Preseason Depth Chart!
http://www.huskiewire.com/blogs/entries/.../index.xml

And here we go. There's no freshmen on it, so you know this is going to change.

QB: Matt McIntosh OR Drew Hare, Anthony Maddie

CB: Anthony Brooks, Brandon Mayes

SS: Marlon Moore, Jackson Abresch

FS: Dechane Durante, Brandon Mayes

CB: Paris Logan, Jimmy Russell

There's no doubt one (or more) of the freshmen corners are going to play a lot. No Mycial Allen? A lot of mighty mights at WR, bet you there's a chance for Blake and Senior to get in there. The punctuation on the QB portion leads you to believe it's a two horse race.

No OR between. Maddie, looks like he's the 3rd stringer. Also, surprised about Allen, maybe because he has been hurt? Otherwise he should be the starter or at worst safety in nickel packages and move Marlon to the slot corner.

Also, think of when they line up with 3 WR set given the current depth chart and with Daniels in the backfield of the speed on the field. Brown, Turner, and Lewis are all burners and we know what Akeem can do. That's a group of skill players that need to see maximum plays against the likes of NW and Arkansas.

Worth noting if you go watch Carey on niuhuskies.com he says "Rock Lemon will be back." If that's the case, I could see us playing a lot of 3-4 this year.

Rock-Boomer-Bass-Ford/Smaha wouldn't be a bad group at all. Still have Santa as a backup as well.

Meehan-Gordon-Jones/ Ippolito
Lemon-Boomer-Bass-Ford (Smaha)
Hallmon-Moore-Durante-Logan

That's my guess at your defense come the opener.

That would be interesting to see a 3-4. If they open the season like that, do they move back to a 4-3 to stop a running team like Arkansas or do they leave a 3-4 to hope 4 linebackers can do a good job of cleaning up.

There was an article posted about it last week. It didn't sound like they would go exclusive 3-4, but they did mention a "Huskie" position (which is where I put Ford/Smaha) so it sounds like they're going to run more 3-4 this year. I'm sure you'll still see 4 hands in the ground at times, though.

Jamal Peyton won't start @ LB? Would be surprised if that is true. Surprised Tyler Loos would be ready, wishing him the best.

I thought Allen got hurt during the spring. Almost positive I read something about him. He showed a lot of upside last year when he played imo.

Allen cannot practice as of yet. Jamal Payton will start at OLB. I do think 1 or maybe even 2 true fresman will get plenty of reps @ CB or S and eventually may start. JMHO.

Thanks theta for confirming what I recall about Lemon. Tukes school I believe. Yet.......

I just watched the video 7 mentions and Carey says he's back.....

Consider me giddy.

Daniels, Duece and Tommy Lee on the field at the same time will be one of the fastest offensive trios in the country. Good luck game planning to stop that and Stingily.

If our QB is competent, look out.

Cautiously optimistic about the defense, too. If we follow the usual good-bad-good-bad yearly defense pattern, this group might be alright.

I suppose if Lemon did not go thru with his transfer he would be immediately eligible to play for us. That would be nice depth @ LB. I still think Payton starts, unless there is a roving hybrid DE/LB.

Go watch the video of Carey on niuhuskies.com. That would be a pretty epic misspeak by him.

Lemon has to be back, there is absolutely no way Carey would make a blunder like that and claim someone is back after almost an entire year suspension if he transferred.

Any chance they redshirt Allen? Because I feel like he has the ability to play a lot and even if he was banged up he should be on the two deep.

I hope Allen can play. Probably the guy on defense I'm most looking forward to seeing.

OL: keep forgetting how nasty deep we are at this position. I think gegner, Myers and Ruka start at a lot of schools this year.

WR: keep forgetting about Mitchell. He could be a big add to our depth and needed given brown and tl's track record for getting banged up.

Dl: not all that worried when you look at it...there is game experience there

Lb: depth

DB: Mayes will see a lot of action somewhere.

Best chances for true frosh impact...clearly cb either hallmon or olootu. I'd also say wr will step up...senior and saffold maybe.
