2023 Buffs Depth Chart Thread

Coaches like how Alston sets the edge, doing the ugly stuff to keep plays from bouncing outside. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s McLendon/Alston a lot.

That first time Arden Walker and Jordan Domineck combine for a sack on a 3rd and long gonna hit like Von/Ware used to. 🥲
 
I thought Chance Main bulked up and moved inside?
The roster has positions listed as DL (Interior), OLB and DE. OLB and DE are wrapped into EDGE most of the time these days and Chance Main is listed as DE.

A video I saw a while back had Sal telling Main that he would get him on the field for third downs, presumably on the inside. I have a feeling there are a couple EDGE guys who they will move around.
 
What’s a “F receiver”. First time I’ve ever heard that.
As I understand it, "F" means "Flex". So it could be a TE type doing anything from offset fullback / H-back or slot stuff or it could mean an additional WR who migh be on the outside with double move routes type stuff. Probably has a more specific definition in Lewis's offense, tho.
 
Here is their Defensive depth chart. I think they are wrong about Cormani. I believe Cooper will start.

I'm also not sure about Alston either. I know Nick Williams was complimentary the other day and I'm pretty sure that's what their basing this on. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Smalls.

I think 25-28 players could get D snaps vs TCU.
 
TE Pasarello out extended time per Brew today. Fauria close to returning
I know the usage of the TE in this offense has been a question mark, if not an outright point of contention among most on this board, but it's deeply concerning to me that we're getting the "He's an underrated gem who's in the best shape of his life" article on Harrison right now. He's a walkon WR who couldn't see the field on last year's 1-11 team, and now he's going to be TE1. Someone give me a reason to be optimistic.

Find that graphic of TE usage in Lewis offense over the last 3 years. You don't have to be optimistic about the TE position to be optimistic about our offense.
 


Still buying all the Alston stock I can. Definitely understand the question marks around the front 7 but it sounds like it’s been really competitive for the starting and two deep spots. I don’t think you can go wrong guessing any of the impact players in there.

Also early returns on the prep recruits from ‘23 are really encouraging. Several true freshman doing all they can to make it hard to keep them off the field.

Some guys still need to develop but it is positive to have multiple guys who are actually P5 level athletes out there competing.

After too many years we may finally be in a situation of wondering which quality players are going to have to sit and wait their turn instead of hoping we can scape together enough guys for a starting 11.

And this right here is the difference between 5/4* panning out vs washing out. If blue Chips are surrounded by players that will push them, I think they succeed. If they are the only fish in that pond and become a prima dona…failure. Paging Mr Scott.
 
A couple weeks ago, I would have asked if Woods was fast enough to be the free safety on this team. After seeing he ran a 4.4 I’m not concerned about it. Such a big Trevor Woods fan with him staying and putting in the work to potentially start on a completely revamped and upgraded team
Not many players stood out on that team last year, Woods was one that did. Mainly because he looks to belong on this level. Hate to say it, but a lot of our guys didn't.
 
Who would have thought that after all the Safeties we brought in that Woods would still start?

DT - Cokes
DT - Payne
OLB - McLendon
OLB - Domineck
ILB - Ham
ILB - Bentley
S - Slusher
S - Woods
S - Sanders
CB - Hunter
CB - Cooper

Done.
 
We need a 2 deep with the updated numbers. I'm going to be so confused the first few games.
I really want to know the 21 starters names and numbers. At least I am aware that we only need to learn 21 names.
