Surprised Caleb Wooden is not listed on the depth chart at safety?

[WFE12 9,191]

Dawson gets the start. Here we go.

[Didba 5,256]

Really excited about this WR group

[DAG 33,955]

I am looking at you shed Jackson. Need that chip on shoulder mentality 

[Didba 5,256]

McPherson is a paper bag out there😂

[abw0004 10,104]

Where is Landon King?

[FASTCOMPANY 394]

CO starters at RG has me scratching my head. I could have sworn Stutts was logging the LG spot. Is Jones hurt or injured?

Still learning the WR position but he's a matchup nightmare. I'm sure he'll have a package or two to work with.

Yea I’m confused too. I though Jones was our best lineman.

With how much people have talked him up, it's interesting he isn't listed as an TE or a hybrid TE/WR slot.

Yeah, and Stutts has been talked up all camp. Don't understand our best two linemen(?) being at the same position.

Hopefully that's a sign that we have some real ballers at the WR position

While i do believe that is wishful thinking, we do only list 3 wr slots. We should still go 4 and 5 wide many times this year.

I think I heard on one of the beat podcasts that he doesn’t have all the routes down and will be used situationally.  I’d imagine we’ll see him near the goal line often.

Mentioned that earlier. Sounds like a good problem to have. YES, he should be a matchup nightmare in the red zone.

His brother is a beast and maybe little brother will get up to around 165 lbs after S&C for kickers. 😝

That starting D is no joke. 

Can someone tell me about Jake Levant? I'm ashamed to say I didn't even recognize the name. And he's listed alongside Asante.

Correct-a-mundo. Managed a few INTs and has really earned it.
