Depth chart - assessing strength & weakness

mjmill

Linebackers will be a strong group

donnerstag

The depth there looks as iffy as any position, if not the most ???

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 1:49pm

There are 22 players vying for 6 slots in the 2 deep

donnerstag

8/19/16 1:56pm

Is the talent that is there really available this year to find solid backups?

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 2:01pm

True. The position experience might be on the low side

Heder has the experience and knowledge to be a coach on the field

donnerstag

He's one of those guys with a ceiling though. Experience only gets you so far.

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 2:56pm

I think Unga, Jones, Heder, Amone, Fonua & (surprisingly) Tapusoa

Hope you're right. I love the starters. Depth is a big ? imo

mjmill

8/19/16 1:49pm

We are giving Bernard a pass because we saw his athleticism at RB.

Y'zFan

8/19/16 1:51pm

We really don't know whether or not Bernard or Pu'u can get the job done at LB.

dilbert

8/19/16 2:17pm

I agree. Moving guys from saftey to LB means more speed... Hopefully

LoyalRoyal11

Move DL down (depth at DT), OL down and LB up IMO.

Y'zFan

8/19/16 1:45pm

No way. LB depth looks way more questionable than DL.

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 1:51pm

I agree on depth, but front line talent I think is better and healthy.

Y'zFan

8/19/16 2:36pm

You don't feel good about Mo'unga, Tanielu, Taliauli, Tausinga as depth at DT?

mjmill

8/19/16 1:52pm

Maybe I am missing some info that I should already have on those guys.

Y'zFan

8/19/16 2:38pm

I believe Tuiaki has said good things about all of those guys.

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 3:14pm

The comments I heard weren't as bullish on Mo'unga or Tausinga

Good analysis

4-3, or 3-4 gives you 7 in the box, so the run defense is similar, except

Generally, linebackers are less important in the 4-3, and the guy that benefits most is the mlb, as he gets two monsters

macaroni

Your logic for marking down the LB could also apply to the RB.

shakinbaker

8/19/16 2:29pm

I don't think it's a good comparison. They're not equal

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 2:39pm

Lots of unproven talent behind starters at both.

shakinbaker

8/19/16 4:25pm

Yep. I think there's more talent at RB though.

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 5:04pm

There hasn't been open practice. How

claw

8/19/16 2:41pm

just his opinion

LET'S GET EM! Opinions have no place on this board.

haha. this board cracks me up sometimes you know

I'm worried about the DL, LB, and OL

southernfriedcougar

8/19/16 5:27pm

Wow I'm completely ignorant about the DL

Bgash

8/19/16 5:32pm

While that's true, most of those back-ups didn't get a lot of reps

I'mBatman

8/19/16 6:26pm

I highly doubt they'll have play inside. Maybe sparingly. He's a prototypical 4-3 end. But he is versatile

YIsForBrigham

8/19/16 7:29pm

Three of the DTs are injured

I'mBatman

8/19/16 10:22pm

If lb's prove to be the weak link, there's 4-2-5

hamaca

8/19/16 7:44pm

that's basically what they're playing now.
