New Depth Chart Out
- Thread starter jgisland
- Start date
PRich and Speedy fielding punts and B-Lock suggests that this coaching staff is serious about special teams. It is a huge gamble with starters (especially at positions where quality depth is suspect), but teams with good special teams are very competitive. Looks like the best players are going to see the field.

I think the Jered Bell injury ****ed us in the defensive backfield.

I would think all of the twos would go. If someone gets hurt who do you put in?
2s and change. 70 players are flying.

Right... that's what I was thinking.
As scary as it is, I'm on board with PRich and Speedy fielding punts. I think, like XIIfan said, the best players take the field. Would hate to see either of them get hurt but a big special teams play can make or break a game.
Some surprises no doubt, not about Clemons really. You could kinda see this **** coming a mile away. I hope it gets him going in a good way, my fingers are crossed. Wouldnt worry too much about Kasa. I think he will get alot of snaps. Im hoping we rotate guys in alot on the dline. I also hope DD or somebody wins the punt returner job. Id like to see PRich do it every now and again but we are in serious trouble if he gets hurt.

Sadly I think you can say this at every position aside from OL and DL.

w0rd. That's what I was thinking... thanks... ymssra.
In reality, it's TYPICALLY not the actual returner that gets hurt on special teams. It's usually the wedge guys or deep blockers.
I wouldn't be suprised if theres not another change or 2 before the opener.Paterno used to say you can count on losing 1 game per true freshman you have to play...so we're going 10-3!!!!!!

Very excited about our defensive front 3+1. Starters at linebacker are solid. Predicting cornerback by committee which scares me but hopefully we develop a good pass rush to deflect some of the pressure and our corners can wrap up on possessions rather than be laid to waste by burners and a QB with all day in the pocket.
Blake Behrens is the biggest mystery of anyone currently on the roster and has been to me for close to 3 years now. I really hope he can see the field and close his collegiate career on a productive note. Am very interested to see how quickly freshmen like Parker and Goodson can prove they belong on the field.

I think it's a risk worth taking and many good programs do it.
CU used a starting CB (Dave McCloughan) for punt returns and our best WR for kick returns (Mike Pritchard) in 1990.
CU used a thorpe award winning CB for PR in 94 in Chris Hudson
Oregon uses their best player on defense (Cliff Harris) for PR.
Miami used a starting CB at PR in Devin Hester
The list goes on and on, but those are some examples.

Total agreement. Reggie Bush and Percy Harvin returned some in college and while it's hard to make that comparison because of how much talent they had around them at all positions, the team put their best athlete in there and it paid dividends. A relative elite talent for our roster would mean getting a fast guy who knows how to dodge tacklers, even if he is a starter at a skill position. We are going to need all the field position we can get.

I recall an article indicating that the Hawaii travel team would consist of 70 players.
To paraphrase Embree's quote earlier on, he said he'd only bring players that will help CU win...he doesn't need the help of players who contribute to a defeat..."

Did the entire team go on a diet? We had some beef up front and looking at the depth chart, all our OL have dropped 10-15 lbs. Is this good or bad? Also, Nick Kasa is 3rd behind poremba at de. Very strange.
CB situation is scary.
I like the 3-4, quick hard hitting lb's and the front 3 pretty good.

Everybody loses a little weight in camp but I wouldnt take listed weights as gospel either.
I thought you were wrong here, but it looks like miller has lost significant weight, didnt he play around 320 last year?
Seeing Bahktiari and Harris at 295 given their height and age is a good sign.

I think miller was 315. The funny thing is rippy. He has gone from 6-2-235 to 6-2 -245 and is now 6-3 -230.
