I have a feeling we will know very little from the mouth of the coach, and may only get a sense based on reports on who is taking the snaps and otherwise working with the 1s. When the two-deeps come out that should give us more information, but I am not even sure that will give an accurate picture. Frankly, I think we will know on game day when the starting line-ups are announced.

We know enough to evaluate the team. You can list 19 of the 22 starters with some certainty. Only unknown is QB, RT and wr 2,3. But We basically know the wr depth. It is just a matter of field and down situation because it’s Tucker, Richie or Robinson. All 3 are probably equal and will see similar reps. And I’m not worried about RT or RG depending where Steckler is.

So much just rides on that QB question; Is Bowers legit or has Childers improved? Either way it will be better than last year. So there’s that.

Also, who emerges as the new playmaker. Someone will. On offense maybe Nettles breaks out. Maybe Robinson. On defense maybe it’s Lorbeck, Hogans or Mckie. Super exciting year.

Who do you see lining up on the OL left to right?

Cox, Patton, Perez, Veloz<-->Steckler

Perez can move to guard if need be. There is really good depth up the middle. Whatever combo they go with will be good. It's tackle that is worrisome. Not a Veloz fan. He's just ok. Steckler will end up at RT just out of need. But I'd like him at RG. The line will be fine as long as Cox succeeds at LT.

plus, there will be improved blocking from the TE position. Harmston was pretty bad and the youngsters didn't do so great either.
