DB Depth Chart

Posed this question in another thread but I think after the big injury it deserves its own.

What’s the depth chart now in what’s a pretty thin secondary:

RCB:
LCB:
STAR:
SS:
FS:

RCB: Gibson

Knowing our staff, it is highly unlikely they’ll start Boo, especially since they let Doneko Slaughter, Wesley Walker, GJL and McCollough start over some of the other guys in the secondary

What’s the depth chart now in what’s a pretty thin secondary:

RCB:
LCB:
STAR:
SS:
FS:

Corner : Ricky Gibson, Jalen McMurray
Corner: Jermod McCoy, Jordan Mathews
Star: Christian Charles or Boo Carter, Christian Harrison
Safety: Jakobe Thomas, Christian Charles or John Slaughter
Safety: Andre Turrentine, William Wright or Christian Charles again, Will Brooks

A lot of guys I like that I can’t imagine playing a huge roll especially early in the year

Examples: Edrees Farooq, Kaleb Beasley, Marcus Goree

Brooks will not be starting lol

Dont count on that. Banks has proven he loves upperclassmen with experience and he checks both boxes

 

[Hbd10]

if brooks is starting then we are in trouble

Star will be Boo and safeties will be Turrentine and Jakobe

I think this one is most likely so far.

 

[VOLfrombama]

Star will be Boo and safeties will be Turrentine and Jakobe

I don’t see Banks starting a true freshman.

 

[VolsSince78]

Brooks will not be starting lol

Brooks already started at S in the last game last year vs Vandy, and played nearly all of the 2nd to last game vs UGA.

Don’t know about starting, but he could be in at S again, especially early season if some younger more athletic guys are still in learning mode.

Really hope & pray they can stay healthy from here, and come on youngsters!

Hoping our DL / LBs can get some good pressure on the QB.

If not, we're looking at a bunch of 52-49 games against high-octane offensive teams.

Seriously? One safety does make the entire secondary.

It’s in Charles’s season right now. Football always throws curve balls. And now all the setbacks during Charles early career have put him here right now to gain a starting spot on the most talented defense we’ve had since Heupel got here.

Boo Carter will definitely factor in and maybe start, but Christian Charles will lead this group.

RCB - Gibson, McMurray, Wright, Goree
LCB- McCoy , Matthews , Beasley
STAR- Charles , Carter, Harrison
SS- Jak Thomas, J Slaughter, Harrison
FS- Turrentine , Carter, Brooks, Farooq

Harrison could be a nice answer for depth at safety and STAR

This lineup is still twice is good as anything we’ve had since Heupel has been here.

We’re not that thin and mind you this DB unit is playing with the best pass rushing Dline, and very good LBs

Uhhh... refering to the ~10 DBs we lost from last year.

It's no secret that our secondary seems to be our biggest weakness this season.

 

[rdk4121]

I won't be shocked to see Jalen McMurray or Jordan Matthews slide over to star as well. I also won't be shocked to see Carter start.

We're pretty thin in the secondary now. Thomas was probably the guy I felt the 2nd most confident in behind Turrentine.

 

[KeyVol14]

Uhhh... refering to the ~10 DBs we lost from last year.

And which of them were good? Maybe Kamal


We upgraded at every position in the secondary. They just need experience

 

[DaddyChad]

Uhhh... refering to the ~10 DBs we lost from last year.

So putting any of those 10 we lost last year back on the field would’ve made you feel better? Most of them sucked.

Guys like him feel comfort in blaming someone before anything goes wrong. You know, just in case.

Relative weakness. That's all I'm saying. It's a largely unproven unit that hasn't played together.

It is but the others were proven. Proven to suck other than Hadden.

Heh. Or maybe I'm just raising questions about our team's secondary. Our D spends alot of time on the field and we can't afford DB injuries.

 

[Other_Guy]

Brooks will not be starting lol

Austin Price would disagree with your dismissal.

Well he is a chad.

Man it’s hard enough to be confident in this secondary as it is. I just keep having to remind myself that the ball should never get that far with our DL and LB blocking the way.
I really hope that this group has heard all the negativity and vitriol thrown their way over the past year and they play with their hair on fire and shut everybody up. GBO
