Game 1 Depth Chart / Game Notes | Ohio

[gocraz4dasu]

Ibn McDaniels getting an OR spot next to Bellamy is my biggest surprise of this first depth chart. He was a late add and thought of as a raw product needing development. Bellamy has been getting some hype so it’s very interesting that’s how it shook out. You wonder how much of this is roster management as opposed to what the actual depth chart is, which we will see play out over the first couple of games. Watson at DT and Ross at WR were both nice surprises too.

Didn’t think the back-up QB spot would be OR’d but it makes some sense.

Trevion Mack looks like he’s going to be a good player in the near future.

Umari Hatcher having such a nice camp and being a starter is really good to see. I’ll be honest and say that I did not see that coming in the spring. I had moved past him and looked for another player to take over, but it appears he stepped up. I’m excited for week 1!

Yeah it says "positions listed as OR are listed in numerical order by jersey number." So basically, there is no DT at the top of the depth chart at this moment.

Ohh nice catch. Didn't realize that. Thats interesting. But Simmons and Lesaine Jr. at DE don't follow this procedure.

Along with JRS and Dave W being injured I’m guessing Nwokocha is dinged up.

Other question is Heard over ZMG? Surprise or injury?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Not to compare, but not even Dino Babers depth chart innovations could imagine this many "ors."

Heard is definitely a surprise. ZMG is always mentioned in those 4 LBs that break off into a separate group. It makes me wonder if there’s an unknown injury.

I really loved Ibn's highlights. I think he'll be very good soon but considering he arrived in the summer certainly dindn't expect an Or on the second line with Bellamy of all people. I still expect Bellamy to play more but I think it is hopefully a nod to the kid looking good out there. Love Barnes and Ibn as freshman CB's in this class..

At some point it ceases to be a depth chart.

More like a Depth Seven-Layer Dip?

Yes.

I think with the transfer portal, coaches are more reluctant than ever to make any statement that might be construed by players as a negative.

I suspect some of the 'ors' we see here are driven more by fears the staff has of alienating players than reality.

And honestly, if that is what it takes to retain players, the staff should do it.

A depth chart full of “or”s screams “detail and accountability.”

the 4 guys atop their position on the dline have a combined total jersey number of 34

I dont know about injuries but I wasnt impressed with the little I saw from Nwokocha last spring

I wish the interior D line had some more beef. I think we’ll miss Braylen Ingraham. Hopefully the guys there will hold down the fort.

I think our DBs have a habit of getting beaten deep. I think that’s why we see Barnes and the other freshman where they are.

I totally expected ZMG there and I’m a bit disappointed he’s not. However, Heard is supposed to be talented, particularly at pass rush, so we’ll see how that shakes out.

Biggest name not on there because of injury in my opinion is Ross-Simmons. We’ll see how this group of WRs gets off the line but he’s a big strong body that can do damage. Let’s hope he can make a dent this year.

Braylen wasnt good last season. He's been struggling with injuries since he got to SU. We have 3 new starters in the secondary. What are you referring to when you say " getting beaten deep"?

Assuming Perry Watson Miles Hastings as the core DT underclassmen, Nwokocha has a lot of work to do. Hope he rises to challenge.

 

[JRHEETER]

Don’t be surprised to see OL still rotate in, even tho that starting OL has been pretty solid from the start

I expect a couple of those 2s on the OL to play more than a few downs this season

 

[PhatOrange]

So of the DL, the guy missing from the depth chart is Nwokocha the JUCO

Bellamy? Cause he was iffy last year. I’m glad he’s on the 2 line.

On a first depth chart it could signal the jobs are still competitive, or could just be gamesmanship.

 

[PhatOrange]

No Greg Delaine… I was curious to see if he would make the chart.

There’s 10 new guys starting who were not with the program last year (transfers). Four an offense and six on defense, that’s a pretty big roster flip.

 

[CdnGuy]

David Wohlabaugh Jr isn't ready yet, I guess... HCFB said he was on a snap count during camp.

Well played, my friend. Well played.

I think a depth chart full of "ors" screams the competition between our players didn't end with Summer Camp.
