Not on the two deep. I wonder if he will play a specialty type hybrid position that isn’t listed like: Nickel, Dime and Duck-R

Still think we will see Breon Dixon in certain 3rd down packages...

Just bacause we don’t see him on the 2 deep depth chart doesn’t mean he won’t be contributing...

I’d be really shocked if he isn’t on some special teams especially Kick offs..

Hmmm....maybe something going on with Dixon? Injury or something off-the-field related? Hard to see him not making the 2-deep at least as an -OR.

Nope, we will definitely see Dixon. As a few mention he will definitely get in there on passing downs. He’s got the speed and a good coverage LB. probably one of better LBs I’m coverage and pass rushing.

Surprised to see Reimers and Hunt ahead of McQuitty.

Also Miles Jones ahead of Bradley, Wilbon, and Mazour.
Jones doesn't surprise me too much. I've heard too many positive comments about him from the coaches. Mazour has missed some practice I think. All of these guys are going to play IMO and we're probably making too much of the first 2-deep. Things can change pretty quickly once the live ammo starts flying on game day. This is going to be fun to watch and I hope that the kids not on the 2-deep bust their butts to get there.

We keep hearing about the 3 phases of the game. Offense, defense and special teams. I expect that some of the guys missing from the O and D 2-deeps are going to show up as starters on special teams. Frost is big believer on having some of his best players playing special teams.

I’m pretty sure Breon will play a lot. They just announced the depth chart for the 3-4. Chinander will use the Nickel often and has mentioned Breon playing in that package.

Compare Breon to a Eric Hagg and Dejon Gomes their Jr yrs. They wouldn’t show in your traditional 4-3 depth chart but they both played the majority of the season.

Just so this doesn't get lost amidst all the lively TG bashing, HCSF said they might be redshirting Breon.

Unleash him when emergency!
