A few things:
- We are really tall at WR. Moorhead likes the jump balls
- Love Brian Cole at kick returner
- Believe Mixon & Thomas could be fun at PR. Nice to see some explosiveness at that position
Hill getting the nod over A-train? I like it.
Fitz not playing?
ETA... I see thread now
There is an "or" & when there is an "or" they put the players in alphabetical orderQuote:

That one is curious.
I'm a little surprised to see Couch ahead of Jason.
Not true. See Austin Williams and Thomas or Osirus Mitchell and Jesse JacksonQuote:

That 12-man defense is going to give teams fits.
I'm more concerned with OL depthQuote:

James Jackson 2nd string DT. I know Cory Thomas isn't playing, but that's good to see for a RFr
I expect Kilby-Lane to contribute some this yearQuote:

I also see these big DB's that we have allowing us this luxury. All but one of our DB's is at least 6ft.
Exactly. Hell I would believe Sweat could too, if it came to that.Quote:

It's a typo. It also has him with 2 letters.Quote:

- Surprised to see Malik at the Z. Again, maybe I shouldn't be considering the log jam at the slot. I think that's a pretty good indication he has not come back from his injury. If he had reached his potential here, I don't think there'd be a way we could afford for him to not be on the field.
- Good to see O Mitchell claiming a starting spot, even if it's a 1a/1b situation with Jesse Jackson.
- Whop is maybe going to RS? I didn't think this was likely considering the way people talked about him and how we were at WR last year. Hopefully that's a sign of older playhers responding to better coaching.
- OL Depth is a lot scary for Center and a little scary for guard and OT.
- Still makes me wooly to see Hill listed as 1A/1B with Williams. We know what Williams brings and it looked like Hill had the potential to be better. Good to see Hill doing enough to be viewed as equally valuable as Williams.
- Surprised Mayden is listed as "or" for third string qb with Logan Burnett.
- Surprised to see Fletcher Adams at third string. Another one of those that shouldn't be surprising considering math, but just seems too good to be third string.
- Interior linemen are scary for next year. I see james jackson and Cory Thomas as the only players in the three deep who will be back next year? And James Jackson is in the three deep as a 3a/3b situation?
- Surprised to see Kobe Jones and Spencer as 2a/2b. Pretty crazy to think Fletcher Adams and Marquiss Spencer could be our 3rd string DEs. Pretty sure they would have been better than our starters one year under Mullen when we had no pass rush (maybe 2012? one of the years Kaleb Eulls had to play DE after he had grown into a DT size)
- Not a lot of bodies in the LB two deep. I guess if we run a 4-2-5, that won't be too big a deal.
- Is Tyler Williams in the two deep at CB as a RS FR because he's good? Or is that just by default? Don't remember anything about him.
Our backup Center is a 5’10” 320 lb walkon....thanks Hev... before you say he’s listed at 6’0”... he’s closer to 5’9”
Cory Thomas is a seniorQuote:

The biggest clusterf**k is at receiver. It's a jumbled mess, which was created under Mullen. As the season wears on, I think it will work itself out and get more defined. Hopefully some players start to separate themselves from the pack.
Dear at Z is kinda interesting.
I don't worry about RB #1. The bottom line is that if we want to win, both Aeris and Hill will get their touches.
Two things about the O-Line: (1) they are badass and (2) better stay healthy.
There is plenty of room on the depth chart for defensive tackles who want to play in 2019.
Our depth at defensive end is almost embarrassing.
I didn't expect much out of Tre Brown or Braxton Hoyette last year. So I was pleasantly surprised with their progress. They are both good players.
My eyes will be on receivers Guidry, Jason, and Austin Williams. Can either Mitchell or Couch give us a big body that can play?
If I was a running back, I wouldn't want to meet Errol Thompson in the hole on 4th and 1.
Dammit Jamal Peters, I'm looking at you. We need you to have a big year. Go out on top.
Our coaches view Kylin Hill as our Saquon Barkley. The job is his. Aeris will play some because he is a solid SEC player that does everything well. But Hill is going to become the star of this team in 2018.
Mike Webster was a generous 6'1" and 265. I'd be willing to bet he could start for us since he's in the HOF. **Quote:
