Who on the roster needs to worry about being passed up by th next string.

Everyone! New system with new coaches and new philosophy. Everyone better bring it in Spring ball, or risk demotion...

OL- Tagaloa and Okafor could pass up Rigsbee & Tyndall
LB- This position has so much talent that nobody's job is secure.
ST- The coverage teams may change drastically from primarily defensive players to primarily offensive players.
QB- Bridgford is the incumbent in name only. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hinder beat out Kline and Bridgford.
WR- The inconceivable could happen-Treggs loses his starting job. Don't think it would happen but he was barely the 3rd best receiver this year. Of course that makes him the 2nd best next year. But Powe came on late and a very talented Lawler comes off a redshirt. Also Harris might emerge as well.
FB- this position is wide open. I think technically Espitia is next on the depth, but what about Yarnaway?
DL- It wouldn't surprise me to see us go to a 4/3 again, but, if not, Jalil may move back inside and displace an out of shape Moala.
DB- 3 of these positions seem solid and Lowe will probably at least be in on nickel, but could he lose the starting safety job to an emerging Drew?
K-Calder or Langford are due to battle to replace D'Amato but the incoming Anderson could put both of them back on the bench.

It should be an interesting off-season, especially now that our recruiting mojo is back.

Maximo is an excellent fullback option in this offense, yarnway left the team prior to the last game, maybe Sonny can talk him back on to it.

Thanks BBlast for the update. Do you know if D'Amato is coming back. There is a lot of contradictory info. on his status (Jr. vs. Sr.?).

hopefully we stick with a 3-4. That would put our best defensive players on the field.

I don't think treggs has to worry. We will routinely play 4 wide and throw the ball often.

If Maximo is as good as suggested Sonny will get him on the field. It won't be as a traditional FB though.

Wasn't Treggs injured at the end of the season? I don't think he played in the last two games? You're right that Lawler may shock everyone. He is special.
