Way way WAY Too Early Depth Chart for 2022
- Thread starter cyclone4L
- Start date
OK @cyclone4L, time to put our All American DE Willy Mac back on that list!
I said move Simmons to Center as that's the position the insiders said he'd likely play when he signed and Hufford back to his original position guard. Hufford struggled blocking edge rushers. We could use one of our natural tackles to step up and actually contribute next year. Finally neither guard that moved to tackled sufficed this season.
I was referring to them moving Ramos to C.
He started the first several games of 2020 at RT. We needed tackle bodies last year and they moved him to C. They must think he can produce there since we moved a tackle that has started to an interior position.
I would say that it was more of an issue of struggling at tackle during his time there in 2020. Remsburg (if healthy), Schweiger, Foster, & Hufford were all better if not always ideal options at tackle. Hopefully he can handle pass protection better on the inside.
I don’t disagree, but seems odd to push a guy that started 5 games a tackle before injury to the inside unless he has a future there.
That and it might also have been a situation where they wanted a veteran to back up Newell in case anything h appened?
I understand, I just wonder if he's really next in line to play Center, Campbell has stressed putting the best five on the field then figure out positions later. He started 5 guards last year, three return. Remsburg played well as a freshman and was apparently injured last year. We brought in a transfer that in his interview spoke about our staff talking about getting him to the league. When I take that all into consideration I don't see Ramos as one of the best five.
Deckers will likely give us the downfield passing game that was so woefully lacking this year. I think the 2022 offense will surprise.
Maybe our fan base will surprise me and learn how to spell his name correctly by the time the season rolls around

After X and McDonald announced they're coming back here's where I'm at. Under each position group, I put whether I thought they'd be better, the same, or worse than 2021. All told, it'll be an exciting lineup to watch.

If we don't play 5 guards at line I think the line play will be much better. Other than that I think you're spot on. Team has enough talent to get us within striking distance of each team, and from there the way Campbell plays you just have to hope the bounces go our way.
Suttle is transferring.
Not sure that I totally agree with the safeties being worse, either.
I''m clueless....didn't even know we had a Cook in qb room. What's his background?
Same here. Young was a physical presence and strong against the run. I saw some outstanding plays from the young guys though. As a group I think they have a chance to be as good or better.
Two line questions:
1. Wasn't Remsburg considered a returning starter this year, or did he play alot the year before because we had an injury ahead of him?
2. Have seen people comment about playing guards instead of tackles. What's the main difference of the two, and I dont mean their position on the line. What best describes who fits the two roles?
4L's post is becoming the the way, way, WAY, wrong depth chart with every passing day.
Maybe he's waiting on Vance.....

At TE we will miss Chase Allen's awesome blocking, and Kolar's ability to catch the ball in traffic and his YAC. I do not think we have anyone who is as good of receiver as Kolar or as good of blocker as Chase. Chase was great at making catches in traffic, just not as good with the ball in his hands. I think TE will be our biggest drop off. It would be great to be wrong.
I think J Brock is a ferocious blocker in space and a great receiver in the open field. I would guess if he was as good as Breece between the tackles he would have played more. Anyway, excited to see what he brings to the table.
No way Deckers has the completion percentage of Purdy, so I hope he can make up for it in other areas, like his feet and arm strength. Purdy had a higher completion percentage than a lot of NBA players have for free throws.
