If we can get away with 12 on D we should be really tough. 13 would be even better.

Where did the Eastern Washington WR sign?

Indy Coug

1/25/23 1:26pm

Freddie Roberson? He's at Miss St

krindorr

1/25/23 1:28pm

What about Hagen at QB? And Sol-Jay is an RB now.

2FarGone

1/25/23 1:26pm

Has Sol-Jay really officially been moved to RB?

krindorr

1/25/23 1:30pm

According to him, yes and slot and punt returner.

2FarGone

1/25/23 1:31pm

Link? Probably a better fit and more opportunity for him this way

krindorr

1/25/23 1:33pm

There is no link, he confirmed this himself to the cougconnect subscribers

JOPE

I love this change. He is so quick and elusive. That bowl game performance

Seems like Micah Wilson starting would be a surprise, but I don't really know.

JuicyJam

1/25/23 1:28pm

Honestly, at LB I just threw one of the many names into that spot - no idea which one it will be

krindorr

1/25/23 1:29pm

Ideally, it would be Chaz in a base 4-3, but when we go nickel, add Robinson

Captain Stubing

1/25/23 1:37pm

I don't believe our base will be a 4-3, it will be a 4-2-5 but we'll see

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/25/23 1:51pm

Yup, there's a reason I listed 4 DL, 3 LB, 3 CB, 2 S. Because we'll likely use all of those 12 as "starters"

Our safeties were so far out of position at times last year I wondered if only

typo... thanks

krindorr

1/25/23 2:46pm

No worries. It was TIC.

slatecoug

1/26/23 1:56pm

I honestly wondered sometimes what our defense was doing...

Tmoney1969

1/25/23 2:16pm

And the two safeties were in a two-deep, cover 2 look

Captain Stubing

1/25/23 2:42pm

Please hold together, Chaz! He, Bywater & Tooley could very much be Big12-worthy

SinkingQuffa

1/25/23 2:29pm

Tevita Gagnier played well in the few games he was in, bet he's in the 2 Deep

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/25/23 4:23pm

They may run a 4-2-5 as far as personnel

I'mBatman

1/25/23 7:19pm

We don't have stars on the DL, but we're solid, probably not a spot we're looking for portal additions

krindorr

1/26/23 6:05am

2 guys we'll miss the most on D IMO: DAngeloMandell and Kaleb Hayes

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/25/23 2:00pm

Ya, but we didn't use them to press. Did we play press man at all last year?

Captain Stubing

1/25/23 2:43pm

Not sure. We definitely did in 20 and 21 as I recall

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/25/23 3:30pm

Don't we still have Caleb Christensen at CB? Wouldnt he be in the 2-deep?

LifeLongLakerFan

1/25/23 2:06pm

Maybe - he wasn't last year, but the backup situation at CB is very fluid

krindorr

1/25/23 2:50pm

Caleb was on the roster in 2022.

LifeLongLakerFan

1/25/23 6:08pm

Right, he wasn't in the 2 deep last year

krindorr

1/25/23 6:10pm

Pretty sure he got playing time throughout the year.

LifeLongLakerFan

1/25/23 6:32pm

I know he played in special teams...didn't see him elsewhere

krindorr

1/25/23 6:40pm

You’re correct

I'mBatman

1/25/23 7:23pm

I'm excited to see if some of the defensive guys we already had turn out to be better than we thought simply

Interested to watch Schoonover at MLB. He's a guy that I think could move to DE

machete

1/25/23 4:11pm

He sure seems like a DE: 6-4 240 listed size

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/25/23 4:18pm

Saw him on the field after the Stanford game. He was big.

JuicyJam

1/25/23 4:19pm

Wouldn’t be surprised if Marcus McKenzie makes the two-deep at CB.

CrimWalCoug

1/25/23 4:24pm

CB and LB are probably the two positions with the most room for someone to step up

krindorr

1/26/23 6:32am

We got George Maile too? Did Gabe Summers leave? Udo?

BYU '80

1/25/23 4:40pm

Paul Maile, not George. Gabe Summers sounds like he's gone. Haven't heard much on Udo

krindorr

1/25/23 6:12pm

George Udo left? Jackson McChesney?

gocougs719

1/25/23 7:07pm

I've heard McChesney has injuries that make it questionable for him to play

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/25/23 7:28pm

Unknown, so I'm erring on the side of not expecting them
