Some interesting movement. Wilcher is listed at WR. Bush at DE. Larkins is listed #1 at FS.

Along with French being gone, I also don't see Suggs.

O SHOULDNT MISS A BEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st thoughts...Oh **** our defense is going to be in trouble. Some experience, but a TON of youth on that side of the ball. Hopefully, Florida hasn't figured out how to play offense by the opener...their offense was offensive last year.

It also looks like some guys have put on some weight...Olack at 6'4 220lbs. Dline with a number of guys over 280...and TO finally cracked the 200lb barrier (205).

Spring should be interesting....a lot of positions up for grabs.

I am a little concerned about right tackle, I kind of expected Perchinske or Perschon to step into that starting role.

I think it is interesting that Trent Voss is listed as the Star LB, with Vlad backing him up, and Sylvestre listed as teh starter at Will LB. I did like what I saw from Murdach on special teams, especially kickoff coverage.

Jordan Haden listed as backup at SS, I thought he was one of our better cover guys last year.

Hopefully Danny Larkins can help out at FS.

I'm sure the depth chart will change 10 times before August. Campbell will find the right guys to start.

This depth chart means very little so early in process. It is reward to some and wakeup call to others. I chuckled when I looked at it at a couple of positions.

Likin' the size of our OL. We're just a few pizza buffets away from 300 lbs all the way across.

Like our starters at WR. The depth not so much. Corey Jones was supposed to enroll in January, right? He probably isn't cleared yet? What ever happened to Armani Miller?

A little concerned about RB, too. I don't really see anybody who can back up Flu, but I guess we'll see.

Got some freshmen coming' in too.

In any case, nice to have a depth chart!

I thought Jones-Moore was going to be the next great Rocket running back? We really didn't have much behind fl;u last year either. We'll be alright. I expect our running QB to take some of the load when he's in for our passing QB.

Myself, I see a 5-7, 180 pounder as change of pace back, not a backup to Flu. Dave Pasquale I saw as a backup to Flu.

DJM may be another Garrett Wolfe and become a feature back in the future, but for now I'm not seeing anybody who can bring what Flu brings. Pringle has a little more size, but he's kind of buried on the depth chart.

Oh well, it is the first Spring depth chart so no doubt there are a lot of things to shake out.

One thing not to rely upon with a depth chart are heights and especially weights. Especially if they are listed on the lighter side.

I'm holding out hope, beyond hope for a defense period. Toledo has a lot of parts, but never seems to put it together, along with the coaching strategy of playing 10 yards off the ball. If it doesn't come together this year, they are going to have to score 50pts a game to win.

I agree, I know one player who's weight was 25 lbs light and he is not a lineman. lol.

I believe those days of playing 10 yds off the receivers in regular coverage are about done at UT.

I HOPE so!!! I don't want to have to bring the Fire Tuke thread back...
