Depth Chart Insanity

[flippy]

We have 14 guys listed as our 1st team D.

I knew about Bush and Spillane.

Didn’t know about Spoon and Levi sharing a spot too.

Also did not realize Maulet is the 1 at Nickle.

Even if you take out the duplicates there’s 12 starters on D.

Im a little surprised by Maulet. I just assumed we’d see Spoon and Levi on the outside with Cam playing in the slot. Guess that’s not likely based on the depth chart.

now if only we can figure out how to get 12 starters on offense, too, we might just have a chance at a winning season

Honestly, playing 14 guys should improve the run defense.

Maulet has had a good camp, been around the defense a season, and played well in preseason #1 with 5 tackles.

If they are receivers catching passes on him ... (back to our Deon debate) Leading the team in tackles might not be a good thing.

I would suggest as long as they aren't giving up scores, a cornerback who rarely HAS to make a tackle is a better corner on a superior defense.

Tomlin dropped these kinds of nuggets over the years.

Not much of note but.....

Pickett as QB3 goes along with what I've said all along. Pickett is not in the mix until they decide he is ready. Once the coaches decide he is ready then the clock starts ticking on Trubisky - but not until then.

Warren over Snell as primary backup
Derek Watt still listed as a starter despite the fact that he rarely sees the field. #3 RB Benny Snell likely to get more snaps than #1 FB Watt and a Steeler third string RB rarely gets snaps
FA acquisition Levi Wallace a backup. Sutton not going down easily.
Harvin listed as a starter at 2 positions. Lev Bell called him and told him to renegotiate to get double the money. Harvin has yet to answer the phone.

at home, fans might tear the place apart.

This isn’t 1990. This org needs to get with the times and speed up the process.

Updated depth chart now has Kenny Pickett #2.

New conspiracy is Mason trade announcement?

Oh, they'll decide he's ready as the losses accumulate and they've grown tired of watching Mitch step on his d!ck.

Glad to see Warren as the backup to Najee and curious if Simms can get some playing time.

I don't think so. The timing may work out that way, but I don't think they run him out there if they don't think he is ready to take over for the next ten years.
