This is a 100% spot on. Albeit, I'd argue he would have been 4th or possible 5th string by fall camp with the arrival of Hampton and improvement by the RS Frosh. Also, now that we have true roster management, body types and talent for this defense, we'll see more 2 gapping from the 0/1T. I have our depth chart in Mint not accounting for certain pass package: SAM: Tuioti, Purchase, Winston, Moore DE (3/4i Tech strongside): Caldwell, KWH, Green/Gardner DT (0/1Tech): Hampton, Washington, KWH, Gray/Gardner/Green DE/Jack (3/4/5Tech weakside): Burch, Matayo, Purchase 4-3 scheme for strong rushing teams like tOSU, Michigan, Illinois maybe Rutgers: SAM: Tuioti, Purchase, Winston, Moore DE (3/4i Tech strongside): Caldwell, KWH, Green/Gardner NT (0/1Tech): Hampton, Washington, Gray DE/Jack (3/4Tech weakside): Burch, KWH, Green/Gardner WILL: Matayo, Purchase, Winston, Moore With the additional games played, expected number of blowouts these guys will all see a lot of time.

I have to disagree with you Alex...Position of Need is not Edge. What you really appear to be concerned with is sacks and pressures from the Edge position. Our greatest position of need is a legit backup OT. Quality depth has been addressed through the portal with Harmon and Woodyard as Safety was the other big concern. As for Edge results, there appears to be some misunderstanding of DL concepts related to Edge responsibility. The DE/Jack position is different than the SAM in terms of responsibilities with the DE/Jack and DL playing more of an Okie front where the Edge has almost a 2 gap responsibility on passing downs and is responsible for contain. There's a reason why UW was able to run mercilessly on us once Burch went out. He was arguably the best Edge run defender in the country. I'd also add interior pressure was/is a problem last season and frankly why you saw mostly pressures vs sacks. We now have the iDL talent to collapse the pocket which based upon Edge responsibilities should dramatically impact the JACKs ability to close with a sack because it will essentially eliminate 1 of those gaps. Also With better interior pass rush, you'll see more Sacks from the Edge positions. Additionally, we now have a bigger stronger Tuioti, Purchase and Matayo so don't be surprised if we move Burch inside on passing downs as a 3T and roll with Matayo/Purchase/Tuioti and SAM and Jack on 3rd and long scenarios.

Unfortunately, Frazier isn't coming here unless UGA or Bama no longer want him. Last I heard, he's UGA or Bama. Not to be a downer, but that's the reason we took Riggs. RB isn't really a need in this cycle with James and Dowdell waiting in the wings.

This is not crazy. UW and Utah are woefully overrated. Beavs' lost the players that made that defense solid...Assuming Nix stays healthy, are floor should be 11-1 but think we'll be 12-0.

Basic offense down to 2 scholly RB's, Both starting Tackles are injured and they have a terrible and undersized DL. I'd think we tee off with 5-7 sacks and render them impotent. Don't see Stanford scoring more than 17 and we should go off as they'll have to go cover 1 to deal with the run game. At that point, we'll torch them with the deep ball. Don't be surprised if the score gets out of hand. This is the worst Stanford team I've seen and McKee shouldn't be the QB in a slow mesh scheme, especially without his 2 starting tackles.

Guess I'm different but would like to see it close, and have them to have as few of losses as possible until we play them..and..of course...crush them. Those Husky tears are sweeter when they think they're good. Also, I'd be surprised if they don't drop another 1 to OSU or WSU. Both of them are better than UCLA based upon what we've seen so far. Also, UCLA is down to 3 scholly DT's which doesn't bode well for them this week.

Sala and Bassa are playing really well right now. Unless we're blowing someone out, doesn't really make sense to rotate him in. Conerly isn't quite at their level physically or technique-wise but is getting closer from what I've heard. Last I heard is that he was around 310-315lbs. 100% on keeping him engaged. That is totally the right play vs. how MC utilized Kingsley. I'd guess he'll see PT against Stanford, Colorado, AZ and possibly UCLA. to get him ready for 23'. We keep Jones for next season, and Ope keeps improving, we should be set on the OL with Conerly, Harper, JPJ, Jones, Jaremillo with Ope popping in at RT and Iuli rotating at G positions. We need 1 or 2 more to step up but should foster a solid OL next season.

So...I coached with Neil Lomax in a couple of camps. Shared a couple of key items. This is the biggest misnomer in football is big arm, see...Jeff George...Ryan Leaf...Jamarcus Russell, etc., etc. Judgement, ability to quickly go through progressions/reads, release angle/time and Accuracy up to 40 yds is far more important than the +50 yd. throws. Bo can make the opposite hash throw, etc. His arm is totally strong enough, the biggest problem with the deep ball is overthrowing the ball and not allowing receivers to adjust. Bo has trust in his receivers and doing just that. This requires quality receivers, trust, etc. but with our current personnel he can do this. This is why the 50+yd throw isn't catching guys in stride and why he is making these throws successfully vs. incompletions...example- watch Ty Thompsons deep, overthrown ball.

27 - 23 Ducks Win: - Wearing green shades! Justification I'm basing this on the huge advantage we have in knowing their personnel and schemes. While ours is basically an enigma on offense, the spring game showed us nothing. Even defensively, we've now put Lannings scheme with Baylors scheme for tweaks,etc. It will take a half for Georgia to figure it out. If we're healthy and win the turnover battle , we win - Also, Muschamp isn't Lanning and overrated. His best defense was a decade ago. He's had the same level of talent at other stops (Florida) and still never put together a defense as stout as Lanning. 30 - 17 Georgia Wins: - We lose the turnover battle and make too many mistakes. Our boys make too many mistakes due to inexperience in the system and the talent pool, experience in the schemes and depth of Georgia is too much.

I agree with the premise of more PT for the backups just not the method you suggest. Last quarter, obvious leads, sure...but not without that. It just doesn't work when you're shooting for 12-0. Maybe if you were a 6 win or less type of team with no shot I could get behind this but not sure it helps with confidence or retention for the next season when you pull a guy has one bad series but the two QB rotational method just doesn't work and is really only deployed by teams with little to no chance of winning and looking to gain experience for the next season. Pulling a QB without a solid game winning lead for rotational experience, isn't accounting for looks, bating and deception with coverage schemes that takes in-game reps to pick up on and truly see what's happening. Also there's a rhythm issue that a QB needs as it relates to timing with his receivers, etc. Rotating QB's just doesn't work and the reason you don't see national champions that do this. What might work best is defined scenario's, e.g Florida & Tebo, etc. but in reality, I'd rather see 4-5 blowouts that utilize a rotation with both Butters and Ty.

Don't think you're wrong on this. Not a fan of the technique MC & the dwarf taught. It poses some challenges IMO against speedy shorter DL. Just think it poses too many challenges but to each their own. Ironically, MC's greatest skill...recruiting,..maps to his model of great talent can overcome crappy coaching and still win. Which inevitably, explains so many close wins for us during his tenure instead of mass blowouts.

There's little doubt that he'll pull them in 2024 but we're really struggling and had these guys 5-6 weeks and poof, they're all gone. Not sure if it's NIL, conference, etc. but that is literally the only position group still left out of this cycle. We get Moore tomorrow and likely one more and we'll be done at the edge and have wins at every other position on record. My guess is that we hit the portal but guess we'll just have to see.

We can not afford a single mistake to win this game and as good as our D talent is this season, they still have to perform in a new scheme with no game experience in that scheme against arguably the best OL, RB & Receivers we'll see. I would not want to throw a newbie into that game.

Not happening. Last thing you'll do is throw a couple of newbies out to start their 1st game against a top 3 team. If that happens, we've likely already lost. No, if anything Bo will be a sacrificial lamb.

Unfortunately he's not that tall and doesn't move all that well so likely scheme limitations (if we only knew our scheme:)). He's limited. Basically 2 strikes against him. Unless he's grown taller I find this doubtful. He's strong but seriously overweight and slow.
