Post-Spring 2 Deep

[bmayuc]

Has anyone seen it posted?

Any guesses?

 

[gioff23]

I would surmise that it boils down generally to spring game starters on white vs. starters on blue (ex-Tre Bell). I don't think that game in and of itself moved anyone up/down the depth chart.

For me, I don't need to see a depth chart before mid-August. Between now and then, returning kids will need to successfully complete a semester of school, complete a few summer courses, workout, and re-enroll, while the true frosh will need to enroll, take a few courses and start working out. A lot can happen between now and mid-August.

And, for the record, I'd be shocked if a true frosh (or 2 or 3) doesn't end up on 2-deep for Maine.

You need to reverse Hopkins and Vechery Jimmy. Hopkins worked with the 1's all spring and during the Blue/White game. The 1's for the OL after the spring game should read LT: Peart; LG: Hopkins; C: Crozier; RG: Levy; LT: Knappe. Walsh over Levenberry at LB too.

 

[Nostical]

Hopkins will start. So will Walsh.

 

[huskypantz]

If a true frosh was going to make the 2-deep, safety is the easiest path. The beset other opportunities are WR and then RB.

 

[FDNY99]

Hopkins will start. So will Walsh.

Nos one thing you can say about Diaco...if you make the 2 deep in the front 7 of his defense you are going to all get about the same amount of snaps by the end of the year. Those guys are like and/or than 1/2.

 

[gioff23]

No way diggs moves inside

Safety with Hahn is something I posted earlier.

 

[jdb50]

That was the best #2 o-line we have seen in a spring game in quite a while. This is very encouraging and makes me think we will get some balance back in regards to offensive and defensive performance.

Didn't note Hopkins with the ones. Like you said, Walsh/Levenberry or Levenberry/Walsh matters next to nothing. Both will play a significant amount of snaps. We've got crazy depth at LB with guys who have played a lot. Throw Britton into the mix and you've got 9 guys at LB who will likely see the field.

I like your 2 deep. Seems like it'll be pretty spot on. How do you see Alec Bloom fitting in with the TE?

It would not surprise me to see Bloom redshirt this season. As we are finally building some depth, there are a few kids who may redshirt if they don't crack the starting lineup, Rutherford in particular.

Did Bloom not redshirt his freshman year? From what I've noticed (in my not even close to expert eyes) he's show a couple flashes, but needs to work on some things. To me he looked like he could be what Aaron Hernandez was on the field (not the murderer outside of football). A big guy that could run routes as like a receiver. So maybe Jimmy Graham was a better example.

Played as a freshman.

It would be a great sign of we could redshirt Bloom, Rutherford, Hashemi, and Tarbutt.

 

[sportsart]

Maybe we could RS Palatine this year, yes?

Bloom redshirting is probably contingent upon whether Jay Rose is ahead of him on the depth chart, right? Myers, Williams, and then either Bloom or Rose.

I thought Rose was going to play the hybrid TE position like Williams..and Meyers/Bloom were going to play the traditional TE spot.

Was looking over the two deep again and I really like what I see. There's a lot of talent there that will only get better in the summer. As I've said, there are no games on our schedule we can't win. That doesn't mean we'll win them all but none seem to require a Hail Mary effort to be victorious. That wasn't true the last few years. Hopefully with some momentum and street/media buzz about our revitalized downfield passing game, we can re-kindle an excitement on gameday and re-fill the Rent. I'm also hoping we can have an offensive breakout star or two that makes some TV highlight reels---maybe #5, #3, #80, #22, #4. We need to catch a break this year and make a football statement for ...you know who for.
(Sorry Art, but Palatine already burned his redshirt.)

 

[jazyj]

I doubt they would red shirt a player with significant prior playing time that's a tough sell for any coach, because from the player's perspective if you are going to sit out anyway why not just transfer

 

[Palatine]

He's our MVP.

Cespedes has four months to get strong enough to be Knappe's back up. I think he will be starting in a year and four months.

This team goes into the season with the confidence from beating the best team on this year's schedule (last year), a team that ended in the top 10 and will be a top 15 this year. To your point, we can win any game and I think the kids are really going to believe it. It would be so cool to have the Rent sold out, buzzing again. It's been a long time.

What have you done with the real Nostical?

This is just the next step for him. He's now set up the season for 13 Nostical wins . . .
