Can't say I'm too thrilled about Sebastian starting at FS. Him and Tranquill both might be liabilities in coverage.

Who's this OR guy?

Avery Sebastian is starting at FS. For the first time, I'm worried about Texas.

I second this...

How does one expand this? I can't read it, it's too small.

Never mind.

Josh Adams listed as 1A on the depth chart... interesting

 

[IrishLion]

I'm still very interested in Jamir Jones backing up Onwualu. Must have earned some attention from special teams prep or something.

Hope somebody asks BK about it.

Thank you, reps.


I've been wanting to see a depth chart for weeks now and it did not help my overall feelings... attempting to replace a lot of impact players,... at least one at almost every unit on the field. I mean, that's tough guys.

What am I missing that has everyone so confident in our dline? I get that Texas has problems on the oline but people also seem to think our dline is a strength. Im seeing Jones who has shown flashes but not consistency and is coming off injury, Rochell who has been a very good run stopper but hasnt shown he can provide pressure on QB, Tillery has shown more potential than production, Trumbetti who imo is just ok, Hayes who is a frosh with very little experience even on the hs level, and Cage who I consider similar to Trumbetti in that he has not looked like a liability but has not exactly set the world on fire either. I am not saying this unit is awful, I am just missing what others are seeing that provides confidence that this unit will be a real strength.

Q: First snaps?

BK: No decision yet. It's not really an issue for them.

 

[IrishLion]

Reps will be based on "feel"

after looking again i think the "or's" are in alphabetical order

 

[IrishLion]

Arrested players are on the depth chart, they are available until the University says otherwise.

"Situations are out of my hands. I'll control what I can control from a football standpoint."

 

[ACamp1900]

Also, I'm kind of surprised people thought Sebastian wasn't going to start... I mean, once Redfield was out that was a dead gimmie was it not?? Were people really expecting a true frosh on the road?

I think its our above average D line with a good amount of experience, and a below average O line of Texas with very little experience

 

[IrishLion]

There's no deadline from the University on any punishment decisions. Players will play until BK is told otherwise.

 

[IrishLion]

BK not worried about playing on Sunday.

More worried about the NEXT week's prep.

My addition: good thing it's Nevada?

Wait, really??

 

[IrishLion]

About the #1 jersey on a rotating basis:

Awarded prior to each game based on a number of factors that have to do with character on and off field; based on practice; captains will be involved in decision (?)

 

[wizards8507]

Wait, really??

Of course. This wasn't academic in nature so there's no "Frozen Five" element in play.

I LOVE this. BK taking a stand until told otherwise. How it should be. No more frozen five bullshit.

Avery over Studstill:

Devin is a bit behind based on his hammy injury. Also wants to put veterans on the field where possible. If Devin were clearly ahead, he'd be on the field. Sebastian has had a really good camp, on top of being a veteran.

Wants Devin to work his way onto the field. Made up a lot of ground after his injury, meaning he probably gets plenty of reps.

 

[dang227]

Avery and Drue starting at Safety really makes me nervous. Neither one is very good in coverage. In this day and age I would rather have two FS's back there than two SS's.

BK will adjust things based on how players handle "The Moment"

Not sure if the question was geared toward QB or Freshmen playing

what i took from this is 1 - devin had some catching up to do with hammy injury 2 - loyal to experience (big game on road) lets break devin in

Interesting things:

Kraemer is backup at RT.

Trumbetti is starting. Dealin and Jay Hayes are in an OR situation as the backup.

Cage and Jones in an OR situation, as well.

Jamir Jones backing up Onwualu. No sign of Barajas or Bilal on the two-deep.

Bilal is backing up martini
