In this post I will attempt to breakdown who will contribute for us next fall. I am no insider and I don't claim to be, but I'm hoping this thread will open up discussions about who will fill in some voids. Some things to note:
- I separated the TE and HB Positions. I know we can't play 12 guys on offense.
- I'm assuming we sign the Lassiter kid who we are looking at playing HB/FB, K. Britt, C. Ashley, TD Moultry and A. Carlson as they crack the 2-3 deep below.
- I added certain players on here not because I believe he should play or be there, but the coaches see them in a different light then myself and others.
- I feel like the coaches need to find a way to get M. Miller some playing time at HB if he gets stuck behind 2-3 people at RB. He may be able to give Cox a breather for a few plays and can provide depth.
- I have probably misspelled someone's name.

- I'm really not familiar with who we will have at 2nd or 3rd string Guard or Tackle. I think guys like Tyler Carr or Bailey Sharp could slide in those slots.
-I'm not familiar with which numbers Malzahn uses and how they correlate to WR. We have 6 receivers above that can play and the coaches need to stop getting cute with rotating players and let the best guys play.

- I'm interested to hear people's thoughts about the Buck position. I'm hoping that Coe can be the guy that surprises us this year. We lack an elite pass rusher on this roster that I have seen thus far. M. Davidson is a great all around player but we need a pure edge rush player who can effect the pocket from the Buck position. Could we move M. Davidson to DT on 3rd down and let him channel his inner Fairley? Holland has not shown me enough at this point to make me believe he will ever start for us.
- I'm looking forward to seeing what A. Jackson and Paul James can do to boost our depth at DL. Rodney G. loves to rotate 8-10 guys to keep players fresh (I believe this may be 2-3 players to many).
- I'm not sold on D. Thomas at the Nickel, but the coaches may start him. I think he has a lot of potential but we have other proven backups at Safety and Corner who could provide a boost at the position.
