re: 2020 depth chart w/ new 2020 signees.

Devonte Lee is a LB now?

Don’t sleep on Starks & Sampah

You can add Avery Atkins and Preston Stafford to kickers!
Stafford from Catholic via Arkansas.

My biggest takeaway here is that no one is mentioning Brooks’ impact through the back end of the schedule as a pass rusher. He was an 18 year old last year who got to the QB often.

With a year under his belt and some time with Moffitt, I expect him to be a consistent presence in the backfield of our opponents coming off the edge.

We will have a solid foundation in Logan, Shelvin, Ika, & Farrell. If Thomas continues to improve, that gives us a nice rotation and we have room for maybe one or two more guys to provide depth and push the depth chart.

In the Secondary it’s an embarrassment of riches. Behind Stingly, you have Flott, Ward and the True Frosh. Much better depth and experience than we had headed into this year IMO. At S we have experience and talent. X-Factor is how does Harris bounce back from his knee injury in this years season opener?

Linebacker is a huge hole. We got some kids some experience, but we have to have some kids develop and step up.

On offense, the line returns a lot of kids with starting experience and I am totally sold on Cregg’s ability to coach them up. For Thomas, Wire and Rosenthal, their time is now. I see the OL like this:

LT-Rosenthal
LG-Ingram
C-Hines
RG-Thomas/Wire
RT-Deculus

4/5 of those spots are manned by kids who have SEC starts under their belt in the last two years.

RB-Who cares how it shakes out, we are deep, talented and have an off-season to develop these kids even more. Just stay healthy.

TE-Pettigrew/Gilbert; nuff said.

WR-Chase
WR-Marshall (Watch out as he will have a chip on his shoulder in ‘20; thinks he’s been overlooked)
WR-McMath

QB-Is the starter on campus yet?

Offense is all about 2 things, LT and QB. The talent at the skill spots and interior OL are set.
LT essentially comes down to 1 of Rosenthall or Wire developing or us landing a college ready LT in the class. Could go either way. Cregg has to earn his money.
Qb is does Brennan finally get his chance to actually be what many, many Tiger fans have believed hed be? Id like to see him get that shot. If not, does Parrish develop quicker than expectes

---

LT is already set. Rosenthal played a ton this year, and he played well.

Parrish does not look like a major college QB to me. I’m just basing that on the warm up drills. Burrow doesn’t have elite arm strength, but his passes had way more zip than Parrish’s.

So what you’re saying is that an 18 year old’s arm strength isn’t comparable to a 23 year old Heisman Trophy winning, #1 pick in the NFL Draft’s arm strength.

---

Burrow does not have great arm strength. Max Johnson and Finley are high school seniors who have stronger arms than Burrow. They have much stronger arms than Parrish, who appears to have the weakest arm I’ve seen on a scholarship LSU QB in many years.

Note the word “appears”, and note the words “I’m JUST basing this on...” in my previous post. These are your hints that I am not writing off anyone. I am leaving room for doubt. Maybe Parrish was just goofing off. Maybe he had a slight injury that forced him to go easy. But if not, he does not have a major college arm.

Avery Atkins was put on scholarship in August. Hopefully Connor Culp moves on. We won’t need him again next year.

unless Kirkland and McMath have redshirted somewhere along the way.

Not sure what you’re trying to say here. They will both be seniors next year.
