Depth Chart for football

[Bull Martin]

I believe White's going to be the starter at QB and he will play well.  Bench will back up and Flowers will red-shirt.  White's the guy.

[Calibull]

QB Mike White, Steven Bench

RB Tice, Pierre, and Johnson (Johnson will be starting before the 6th game)

FB Swanson

LG - Thor, Hall

LT -Williams, Amichia

C - Reiter, Ruff

RT - Gundsmundson, Djulbegovic

RG - Eatmon, Threatt

TE - Mcfarland/Price/Pope

WR - Davis, Adams, Bronson 

WR - Dunkley, McCants, Welch

 

4-3 WE DON'T RUN THE 4-3 AND LIKELY NEVER WILL AGAIN CONSIDERING TAGGART IS A 3-4 COACH.  WE ONLY REAN IT LAST SEASON BECAUSE OF THE DEFENSIVE PERSONNEL.

I'm pretty sure that I'm right with the starters.  I could be off on the depth chart a bit with the incoming freshman.  But the ones that were here for spring ball... I'm confident I go those accounted for correctly. 

 

I'm not sure what cool aide people have been drinking of Bench but he's not going to start.  He had a good spring game but he was a pick 6 machine for most of the spring and was outplayed.  He'll push White, but White is going to start.

[Calibull]

Id hope to see big James Hamilton and Deadrin Sennat pushing for a spot at DT this year.

We run the 3-4 now there are no DTs... A nose tackle.. aka NG... but no DT.  We'll probably not see the 4-3 again while Taggart is our coach.  He doesn't normally run it.  He ran it last season because of personnel, but it's not what he does.  

[Calibull]

Mike white looked significantly better in drills at open practice. But that doesn't win games. Flowers is an interesting prospect at qb. Looked polished his senior year.

Flowers will not be able to learn this offense quick enough to be given a shot.  The only reason Bench and White played last season was because Bobby and Matt were absolutely terrible.  Flowers doesn't not need to be rushed.  White actually had a terrific spring and just an average spring game.  That was a mixed bag because you had Wulffe calling plays on one side and it showed.  When the 1s are running together with White they look terrific.  I've been to the practices and seen what the 1s look like and between White, Davis, Dunkley, Price, McFlarland,  Adams, and Welch they will be really good.  

 

If you're looking for guys to not redshirt on offense look at  the following names and plug where you may McCants, Bronson, and Johnson will not redshirt on offense.  They came in college ready.

 

Defense... You'll once again see a few freshman in the rotation.  Like Vincent Jackson, Black, Nichols, and Sawyer.  Just because they are college ready and really talented.  Also in positions of need for us.  We need their size, speed, and talent at the positions they play.

Semantics. A NT is technically a DT.

Taggart isn't really a defensive guy, though.  Coaching staff is on record as saying the reason they switched to 3-4 this year was because that is what they had the personnel for, and that decision will be a flexible one made based on what scheme they have the personnel for.  (Quite a contrast from the offensive strategy...)

[Bull Martin]

I believe we'll see a much more even mix of 3-4 and 4-3 than some of you guys think.  Maybe a 60/40 split between the two (not considering any other nickle or dime packages we put in)

Bresnahan has run the 3-4 every place he's been at.  Last season was the first he didn't.  Also if you look at his earlier interviews when he first got in,  on Scout, 247, and rivals... the ones from last spring... when asked would in run the 3-4 he said personnel will dictate that.  He said with four stud ends you want to maximize their ability.  But he said we would be running it in the future.  Our defensive recruiting has been for the 3-4... has nobody not noticed?
