 That looks like a solid effort to what we will actually may see come game one.  These just your thoughts or do you have some inside intel I don't?  What I see of your list:
 
 OLine - This looks like the best case for these guys with Reese and Lewis stepping up into starting rolls.  I don't see Losoya at the RT backup. I expect he will help backup the inside spots and the starting Guards will be your back up OT's.
 
 WR's  -  a good a guess as any I have seen.  I see 8-10 guys that all look good with differing qualities
 
 DL - All six you have listed will get lots of snaps and a couple other guys will get in there as well.  It's a long season and this group looks deep and built to handle it.  Does it have enough star power?  I don't know but they do look good.
 
 DB's  - Your starters may be right but there is a bunch of new and young talent vying for all those spots.  This should be the most improved group on the team outside special teams.

 That is a pretty talented group.  That D could be really really good.  We are real stout up front again thru 2 deep.  A few unproven guys on OL on O but other than that lot of talent and returning experience.  If we don't win 8-9 games 2022 is a failure IMO.  No excuse.

							Yeah because 8-4 and 7-5 really doesn?t mean shit. We need 10 and to be competitive in the other 2. That is what matters.

 Nah, we good.
 
 
 
 Last year's contributors.  A couple of our top guys are gone.  Rara is obviously gonna step up, but I'm not overly excited about the big play ability of the group.  Hopefully they show out, but one or two injuries and we could be in trouble.

 We'll be fine. Got better WRs than Mullen had in most of his 9 years. Y'all settle down.

 Is their positive buzz about Ducking or something coming out of workouts?  He's a redshirt senior that so far hasn't really produced much.  Doesn't seem crazy to think it'd be a bad sign if he was suddenly going to be a starter for us.

							Having a certain OL man running 1st and 2nd string at LT in the spring, who was a penalty machine last year has me worried.  Hope that issue is resolved as he enters  this season.

 Hes good. We have had way worse start for us

							I'm tempering my expectations on Lewis. Last year was the first time in his life he played OL. He is a converted DL. Even Martinas Rankin needed a RS year and I would pick him over Lewis every day of the week. 
 
 The good news is that, if he is good in spite of his experience, then he could be special.

 We were within a gnats ass of 10 wins with Scott Lashley at RT. It cant be any worse. We will be ok. It wont always be pretty but we will be ok

 And that bit him in his pompous ass. You gotta have more than one Bear Wilson on the offense. Josh and Aeris could only do so much.

 Wide receiver is one of the deepest groups on the team.  It not only won’t be a problem, they will be better than last year.  Watching Leach teams over twenty years, the receivers will be a strong point. They will easily replace lost production from Polk et al.
