false.

Josh Moore and Ray Cheatham are the starters at corner on the depth chart, not McKinney.

True, it's less of a knock on the starters than a sign of my disappointment of not seeing him start. Hopefully he'll still play a lot, I'm looking forward to seeing him play.

[The Manhatter]

Cheatham only half the dream.

Noticed that Tigner listed at 219 lbs.  Ummmm...

Your OL is scary deficient in talent and depth. Not even anyone listed behind Alesana. You better hope Cline is all world because if you put a 266 lb NT in a 3-4 defense they WILL be carting him off the field on a stretcher.

Thanks for the advice.  It was read and ignored.

[fatty fat fat]

James Johnson. Christ.

[Maxell]

Well of course. If you took a hard look at your OL, it would realistically destroy any sugar plum dreams you have of reaching San Antonio this year. I'm also surprised they put Patterson the strong side behind Campbell. At 205, it looks like he should be playing S not strong side linebacker in a 3-4.

O...M...G!!!!!!!

 

[fatty fat fat]

holy crap. we basically have one senior offensive starter (nelson), and only 4 sr defensive starters.

[fatty fat fat]

our receivers are awful. gonzo still a starter.

[ksuno1stunner]

our receivers are awful. gonzo still a starter.

I bet Ernie ( ) eventually takes it.  LaMark FTW next year.

[Legore]

I'm actually encouraged by our OL.  Handy, Rooker, Robinson all guys that started multiple games last year and none are starting this year.  Handy and Rooker didn't make the two deep so obviously the bar to get on the field is being raised in that group.  Depth at left tackle is a concern obviously but we have a number of guys that have played tackle before ie Unruh, Rooker, Spexarth plus Liu so it's not as bad as this depth chart makes it out to be. 

Front 7 on D about what you would have expected depth at NG is a concern.  Crews and Stewart need to step up Balkcom is too small they had him cut weight to play DE in the off season and then Moran leaving has forced him to move back inside.  Other then that the front 7 looks good to me and the secondary is a beast.  Only surprise is Garvin is not on two deep after word was he was having a good camp and was the third corner.  I wonder if he's not hurt but the good thing is that is one place we can afford an injury.  Erker not on two deep shows that the bar has been raised at the safety position talent wise.

I'm glad that's a typo.

QF'F'ing'T

[catdude33]

He did save us in that Marshall game though.

[FBWillie]

no, whoever tipped the ball at the line of scrimage saved our asses against marshall.   Mckinney was just in the right "out of position" place at the right time.

[kougar24]

He did save us in that Marshall game though.

Marshall's dumbass coach/QB combo saved us, actually.

[The Manhatter]

Well of course. If you took a hard look at your OL, it would realistically destroy any sugar plum dreams you have of reaching San Antonio this year.

And this is based on?  Assumptions, beliefs, hopes, dreams, and/or fantasies?  Any proof you can submit to substantiate your claims?
