I think we'll be fine at LB. Those guys have all shown the speed to be excellent in kickoff coverage and I like that they are giants compared to past guys like 5'7.5" Slaughter and Truman.

Maybe by height, by like a few inches? Slaughter is 5'10 227 and Truman is 5'11 218.

I'll give you speed.

No joke, I guess the rumors were true. Not a ton of depth there either

Personally, I'm a little surprised that goolsby is starting as the other safety. A lot of the talk that I heard indicated that it was more between Walker and McPhereson.

Personally, I'm a little surprised that a KSU fan is a little surprised by a Snyder depth chart.

That's fair. Still didn't expect to see Goolsby.

I think they're looking to replace Barnett's ability to get players in the right position more than raw ability.  I'm not sure they view Adams in that role, at least not compared to Goolsby.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Walker be the first player to ascend on the depth chart if the defense isn't lining up right.

So, you're saying that the guy that's been a safety for less than a year is the guy on the defense that's supposed to get everyone lined up, instead of the guy that's been starting at safety for 2 years, and played the position all throughout his college career? Not really buying that.

I think that it's simply that Goolsby has shown enough, and has been in the playbook longer than Walker. I do agree with your premise that Walker will be in that spot quickly if Goolsby doesn't play assignment sound. Hopefully Walker is all caught up by conference play.
