Curious to see what everyone thinks, but for what it's worth here's my thoughts

QB: still all in on rohach until proven otherwise

HB: same as this year, 3 man rotation with white, woody, and Johnson

WR: Jarvis west, Quenton bundrage, Albert Gary, maybe p.j. Harris but I could be dreaming on that one

TE: Brun

o-line: dagel, tuftee, farniok, licthenberg, and not sure of the 5th but I'm hoping to see duaron Williams thrown into the mix
 
QB: why are people doubting SR? He is still young and has proven he can make plays. I'm not doubting Rohach though, if we can get an Okie St. type of QB battle, I'd be ok with that!

RB: White, Johnson(hoping he recovers well)Nealy, Woody, maybe Standard? What about Ju-Co transfer Aaron Wimberly? I've heard nothing but good things about him. Would be surprised if he didn't see the field.

WR: Hoping for big things from Bundrage. Also both Wests (Jarvis and Quan), Gary, maybe Tad Ecby or another youngster?

TE: Brun and Bibbs hopefully seeing some 2 tight end sets. Very dangerous.
 
Add:

Bibbs to the RB rotation.

Quan West at WR.

I enjoyed watching Rohach and Harris working together both on the field and on the sidelines during the Gridiron game.
 
Bibbs needs to be added in there with Brun. Expect to see more Nealy especially if Johnson's comeback from injury has some bumps in it. Richardson will still have something to say about QB battle even if Rohach is the real deal.

Until proven otherwise? Funny thing to say given otherwise is the only thing to have been proven.

Bibbs at TE and Wimberly at RB have good chances to see starter type reps. Gannon and Litchenberg are at OT imo.
 
My dream o-line would be:

T - Lichtenburg
G - Tuftee
C - Farniok
G - Dika
T - Gannon

But that requires Dika to get healthy.
 
QB: Sam Richardson for now, but Grant Rohach could be a factor in the QB race along with Jared Barnett

RB: James White with Jeff Woody, DeVondrick Nealy, and Rob Standard also getting carries. If Shontrelle Johnson recovers from his knee injury fast enough, throw him into the mix as well.

WR: Quenton Bundrage, Jarvis West, and Albert Gary start, with Quan West, Tad Ecby, JaQuarius Daniels, and others factoring in as well.

TE: Obviously Ernst Brun with potentially Emmanuel Bibbs getting some playing time at TE.

O-Line: Brock Dagel at LT, Ethan Tuftee at LG, Tom Farniok at C, Kyle Lictenberg at RG, and Jacob Gannon at RT with potentially Jamison Lalk factoring in at that position as well.

I am definitely expecting to see Wimberly on the field a lot. I think he is a big time player. I have heard some rumblings about using him at some slot wide receiver. ( This was before SJ injury) Gives us another option for yard after catch type wide out which i feel is a weakness.
 
QB: Sam Richardson
Jared Barnett as the backup (if he doesn't transfer after spring)

RB: James White OR
Shontrelle Johnson
Jeff Woody

Rotation between White and Johnson with Woody being the hammer in short yard situations. I don't see Wimberly or Nealy getting near as many carries as the other three.


Outside Receivers: Albert Gary, Quenton Bundrage

Inside Receivers: Jarvis West, Tad Ecby

Tight End: Ernst Brun

Offensive Tackles: Brock Dagel and Kyle Lichtenberg

Offensive Guard: Ethan Tuftee and Jacob Gannon

Center: Tom Farniok
 
Does anyone else think we really underuse Brun as a pass catching tight end? This guy is 6'3"-6'4" 250 lb tight end with speed and decent hands. Not to mention he tied for the lead in TDs on our team. The NFL is using guys like this for 8-10 catches a game and I don't see why he isn't getting 8-10 targets from our qb's especially given our trouble of hitting receivers farther downfield...

He is already the No 1 target imo, and like you said, led the team in TDs. It is not as much under-using him as the offense not being good enough to allow for more targets/catches. When you only run 50-some plays (Tulsa game), there just are not enough snaps. Plus, our offense clutters up the areas where a TE typically makes a living.

don't hold your breath on that one.
 
Everybody on here says they expect Wimberly getting a lot of carries. I dont see how that is possible. We all know the 3 RB's he used this season didnt get enough carries, how are we going to spread the carries around to 4 or 5 RB's. I think they should redshirt him, then the next year, he will be the starter.

James White, Brun, and then Gary may be our best pass catchers. Wonder how Wimberly catches the ball.
