Post-Spring depth chart (with Luke and without Luke) guess

quote:

---

QB: Manziel, Davis

negative

quote:

LT: J. Matthews, Stuckey

---

Stuckey is going to redshirt. He's only played 2 years of football really and isn't ready. I wouldn't even include him on the depth chart as I think guys like Cheek, Ifedi, and Gutekunst will all get shots at tackle before him this year. I think he shirts unless both OTs leave (which isn't going to happen)

quote:

---

WDE: Alexander, Points, Tl. Taylor

---

Points isn't a WDE. He's a SDE now and probably becomes a DT. I was told we are strongly considering moving Obioha here.

quote:

---

NT: Stansbury, Manukainu

---

Stansbury has never played inside. I think Zo Williams is more likely to be moved but think this is Polo's spot barring something surprising with Ivan backing him up in the spring. I think if Manning comes in prepared he may start as a true fish though.

quote:

---

WOLB: Jenkins, Tn. Taylor, Ward

---

Ward...I wouldn't count on. Also I'm not sure how we plan to use the Taylors but I don't think Will is eithers position. You are leaving out Wade who will probably immediately be 2nd team here.

quote:

FS: Marshall, Burns

---

Burns? Has he ever played? Even Honeycutt got into the Cotton Bowl. I think it's safe to say both Raven and Honeycutt are ahead of him here. Hurd is really a nickel (and I assume that's where we'd play Raven) but he would be too. I expect Burns will transfer if he wants to play.

Finally, I don't think the coaches are all that high on Klinke. And I'd be relatively surprised if he ever starts for us again. Ogbuehi will start somewhere but it may not be tackle. I think Cheek vs the young guards is going to be the battle in the spring.

Why do you think this is wrong?

You think that Joecekl will beat out Davis for backup?

Showers is gone so it will be either M Joeckel or Davis, Davis is more athletic.

---

1) Showers is only rumored to leave. I think people are writing him off too soon. He may yet stay
2) Joeckel is better than Davis (I know no one wants to hear that because they love Matt Davis but it's not even close at the moment)

That is part of the discussion ... tmc seems to believe that Showers will be on the team still.

Your response has me thinking that you don't believe M Joeckel will be on the team? I thought you had Davis beating him out for Back up QB, now I am not sure?

quote:

---

I had Matt Joeckel moving to WR/TE if Luke stays and off the team if he doesn't.

---

Ahh forgot seeing that ... I think you need to flesh out your QB depth chart a little bit more ... no way we role with only 2 QBs and even is Kohl and/or Kenny Hill end up on campus I don't see us burning one of their shirts.

I think Matt stays regardless of what Luke does and stays as either the #2 or #3 QB depending on how Summer and Fall ball goes.

Like I said, I see it 50/50 between David and Matt J as to who wins the #2 spot.

With our WR class and with Cleare and Hicks at TE Matt J would be better utilized as QB regardless if it is as the #2 or #3 playing mainly scout team minutes.

Good thing we have that Williams guy on our team...
