[LawtonBoy74]

Joseph Ibiloye got moved to Sam Linebacker.. interesting look like hes following Keenan Claytons footprints

[BoulderSooner79]

Interesting that Broyles is back at slot receiver.

[yermom]

Kenney and Way are pretty flexible...

[Jello Biafra]

thaaaats what i kinda figured with GOOD. hes probably a bigger threat at Guard than center. at least in college. and eldridge brings some leadership at the center position. no matter the size, skill and experience goes a long way to combat the lack of size.

[Boffingham]

Brown over Murray?

[adoniijahsooner]

Cameron Kenney may need an oxygen tank.

[Jello Biafra]

Brown over Murray?

yup. and i agree with it...they are both 1k yard rushers and murray is having issues with injuries. keep him out until it is absolutely needed.

[yermom]

i'm gonna guess they are trying to let the hammy heal

[adoniijahsooner]

yup. and i agree with it...they are both 1k yard rushers and murray is having issues with injuries. keep him out until it is absolutely needed.

Jan 7th, and i am not kidding

[Dan Thompson]

I hope Quinton Carter has a proper indroduction. Just drop by and stay "take that sucker". POW!

[htownsooner7]

I agree with Brown over Murray, for now.. Brown just brings it game in game out and at every practice without sitting out. I'd like to see Murray get 12 carries and 3 or 4 receptions the first 2 weeks. Brown should take the other reps with the first team. Hopefully be the end of next week, Calhoun has 20 carries under his belt as well.

[JLEW1818]

i'm gonna guess they are trying to let the hammy heal

yup


Broyles in the slot??hmmmmm

the other WR's must be looking good?

[o0Dan0o]

The backs switch so often that the order doesn't really matter.

The coaches may be thinking of using Brown as the workhorse back, while brining Murray in for the flexibility he brings to the offense.

Either way, my bet is Brown see ~45% of the carries, Murray sees ~40% and the other backs split the remaining 15% (including Madu).
Dan

[JLEW1818]

well i guess Ryan Reynolds is ready to go.

[adoniijahsooner]

yup


Broyles in the slot??hmmmmm

the other WR's must be looking good?

Yeah, there was another article on Miller today; he starting to step up. i like having size on the outside.

[JLEW1818]

hell bring it, lets freaking play already!

[adoniijahsooner]

Well Well, wouldnt read too much into the wr depth chart.

Position update
Wide receiver

Coach Jay Norvell says he's finally sold on Ryan Broyles. But the other positions are still being fought for, and it's likely they will change throughout the season.
Norvell's favorite this week might be sophomore Dejuan Miller.

[LawtonBoy74]

they have mike b at 2nd string 4 the game maybe hes already cleared???

[Gresho Murford]

if DM was 100% healthy I would want him over CB. Both are awesome and we are blessed to have both. I just think DM is amazing when healthy and confident

[htownsooner7]

Don't quite understand listing Good as the back up to Simmons. If he and Jones are battling, shouldn't he be listed behind Jones. I guess he'll play both guard positions. Any thoughts on the two freshmen o-line listed in the depth chart? They aren't our highest rated.

[badger]

Thanks for posting!

[LawtonBoy74]

wtf happened 2 j. r. bryant?? Did he do something wrong?? I remember seeing him all over the place in the red/white game

[adoniijahsooner]

last year during the NCG, Charles Davis mentioned that UF DC Charlie Strong said Demarco Murray not playing in the game would hurt our offense; this coming from an opposing team. Murray is a game changer, and you need those in the big games.

Tyler Evans is said to be doing very well, and was going to get some play this year.

[badger]

I think there will be plenty of carries for both DM and CB. It will be good for both of them to be able to have each other - not to mention they both have Sam.

[adoniijahsooner]

BV said he came back not where he was suppose to be. Didnt devote himself in the offseason, and got caught slippin

[LawtonBoy74]

well i guess he will get signifacant special teams play

[IslandSooner]

They have to be anticipating Balogun being re-certified?

[Collier11]

Who starts in football, especially at WR and RB really doesnt matter

[badger]

They have to be anticipating Balogun being re-certified?

I think it's more of a thing to give fans, the team, the coaches, etc. hope that he will be certified.

Or, this is OU reaching back to its roots and giving the NCAA a big ol' middle finger.

Giving birdies to the NCAA: An Oklahoma tradition :D

[CK Sooner]

BV said he came back not where he was suppose to be. Didnt devote himself in the offseason, and got caught slippin

He went to take care of his sick mother, I believe.

[CK Sooner]

Moreland at KO again. Let's hope his leg has gotten stronger.

[adoniijahsooner]

He went to take care of his sick mother, I believe.

That's sure alot more important than football

[CK Sooner]

I think the only thing that we need is our Offensive Line to come together and play as good, or better than the one we had last year and we will be fine. If that happens we should make it to the big game again.

[soonerspudman]

Interesting to not see Granger on the two-deep, what's the scoop? Is his back still not healed?

[CK Sooner]

Interesting to not see Granger on the two-deep, what's the scoop? Is his back still not healed?

He will play, but they will limit his snaps in the first few games. Hopefully he will be in pretty good shape when we head down to the Cotton Bowl. He should get around 10-20 snaps a game. He is still trying to get back in shape and back to his old form.

[badger]

Now that the depth chart is out, should we all adopt a player that we cheer for hardcore on every play?

:mad: No fair everyone choosing Sam Bradford!

:D Besides, he's mine :D

Demarco is mine :D


if he is injured i'll take madu

No thanks! Sounds like something a girl would do...or JLEW :D


Ill cheer for the whole team

[Fraggle145]

I'll take Matt Clapp.

[CK Sooner]

I'll take Matt Clapp.

You like his locks?

:eek: :D

[Ping]

would love to see Marcus Trice get some playing time in the opener! He has really worked hard for his spot as Q. Carter's backup!

[SoonerPr8r]

As far as the RB depth listing goes I figure it is one of those situations that both are the "starter" its a 1A and 1B thing and CB is listed first because they are listed alphabetically. The wr positions don't matter much they have so many different looks that they are pretty much interchangeable out there.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I'll take Matt Clapp.

i heard you like having clapp

[JLEW1818]

this again? ha

[stoops the eternal pimp]

you would rather have Dick

[Chiliman]

If Balogun doesn't get recertified, does Box become backup at both will and mike?

[CK Sooner]

If Balogun doesn't get recertified, does Box become backup at both will and mike?

Yep and Ronnell Lewis will be a backup at MLB.

[goingoneight]

From what I'm hearing it's not 'if,' it's 'when' does the NCAA clear Balogun.

[htownsooner7]

I've heard Balogun for sure isn't available this week

[JLEW1818]

linky?

[htownsooner7]

Check the thread about Balogun for the link.

[CK Sooner]

linky?

It's true, Jlew.
