If rumors are to be believed it seems like everyone but Sapp, McKenzie, Reeves-Maybin, and Sutton will be back. Here seems to be the two deep halfway through the year.

QB- Dobbs/Dormady
RB- Hurd/Kamara/Kelly
WR- Malone/Johnson
WR-Jennings/George
WR- Byrd/Smith
TE- Wolf/Croom
LT- Kendrick/Richmond
LG- Robertson/Boulware
C- Weisman/Thomas
RG- Jones/Weisman
RT- Hall/Tatum

DE-Barnett/Phillips
DT- Tuttle/Kongbo
DT- Vickers/Picau
DE- Vereen/Mixon and Lewis
WLB-McDowell/Berry
MLB- Kirkland/Jumper
SLB- Bates/Bynum
CB- Moseley/Osborne
CB- Foreman/Buchanan
NB- Gaulden/Foreman
S- Kelly/Griffin
S- Abernathy/Berry

That's my guess

you would think wolf would have 40 catches by now since our passes are 5 yards down the field

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that Kirkland and Jumper start at both LB spots since Kirkland is athletic enough to play both spots and knows the defense well enough also.

It looks like Kyle Phillips has grown into a defensive tackle. He was playing DT exclusively against Alabama. That's strange to me, given how he was characterized as a rangy speed rusher like Jevon Kearse in high school.

I hope that was out of necessity and not that the coaches moved him. If so, that's just a complete mismanagement of a player with great potential by this staff. No wonder he wanted to transfer before the season.

Did you see the AM QB run around him? He might have been a speed rush DE in high school but he's grown into a DT now. He needs to embrace it. He can be an impact DT if he does.

Phillips will be playing DT because the coaches have no choice. The numbers are just not there. We better hope that McKenzie's injury is not long term.

Not if he wants to see the field this season.

He seem to have forgotten how to run routes and how to catch passes. Tis are also to be able to block. How does a player forget to do these things, which he did well before?

I understand moving him this season. I was referring to moving him to DT for the rest of his career. I think if he gets moved there he probably transfers and really probably never sees the field over guys like Tuttle, KMac, Johnson, Picou, and the other DT we have committed in this class right now. I'm okay with moving him to DT this season I just don't like it for the future. I think he'll just get lost or set back in his development like the other players the staff has moved positions.
