Two Deep

[SDSUAlum08]

Usually there's something released by now. Anyone know who the projected starters are?

Re: Two Deep

TV's latest Camp Chronicle says they'll start preparing for Kansas midweek, so one would think there should be a pretty good idea who is 1st and 2nd stringers by then.

Re: Two Deep

for some reason I always like seein the 2 deep chart just to know who is challenging who, and who is moving up the ladder.

Re: Two Deep

This is what the media guide has:

But it's not accurate. It still lists Kool as RB and not WR and RB Winterboer is listed even though he isn't on the team anymore.

Re: Two Deep

My guess is that the depth chart is fairly accurate. Just remove Winterboer at RB and put in his place FR Kyle Parris. Then plug in Kool as starting as the X-Back WR.

The only unusual things I noticed on the 2-deep were:

There is no mention of sophomore DE/DT Auston LaBlance. LaBlance was a prized recruit coming in, missed last season because of a shoulder injury and switched from DE to DT in spring. He is on the roster at GoJacks.com and they are showing this year's photo so he is still with the team but they are listing true freshman ahead of him on the depth chart. I'm guessing it was probably an oversight.

The other thing that surprised me was that both Joe Martinson and Jake Gentile had their redshirts pulled last season so it's interesting to see that they are behind a couple redshirt freshman on the depth chart. (Martinson is behind Jimmie Forsythe at CB and Gentile is behind Mark Pickerel at FS)



I really like this team and think that they are going to surprise some people. My biggest concern is the kicking game and whether or not the O-Line can meet up to expectation.

Re: Two Deep

I guess I worry the line on both sides of the ball. I think the offense has play makers and ability to put points on the board, and the D has some solid guys and line backers to control some. But the lines are key. Both lines need to stay healthy all year. the kicking game has been a concern I think since Parker graduated. I am not worried about the punting game as much because we have usually done a great job at producing good punters.

Re: Two Deep

If the media guide is accurate for linebacker, I'm a little surprised at the Mike position.
1. Robbie Jelsma 6'3" 240 lbs. sophomore
2. T.J. Lally 6'0" 220, R-Fr
3. Matt Romano 6'3" 215, Fr

That is a young group, with little time on the field outside of special teams. Outside of Jelsma, they are not overly big either. This position is going to be very important for directing traffic and controlling the middle against the run. If these guys develop, we will be set in the middle for years to come. However, I do worry a little bit about stopping the run early in the season. Kansas returns James Sims who has rushed for nearly 1,500 yards during his freshman and sophomore seasons. While Southeastern LA has not been known for their running game, they do return 2 seniors and a junior who all shared the bulk of their carries. In addition, they have a sophomore who has been named to two preseason All-American teams as a returner. RB is his natural position. Don't know much about Cal-Davis, but Shakir Bell will then be featured against us in our 4th game of the season.

I was a little surprised that Chris Tracy wasn't listed as the started at MLB. I know he's played there before and has the size. And than R.C. Kilgore would start at OLB.

Sims is out the first 3 games for KU due to suspension. The guy taking over at RB is Tony Pierson who is probably going to be better than Sims. He's a burner. KU will try to run over us so we better be prepared to stop the run much better than last year.

Re: Two Deep

Question for you guys - With Fick hurt - what does this do to the O-line depth chart? There is an abundance of good guards, but not so much at back up tackle in my opinion. Are they moving the Sophomores up? Or will they move one of the guards, perhaps Kage, to tackle and plug in either Seuse or Oly? Just curious what you think. I also am curious what people are observing at practice to cover Ficks loss. I know Parker has been banged up also, maybe Seuse is staying behind him? Does anyone have any ideas? Or do you think Fick will be back and the chart will stay the same? thanks.

Re: Two Deep

I am hearing Fick go have his knee scoped --- soon! Today? Expecting to miss 3 to 4 games? Thats good for the Jacks.

I think they would start SO Trevor Gregor. I don't think there is a whole lot of drop-off between him and Fick. He started 3 games last year as a redshirt freshman.

The other option would be to slide Kage over to tackle and plug in Suess or Olinger at guard like you suggested. Fortunately, there is some decent experience on the O-Line with backups Gregor, Olinger, Suess, & Purcell all starting games before.

This. I caught a few plays of the scrimmage last weekend and I'm pretty sure Gregor was playing at tackle with the ones.

This looks to be an updated depth chart
