Some Surprises on the Depth Chart

Littleton isn't good and has never been good.

2013 stats:

#6 in tackles

#2 in TFL

#2 in sacks

I would put 0 into this seating chart. You could tell Coach Pete put it out only to be compliant and both Ross and Littleton will see a lot of PT.

I still think Daniels would be a beast at OLB.

A bit surprised about Qualls. I like these shake ups though. Can only motivate the more "name"players to step their shit up. Petamus gets my full vote of confidence when it comes to player eval.

He's not a star, but he's decent. 62 tackles, 10 TFL, and 5 sacks. That's tough to do if you are not any good. He never redshirted and is going into his junior year. He's another example of a guy who should have redshirted. He's certainly better than Finau. He actually was in on a lot of plays but missed the tackle. Something must be up with him because Bob Gregory said he was having as good of camp as any LB maybe two weeks ago.

Baker starting more an endorsement of him, or indictment of rest of safeties?

Baker is good.

So is Beaver.

Depth is an issue in the secondary, not talent at the starting spots.

Petersen is loathe to have a true depth chart, similar to Saban. It doesn't mean as much as we think it does. Perhaps at some positions it can be taken literally while at others not so much.

He actually is starting as kick returner

I still believe those young players in the secondary for the last class have exceeded expectations for the staff. I remember in spring, and then before fall camp coaches were saying Ross, and even Mickens may have to play both ways. Basically, after the first week you have not heard one coach even mention that now. Hale, Budda, Jones, Gardenhire, McIntosh, and Lewis is a really solid young group to grow with going forward. I think the coaches are pretty happy about how they have come in, and how the secondary looks going forward (Beaver, Kelly, King all still young too)

So you're saying either way it will be interesting.
