As long as our skill guys pan out, I still predict he ends up on the defensive side of the ball before he is done ala Hogue. Would have to be his last 2 years.

Blocking and blitz pick-up assignments holding him back?

Would prefer to see Broyld moved to weakside DE. To summarize from what I've heard on the board he has difficulty catching the ball and trouble with the playbook. Weakside DE solves these problems. Ashton, you used to be a QB. Here is the other teams QB. Make his life miserable.

This is exactly where I have wanted to see him moved. I don't see anywhere on offense he really fits in well that doesn't seem forced. Why not use his speed and athleticism in a position of need ?

Any news about a player switching to WR?
I'm seriously worried about wideout... Jerrod West and Chris Clark are our starters?
I really hope some deep strike capabilities show up, or all this running game/short passing game optimism is a moot point...
Hopefully West and Kobena can stretch the field and keep defenses honest...
Isn't Kinder blazing fast?

No. He is not blazing fast.

He will transfer before he moves to defense.

His mistake. He was advised in HS if he wants to play at the next level it would probably have to be on defense.

No?
1s are West, Flemming, Clark.
2s are Funderburk, Cornelius, Kobena.
Lewis looked good before he was injured. We're fine here.

I must have missed that, what happened to Lewis?
Shoulder, I think.
I think he had surgery around the same time as PTG and D. Davis.

I do not think that AB will be switched to D as i know that they have big plans for him in place on O. He was by all accounts having an outstanding spring prior to the sprain. Also AB doesnt have the mentality to play D so i highly doubt that he ever moves. One player who i think might have a chance at moving would be Washington to DE.

This is what they need to do with broyld, and kobena - just get them the ball in open space

Broyld will get a look at WR, its the weakest offensive skill position by far right now and the biggest concern going into next season. Theres a big time depth issue amongst other things.

I've never been enamored with West as others have been, but he'll be decently productive and probably improve on last year's numbers, which were very good for a third wideout.
Flemming's never done anything. I don't want that to be taken as a harsh critique, but the primary thing you put a receiver on the field for, catching passes, he's never done.
If Clark modestly improves on what he did last year I'll be ecstatic.
Funderburke was everyone's darling, but who knows what he'll provide. I think he'll play, I don't think he'll be the immediate star some were hoping for.
Cornelius I think is a guy to get excited about.
At the end of the season I predicted Kobena would be our breakout WR on offense this next season. I think he's been a little bit underused in the passing game.
Lewis might be interesting.
I also suspect the TEs and MacFarlane will get a good number of catches.

I would have to think Kinder moves somewhere. its not happening at QB and come the fall we will have 6 QBS. Now where exactly he moves, beats me. Safety?
I agree with most of that. Apart from West, we have WR by committee, rather than one or two who will star. Clark is very underrated, and will be just fine -- but he is Van Chew minus 10 lbs, and that means you need others ready to step in.
The solution is your last line -- especially if Thompson is healthy; and add Broyld as another receiver out of the backfield. No chance that Broyld gets switched to defense. One of the better offensive talents on the team, and the coaches will find ways to use him.
