Ojemudia on the other side. Black will stay inside.

Rumor is Braden is going to move inside to guard.

Ross and Morgan will likely get the infamous "OR" on the depth chart all season at the WILL spot.

I'll personally be surprised if Dymonte starts right away. I think Gordon slides over to Kovacs' old spot and Jarrod Wilson starts at FS. Dymonte enrolling early is big, but he's never played safety before.

Like Beyer & Ojemudia but IMO Black, with his speed, would be more effective as an edge rusher...it is nice to finally have some options on the DL, though

Its nice to have quality depth......even if it is still young. Besides the interior line battle, the LB corps is the most interesting to me.....nice to have so many options.

I believe I saw a projected line up with Ryan not in there, r u serious?
