If Dylan Haines starts against ND he will be the only senior in the starting lineup.

That would make only two seniors in the starting lineup.

Its possible that by the time the RRR rolls around on Oct 8th we will have no seniors in the starting lineup.

Think about that

 

[Metcalf #2]

Too hard to say which of the freshman DTs will redshirt.

I'd add Mr Roach to the DE contributors.

Hope like goddamn hell somebody replaces GDDH. I'm gonna go ahead and predict Jones taking his job at some point early in the season.

What about Southall? Roach?

 

[Blackcat00]

Shack will see the most playing time of the group in my opinion.

 

[Metcalf #2]

Southall
Giles
Daniels
Elliot
Wilbon

Jeez, it's anybody's guess. Obviously at least two of them will need to redshirt, but who? Any of of them could come in kicking ass right away. My guess it will take all of fall camp to find out who's ready and who's not. Great problem to have.

Are you talking about just on D?

No one will be replacing Kent Perkins as a SR starter on the OL. Not at any point during the yr, unless he gets hurt.

 

[Metcalf #2]

Look for Fitzgerald to contribute at DE as well.

DT
Christmas-Giles is the most likely to start of the fish. Daniels most likely to RS but I think everyone plays.

LB- Fowler is very versatile and can play all over the place. McCulloch is an OLB all the way.

Look for Chris Brown to challenge Bonney at NB

 

[Metcalf #2]

No way all 5 DTs play. You have to redshirt a couple. Can't have 5 DTs all graduating at the same time.

Kent Perkins is a junior.

I think Omenihu passes Hughes in the depth chart and I saw nothing from Vasser last year to make me think that he would be a starter.

 

[Metcalf #2]

I like Omenihu, but he just seems extremely slow. I mean he literally looks like he's running in quicksand. I don't have high hopes for him.
