At no point was McNeil going to be on the first depth chart.Surprises:
1. Phillips beats out Vander Zee
2. Xavier Williams ahead of Nathan McNeil
3. Bryce Hawthorne beats out Jonah Pace
4. X and Koen listed at FS with a slash. This tells me when Parker goes Nickel that Lutmer will move to SS and Koen will move to FS and X comes off.
Never said he was going to be on the depth chart. My surprise is that Xavier was listed ahead of him, based on what we’d been hearing from camp.At no point was McNeil going to be on the first depth chart.
Apparently Hawthorne is a beast. Love it
Well, Xavier is on the depth chart. So for McNeil to be ahead of him might have also landed him on the chart.Never said he was going to be on the depth chart. My surprise is that Xavier was listed ahead of him, based on what we’d been hearing from camp.
Oh I get it. I expect a bunch of people not even on the depth chart to play this week. You also missed the fact that I was joking that our offense has been missing now for years.@Iafb2025 see what I mean?
My guess is a bunch of slot alignments when he is in.5 ft 7 wide receiver? I hope he's fast...
Been a long time since I heard our WR group playing time as super fluid and knowing there is talent there. That is a really good signFrom a beat reporter:
Wouldn't read much into Sam Phillips being listed above RVZ. We heard from Tim Lester and Jon Budmayr that WR spots are super fluid a bunch this summer. RVZ will get plenty of playing time.
Worthless? So you're saying that fans shouldn't expect that most if not all of the players listed as starters will start this week? I think you're probably wrong, but we'll see.Was just going to say this. The depth chart for the offensive side of the ball is basically worthless
If given the choice, I'd rather have a great DL and avg LBs than the other way around. I think back to 2005 when Hodge and Greenway were seniors, but the DL was young and green. I think KF has even said as much in the past.Hearing so much about most positions but what about LB. Iowas always been so strong in the middle of the d but will this year be more of a strong front and backend?

Wr room goes about 8-9 deep with legit b10 receivers...finally get to see some talent there!Been a long time since I heard our WR group playing time as super fluid and knowing there is talent there. That is a really good sign

Kirk is a clock eater. Don't say that too fast.Lester has said that he is always looking for the big play. KF, on the other hand....![]()

Interesting dynamic. I'm guessing KF will be fine with trying for big plays as long as they still move the chains.Kirk is a clock eater. Don't say that too fast.

So, will I. Really tired of countless 3 and outs. Time of possession and field position will help this new defense find it's footing.
Of course, if the offense scores in 2 plays I probably won't mind either!![]()
