I think Miller, Abrams, and Udoffia will be interchangeable all year.

I hope we go with Maddox and some of those young guys, Wigley is fine at corner IMO.
A bit. It appears the Mehki Blackmon is battling to pass him on the depth chart. They may decide to redshirt Blackmon, though, since we seem to have the depth to allow it.
I doubt that Wigley stepped backwards just that others are stepping forwards faster. This is what every position looks like at top programs.
I gotta think a redshirt year would do Blackmon wonders.
This is what real depth looks like, we should be seeing new guys emerge every year. We had bigger issues in the front seven last season, but let's not forget CB depth was spotty at times as well.
A redshirt that includes 4 games with of playing exp.... sounds fantastic!
Will be interesting to see how the 4 game redshirt is used. If me, I'm getting as many redshirts in early as may be ready to play this year or needed this year, as situations allow.
Seems like Blackmon might get a sniff before a Wigley as he'd benefit more, if score allows, as an example. A decent amount of snaps early and he can then be available to pull the shirt if needed later. Same with Fillip, Finau, and Maddox? Not sure of too many others who get in as a high priority.. Hypolite and Antwine are playing period. Heard that Sami would have as well.

Yeah, I wonder how it'll be used. I imagine one game will be held back for a possible bowl game, but I could see the first 3 being used early on to get guys experience in the event they are needed later on due to injury.
Filip gets a mention as getting snaps. good to hear. Bad that we need him and he's getting snaps after sitting out all camp.

Two season enders in a row. One of these days, we'll have a functioning, pass catching TE.
ugh... this sucks
Horrible news for this season. Maybe best for Poplawski's full career since it gets him a year off to recover his legs after last season's injury.
Darrion Jones needs to contribute this year. He's got to be the instant weapon for the offense he was recruited to be.
They need to make him a Julius Thomas type of player. Keep things as simple as possible and just get him in 1v1 matchups in the slot or outside (or even in-line) and let him make plays.
Exactly. Get him solid on a play tree and build from there.

I just watched the 247 film on Darrion. Impressive size, but man was the offense vanilla. He was able to take advantage of undersized LB's and Safety's, but I wonder how he translates to D1. Seems like a projects. I didn't see "athletic", I saw "taller than everyone else".

beware the habu
Putting BR on scholarship makes even more sense, now. Granted, the reports are that he's worked hard and caught the coaches attention, but the staff seems to award schollies to walk-ons as juniors/seniors.

From Monday's practice (yeah, he's kind of a big dude):
JFC, get him the ball.
For context, the guy he is running next to (and slightly in front of) is Chance Lytle, who is listed at 6'7". Also, Darrion has HUGE F***ing handsFrom Monday's practice (yeah, he's kind of a big dude):
If they aren't giving him every opportunity to win a one on one jump ball in the Red Zone, Chev is failing.
At the very least, he would keep the LB’s honest whenever he sees the field. Please be half as good as your size indicates.From Monday's practice (yeah, he's kind of a big dude):
Jones is kind of stiff from what I saw and I'm not sure he's more of a weapon in the red zone than Viska/Ento/Winfree and perhaps other WR's. He's taller and bigger.
Let's see what he does with this chance.
