Predict the guys not on the preseason team who will be on the actual team:

Offense:
Shai Werts
Brian Miller
Wes Kennedy

Defense:
Kenderick Duncan
Reynard Ellis
Jay Bowdry

Ty Philips
Rashad Byrd
Jakob Cooper

Ty Philips
Rashad Byrd
Jakob Cooper

You think we won't have anyone on offense other than Cooper? What about whoever our leading rusher is?

I was adding to your good list with some more candidates.

I have no clue who'll get the most carries this season, so I'm not gonna guess.

Our centers always get all-SBC attention.
Ty Phillips has better-than-average explosiveness at NT, so he'll put up enough TFL to get the nod.
Rashad Byrd had a very high tackles/snap ratio in both 2017 and 2018, so I think he'll put up some numbers as the full-time starter this season. On defense, it's all about numbers.


I think Bowdry is good enough, but I doubt he'll get the numbers at his position.

First or second team postseason?

Offense:
Logan Wright
Brian Miller
Maybe Wes Kennedy

Defense:
Ty Phillips
Reynard Ellis

In addition to those on the preseason list

[Eskimojoe]

Duncan, Speedy, Shai, and Bowdry.

Duncan, Speedy, Shai, and Bowdry.

I’d love to see Speedy break out a la Terriyone Gipson.

His HS film is sick—you have to be FAST to vary speeds on pursuers like he does.

I can dig it!

Losing Fields is gonna seem like a big thing, but I think it may actually give our opposition some bigger problems. They could almost always depend on seeing Fields on certain plays, especially the dive. I think they keyed in on him a lot.

With all our RB options now, I think we are more likely to screw with their heads.

I can see us really pulling some sneaky stuff with great success. When you have two or three guys who are all just as likely to get the ball, I can see some real problems for defenses to deal with. I think Werts and Debeese are gonna show us what we really are capable of.

Shai Werts never gets any love. I get that he’s not a traditional QB, but he was the most effective player on our offense last year. Kind of hard to ignore that.

[half-n-half]

I think Duncan has a chance to be really good but he’s not going to be all conference as a sophomore first year starter.

Bowden is a very solid player but not good enough nor will he put up the stats to be all conference.

Logan Wright will be our primary ball carrier if healthy. Laroche will only have the 3rd or 4th most carries on the team.

Maybe as a senior Werts could find his way to 2nd team but barring a major change this year he won’t have near the stats to be all conference.

I could see Byrd or Cooper making it though.
