Just wanted to get some input on what players might end up changing positions. Campbell and staff are not shy about doing this, and I kinda like it... We have seen DT's move to the o-line, a QB move to TE, a QB move to LB, a WR move to CB, a safety move to LB, safeties that move to corner and vice versa... I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

I think the two most obvious moves for 2020 would be....

1. Enyi moving into the interior of the d-line. He played there as a freshman a bit and we will need some experience in the middle after losing Lima and Johnson. Plus, we have some depth at DE with JaQuan, Petersen and McDonald, as well as a couple redshirt freshmen and Johnny Wilson coming in.

2. Milton moving back to the slot. He did average 20 yards per catch this year, but didn't have a lot of catches. IMO he is a natural slot WR and is far more dangerous there. I get that you want your best players on the field, hence moving him to the outside, but Deshaunte is gone so Milton should be the #1 guy in the slot, with Shaw taking over that outside position and then there will be a battle for the #3 spot.

I know there are plenty of things to improve on, but I'm excited to see how much talent returns next year. Just have to clean up a few things and we should be fine.

Brock needs to change his position from standing 5 yards back to a position under center on certain short yardage plays

The offense needs to change the position of the ball into the end zone, and the defense needs to not let the ball change positions. Ever.

This might not be the most popular opinion but I wonder if they look at Jirehl as a safety. Seems to have the perfect physical tool and with Hall emerging I don’t see how he would get the volume of carries he is looking for.

We need more than one running back. Jirehl will not move positions. No RB’s in this class. We want volume of yards......not volume of carries.

I don’t think Jirehl moves, but I’m hoping some young players on the roster or a grad transfer can push what we bring back at DB.

Those guys REALLY struggled yesterday. I know they are young at spots, but good grief.
