If this can be read as a depth chart, Servais has passed Byrne at Center and Bradshaw, Frederick, and Foster are the early winners of defensive back musical chairs.

If this can be read as a depth chart, Servais has passed Byrne at Center and Bradshaw, Frederick, and Foster are the early winners of defensive back musical chairs.

Indeed. If the order of the linemen indicate positions on the OL, Heckel is the two team C right now, and Byrne the backup RG.

Based on what I know about the OL, I think this is the case. Though we know the staff has played games with the depth chart in the past...

Moe Neal is listed with the RBs exclusively. It will be interesting to see if he gets any snaps at WR. I wonder if they moved him because there were only 2 scholarship RBs available on the roster right now?
