2-Deep Released : Lets Obsess unhealthily about it

[John Greene]

A certain HC currently employed in Tuscaloosa uses the starting QB as holder all the time.

He had another the other day on some select personnel:

Stars, transfers and breakout candidates: UConn football players to watch this season

The only thing I draw from a lot of these articles (other than it’s their job to publish something) is that they don’t know anymore about this team than many of us here. Everyone is guessing…

Yes, doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Probably just means Krajewski is the best holder. (not an easy thing to do).

I agree

It just occurred to me that Edsall gave us a two RB starting line-up with only two receivers. It will be interesting to see if we actually use this old fashioned look.

Brewton as a receiver out of the backfield? Burns as a fullback?

My read: it is nice but tells us very little. RE has lineman move around and swing - he doesn't necessarily put the 2nd string guy at that position in. The ORs are classic RE - not giving away anything. Unless he is hurt, you will see McCarthy. Also, since it will be the first game and hot in Fresno, you will see 1st, 2nd and maybe even 3rd string guys to beat the heat and get acclamated to playing.
Also, when have we played 2 different half backs in an offense that doesn't even feature a fullback?

Adds to the intrigue- after 650 plus days - what's a few more!!

So, basically one DB, Lucien, separated himself enough to be listed as a starter.

Here’s a recent snapshot review on Jeremy Lucien from NFL Draft Bible’s Ric Serritella:

I don't remember us ever doing this, always had a fullback, unless Todman and Dixon played in the same backfield??

Good stuff here... Lucien preparing to be great.... Rooting hard for him to take a major step for us at the CB position....

 

[metsfan2323]

We should put Phommachanh in at QB and run the veer. That would be fun. Where is Guapo?

I feel like I remember Edsall talking about doing it back then, don't remember if we ever saw it. If we did it was rare

I've always liked Swenson. Been a little snake bitten with injuries but when he has played he's always been fast to close on ball carriers. Mitchell looks like a real good college LB. Fortt has always been steady if unspectacular. DJ Morgan was real solid in 19. That these 3 guys edged him out in my opinion is a positive development. Morgan will get plenty snaps still I'm sure. Hunter Webb looks the part but we've yet to see anything out of him.

The DL will be key. If they can be stout against the run AND generate some semblance of a pass rush, we could win more than 4 games.

CB's both with real good size. When was last time UConn had two CB's both 6' or taller and 180+ lbs?

 

[noeynox]

Gratz and Blidi-Wreh? Gratz may have been a smidge under. Man those 2 were awesome.

A larger seed of uncertainty ... Will they kick or will they throw.

 

[huskyblooz]

I thought Pace would be on the 2-deep

 

[Pudge]

The Offenses you face are gonna cause the LB (and S/H/dime/nicket) to be fluid. DJ does play solid and is a presence. But I suspect - all over - you see the 210-220 athletes on the field a lot. On the other hand ... some Depth charts you see are gonna have 4 'WR listed (and 8 on Depth) and I hope we are that deep

It wouldn’t surprise me against Fresno state

I wanted to respond with a snarky comment about no way RE will focus on the run, but I decided against it.

High of 102 on sat

There are some “surprises” on here… but I’ll just point out that I am glad to see Brewton and Houston to kick off and Cam Ross and shifty WO Gill to punt return.

 

[Exit 4]

Also, not related to the two deep per se, but hearing Randy say the Darious Bush’s recovery is going week is great news. I expect him to play like a more physical Cam Ross (that’s no knock on Ross!) when up to full speed by end of the season.

uh oh... I'm still real excited about K Marion as a part of that WR as well... Hope we're giving opponents problems from that position all year long... and beyond....
