  • Just had a conversation with Vamp about this today... what's your 2-deep? I know we've gone through this before but I was too lazy to look up the old thread.

    DE: Cameron Meredith, Joe Carter
    DT: Baker Steinkuhler, Thad Randle
    DT: Chase Rome. Tobi Okuyemi
    DE: Jason Ankrah, Eric Martin

    Buck: Zaire Anderson, Sean Fisher (could be flipped early in the season but I see Anderson taking over quickly)
    Mike: Will Compton, Trevor Roach
    Will: Alonzo Whaley, David Santos

    CB: Andrew Green, Stanley Jean-Baptiste
    CB: Mo Seisay, Antonio Bell

  • Seems to be about right. I think Santos will challenge for a starting role also. The other fantasy I have is SJB starting opposite of Mo. That would be some BIG DBs. I was impressed with Osborne 2 seasons ago. If he shows up healthy there may be a starting role for him as well.

  • Gopher- Are you suggesting Osborne would start over Stafford at some point?

    Wouldnt change a thing, this is how i see it playing out as well. Zaire will probably take fishers spot by confrence play or maybe sooner. I have no confidence in Fischer, but hope he proves me wrong. The DT spot will probably see alot of rotation early on getting reps to everyone. Im really wondering if Kevin Williams is at 265, if so you gotta wonder how much action he will see. I really have high hopes for Williams, and Peat.

    Tobi has yet to emerge. I think that Guy or Peat will be at the backup, with probably both getting PT.

    Zaire could end up at WILL, with Whaley at Buck w/Fisher, he has better speed, although Zo has really slimmed down.

    from my understanding Zo moved to Will because they thought he would do best there. Anderson will be a great strong-side LB... Fisher will get lost in the shuffle, he's too tall, not quick enough and can't tackle well in space. IMO, should have been a TE his entire career.

    I like this list it seems probable that it will end up this way. I do think Santos will have a solid year and may compete for a starting role. Other than that I might switch out Tobi for Guy...would have Peat there but given his health issues its hard to tell where hes at right now.

    Guy has just never impressed me... I suppose Kevin Williams might make a push but I seriously think Okuyemi will impress some people... there's a reason he was moved inside. Also, along with the Fisher discussion, I know the injury was awful and he will be better than last year but to say he was a fine LB before his injury is really difficult to agree with.

    To be honest we never really saw much of Fisher prior to his injured season... as a Fr he redshirt... RS-FR he played but not overwhelmingly well... injured Soph year and then was about 60% last year but still played for some reason. I have my doubts about him even without an injured leg.
