Who feels like waiting until game week? This is the closest depiction of what the depth chart should look like for kick-off in Houston. Let's discuss.

OFFENSE

QB: Etling, Brennan, McMillan, Narcisse
RB: Guice, Williams, Brossette, Edwards-Helaire
FB: Moore, Mouton, Ducre
TE: Moreau, Washington, Roddy
LT: Malone, Deculus
LG: Brumfield, Campbell*, Magee
C: Clapp*, Cushenberry
RG: Ingram/Cushenberry, Charles
RT: Weathersby, Savage
WR (X): Chark, Anderson, Stevens
WR (Z): Gage, Davis, Sullivan
Slot: Dillon


DEFENSE

DE: Lacouture, Clark, Logan
NT: Alexander, Gilmore
DE: Lawrence, Herron, Thomas
F: Divinity, Thompson, Martin, Queen
Mack: White, Phillips, Taylor, Patterson
Rover: Alexander, Thornton, Voorhies
Buck: Key*, Chaisson, Anthony*
CB: Toliver, Greedy, Kirklin
FS: Delpit, Paris, Harris
SS: Battle, Monroe, C. Lewis
CB: Jackson, Fulton, X. Lewis
Nickel: Vincent

SPECIAL TEAMS

P: Growden
K: Gonsoulin, Culp
KOS: Gamble
KR: Brossette, Edwards-Helaire
PR: Jackson


* = knicked

Side note: the offensive line will be shuffled, never remains the same. Also, does anybody actually know who the kick returners will be if not Donte handling both duties?

Gamble ain't starting crap. Probably brining water to the defense.

more question marks at skill positions than in any season i can remember in a long long while

OL is a problem bc of depth

DL looks pretty solid as does lb, albiet a bit short on experience.

Secondary could go either way

9-3 or 8-4

If Magee is starting at RG, this is news to me. I had heard it was a battle between Cushenberry, Ingram, and Charles.

Yeah you're off about a lot of positions, I'm kinda curious where you got some of this stuff from.

For example:

CEH is ahead of Brosette

RG is between Cushenberry and Ingram, I don't believe Magee has been mentioned at all.

Paris is a FS and will split time with Delpit.

Coleman is the starter at F

Thornton is a Buck.

Gilmore is the starter at nose.

Where's Derrick Dillon? Ray Thornton isn't backin up Donnie. Tyler Taylor and Jacob Phillips are. Also you may want to note that Kary is the starting nickel.

The bolded items need to be corrected to:

TE: Washington is almost never mentioned by coaches. Jamal Pettigrew seams to be the Number 2 guy for receiving Tight End and Roddy will be the blocking end.

RG: Cushenberry and Campbell are battling for the starting spot with Cushenberry seemingly holding the lead

WR: Your first team will be Chark, Gage, and Derrick Dillon. Dee Anderson, Drake Davis, Stephen Sullivan, Mannie Netherly and Jacoby Stevens will see time as well. Expect WAYYY more substitutions here than in previous years.

NT: Shelvin is ineligible this year and Ed is a little nicked up and out of shape. I'd expect Gilmore to see a majority of snaps until Ed comes around. Lacatoure is the third option here and Herron would slide over to DE.

Nothing official yet at linebacker, but I'd expect Corey Thompson to be the starter.

Battle and Paris will the be starters at Safety with Delpit and Todd Harris right behind them. I'm not sure how often we'll see substitutions here but I'd expect to see at least 5 safeties get decent playing time this season.

I think Gonsulon will be the PK and Culp will handle Kickoffs.

Hard to believe Ducre doesn't suit the offense more than Mouton. Not that he's wrong on the depth chart.

If Magee is in game shape, I'd almost rather him play most of the BYU game and let Clapp and Campbell get 100% - UT-Chatt being the second game is a great cushion if we get minor OL injuries in the BYU game, but I'm still worried about OL depth.

I'm not a chicken little on that issue - I think the young guys will come along fairly quickly and that the talent pool there is better than the average fan thinks - but the margin of error there is very, very slim.

Man...there are so many things wrong with that depth chart you concocted, that it's not worth my time correcting it.
