Updated Depth Chart... some interesting things noted..

Chris baker lined up at end with Cofeild in the middle still, i kind of wish the swapped.

Chris thompson listed as 3rd string, pushing the rest to the bubble it would seem. Not sure with his health and dropsies but, he is electrifying.

Moss listed as second string behind Pierre, Grant opposite of him. This I like.

Breeland listed as second string corner, pending his suspension, i like it.

Forbath still listed as our kicker, hope he sticks around and can improve on kickoffs.

Rambo listed as second string, glad he is improving but Thomas being pushed back a few spots isnt encouraging for him..


I know this is nothing close to finalized, but with one preseason game left in which we most likely wont see sarters at alot of key positions... i like some o f the indications i have seen right now and imo it goes hamd and.hand with what most of us have been talking about and seeing so far this preseason/camp.

Thoughts?

Biggers and Treeland ahead of Tracy Porter...thats an intreeging development

Re: Updated Depth Chart... some interesting things note..
 

I agree its almost as tracy hasnt even been on the team.

Re: Updated Depth Chart... some interesting things note..
 

I don't know the practice squad rules, but some of these vets like Tracy Porter can't go to the practice squad. Seems like its limited to younger guys.

Like I said before the skins signed Porter, it's a mistake. Rather keep Crawford or Minnifield. Phillip Thomas hurt the same foot as last year, MRI coming today.

Malcolm Kelley part two.

Chris Thompson as 3rd string can't possibly be a reality. Look for either Seastrunk or Redd.

Although Royster has shown some moves, I wish to God they'd just cut him already.

Re: Updated Depth Chart... some interesting things note..
 

Porter isnt a cap burden is he? He adds depth because you never know.

I would like to see some action @ the RB slot. Never been a big fan of Helu, I can't ever remember seeing him aggressively finish up a run. He has speed, but not run away speed like Sistrunk, and like Thompson has injury issues.

This takes a too-narrow view of the RB position. Helu is by far our best pass-catching back and a strong blocker in blitz pickup. Keeping him on the roster is a necessity, he's the clear-cut #2.

To be honest, I think he's been pretty sloppy this summer in pass blocking.

Re: Updated Depth Chart... some interesting things note..
 

Yeah everything I have read has basically been that none of our options have been any good in pass protection other than Royster

Re: Updated Depth Chart... some interesting things note..
 

BTW...I don't get why pass protection for RBs is so hard. But I never played the position so what do I know?

Some of it is just pure physics: a 220 lb. guy trying to stop a charging 290 lb. guy. It takes a good understanding and execution of leverage.

But what do I know. I'm still trying to figure out how pro hoops players can suck at free throws.

Seems like an opportunity to bring by a certain Alumni and have him teach proper RB blocking.

Portis can't be too busy with other things, right?
