I know I know, another depth chart. I started putting together a depth chart for next season. I wanted to go look at the official depth chart though to remind myself what positions each WR played, for instance who did Green backup? Westbrook or Neal? That sorta thing. Well I noticed looking at the official depth chart...it's actually updated. Remember the beginning of the year? Bothun ahead of Quick, St. John ahead of Samia. Usually OU never updates this thing but I clicked on it and the dat gum thing looks 100% accurate with what you see on Saturdays. Quick is now ahead of Bothun, Samia ahead of St. John, even the safeties have Haughton as A. Thomas' backup, and Sunderland as Parker's, and with D.J. Ward it says "or" Roberts. He must've came on lately. Anyways, I thought that was cool and I don't remember anyone mentioning it.
My questions to you though.
Who will be doing the kickoffs? I realize the obvious answer is Seibert, but is he going to do all 3 roles, kickoffs, punts, and FGs? That's a lot.
Who will be the punt returner? Do they just play it safe and just keep Sanchez back there to fair catch? Or do they roll with Mixon, Baxter, or Brooks?
Either way, here is what I think we'll get as of today.
QB: Mayfield / Thomas / T. Knight
RB: Perine / Mixon / Anderson
HB: Flowers / C. Knight
YWR: Andrews / Flowers / Meier
HWR: Baxter / Quick / Humphrey
XWR: Westbrook / Green / Mead
ZWR: Parker / Miller / Todd
RT: Frison / Samia / Mittermeier?
RG: Samia / Ford / Mittermeier
C: Alvarez / Wren / Hearne
LG: Dalton / Julious / Danley
LT: Brown / Evans / ?
DE/OLB: Obo / Deberry / Kelley
DT: Romar or Wade or Overton
DT: Walker or Dimon / Gallimore
DE: Ward or Roberts / Mann
MLB: J. Evans / McGinnis / Bolton
MLB: Alexander / T. Evans / JMT
NB: Johnson / Parker / Haughton
CB: Sanchez / Austin / Green
CB: J. Thomas / Mbanasor / Taylor
FS: A. Thomas / Haughton / Byrd
SS: Parker / Sunderland / McKinney
