Prototype, big time Safety projection from a physical standpoint. Whether or not he can drop, play coverage and play in space at that level is TBD

Official Spring Practices Thread

A couple interesting takes from this article https://cubuffs.com/news/2019/3/10/...opment-of-offensive-line-will-be-crucial.aspx
One is that is sounds very definite that Fillip is back and fully in their plans.
Second is that Kanan Ray is back from his injury and "Cleared for full participation in the Spring." Need both those guys to step up for us at the OT position for this year and the next couple of seasons.

Nice!
I think you are correct but worst case scenario he is a good enough athlete to fill in on the outside. Ray, Fillip, and Sherman as young guys are all better athletes than the majority of the guys they were bringing in under MM on the OL.

Wait, that's happening? Wasn't he still learning OLB, and football in general (as a relative late-comer to football)?
Surprised that didn't happen sooner. Taylor is not big enough to accel at the next level at LB. He's the fastest guy on the team in a straight line, and it's not close.
Sounds like (if correct), Kutsch redshirted. Heard they really like his potential and is one of those guys who could play inside or outside I believe.

The "others returning" section is basically all guys I don't expect to ever play a down...and Kitsch.
I think our starters this year are going to be better than last but you and @Duff Man are right. We need to hope that our front line guys stay healthy because it isn't to far down the depth chart before we start playing MWC or FCS level guys.

Trenches are obviously where the game is won, but I'm interested in the how the backend will look. I think there is talent in the backend but much of it is untested. I'm a big fan of Taylor but I don't think he has the hips for safety, which probably means that he will be all conference there. You're welcome.
I feel obligated to point out that all three of those guys were brought in by MM and his staff.
He has to be able to play both IMO. Fillip likely staying helps but we still need Ray, Sherman and Moretti to be able to step in if injuries hit.
Or they address it with the 2019 and 2020 classes. Sign three tackles in the 2020 class and things do not look nearly as dire.
They were, they were also too little too late.
My point was that they weren't representative of that staff's OL recruiting.
Our depth chart has been full of "developmental" guys who never did.

Fify. As long as they quit playing Pac12 patty cake football, it’s a step in the right direction.
Good to hear about Ray. Have they had any announcement about Moretti, or is it just assumed that he is a full go?
That has to be the feel good story of the spring camp...a guy with no hips still able to play football. Tell me, is Sarah Kuta on this?
That nub is gone and ain't comin back.
Did the article really say the Moretti started a game at TE last year? I must have missed something...
Since Chev pretty much called a dive play up the middle or a WR screen on every first down, I could see Moretti starting a game at TE for that 1st play to get an extra blocker in.
ugh, 2 open practices for the media. Damn.
Can't wait for the Woelk/Johnson hype machine!
I, personally, love the Johnson interviews with the center where he talks about soft hands.
