    Without Hampton our Db group seems small. Hopefully Kam Fab and Bookie can hit at 190lbs

    So Bralen Trice is going to be better than Tryon, but is behind McDonald and equal to Martin. That was clearly bullshit.

    Interesting safety combination. Hopefully an indication that they'll be playing closer to LOS since they're going for speed and coverage ability, but I doubt it. Was really hoping to see Hampton play in the box like McIntosh, but of course that was never going to happen.

    Speculating, but I think McDonald, Martin, and Trice rotate quite a bit to see how it shakes out on the field.

    My shit takes; Ale being a backup is not surprising. Newton and Davis at RB is a good combo to share the bulk of the carries, IMO. I think the DB spots are going to mix and match the first few weeks of the season.
    Yeah I'm sure there's a reason behind every detail of the depth chart. It doesn't mean we'll see those exact lineups on the field much, if at all.

    Hampton is an example. I bet he ends up on the field for more than half the snaps within a few games. I also bet that Trice and Martin combined get more snaps at OLB than McDonald.

    I can see us running dime on a lot of 3rd downs, where Hampton will come in and Sirmon will go out.

    Kind of funny that Gordon and McDuffie are our 2 biggest DBs and they're the corners.

    Mcdonald, Martin, Smalls, and trice are all better then Tryon too.

    Tryon had potential but was overall nothing special.

    Arians looks to be getting him to play to his potential.

    Unless Cal and Oregon and Utahs 2019 offensive line was NFL calber.

    Had he played last year, I think he goes too 10.

    I really like that Jimmy is replacing starters from last year. Having guys like Ale, Pleasant, Asa not just automatically be given their starting spots back is a good sign.

    The big question is, which "starter" on the depth chart will we hate first and say "what the hell were the coaches thinking starting ______________?"

    My worry is they geek out over a couple good practices and put worse players in starting roles based off a few good plays in practice.

    It’s hard to find the right balance. The gamer myth Pete hated is mostly true. Most good football players are always good. That said, football can be a drain and guys aren’t always super motivated to have great practices every single time.

    I hope this is a case of Kam Fab and Irvin simply being better, but the depth chart at safety has been changing three straight seasons. It would be nice to find some stalwarts that start for a few years.
    Good news is they have one preseason game to figure out if the best guys are starting or at least what you can glean from one game.

    He was awesome vs utah and not so vs cal and oregon.

    He was just coming into his own and his college career ended.

    It's stupid to evaluate him based on results alone unless you have an agenda. PGOS's agenda is to contradict DDY and Coker at every perceived opportunity. Others want to emulate them. Some want to cling to his slow start in 2019, others ignore that entirely and only see where he was at the end.

    It all matters and everyone is party right. I thought Tryon was a future first rounder based in his general freakishness, but was still waiting for him to show it at UW. He didn't. I called him a bad early pick because he hadn't proven anything to me in the field even though I thought it was just a matter of time.

    I was half wrong there, it seems. He's kicking ass.
    Disagree.

    I only contradict them when theyre wrong.

    Which, admittedly, is often

    The 1960 throwbacks were cool in 2010 but the team sucked

    And we missed the 60th anniversary last season

    It was 07 I thought. Because that was the first year they recognized it.

    I'm sorry but these are about as far off from the 1991 unis as you can get while trying to mimic them. I like them if they didn't call them '91 throwbacks
