2019 Potential Depth Chart (Offense)

Liberty City El said:
QB1 - Tate Martell (if he gets a waiver)
QB2 - Jarren Williams (if he doesn't transfer because of Tate {not saying he will})
QB3 - N'kosi Perry (if he's still on the team)
QB4 - Cade Weldon (who if nothing else at least knows a good weed man which is very valuable, (JK relax).

RB1 - Cam'ron Davis/ Lorenzo Lingard
RB2 - Deejay Dallas
RB3 - Robert Burns
RB4 - Asa Martin (has to redshirt 2019 unfortunately)

Yes I'm aware Deejay will probably be the RB1, but IMO if Lingard is healthy he & Cam in our new offense will make a deadly 2 back combo & Deejay can be in the utility role as a RB/WR, especially in the Redzone he can be real effective in multiple formations.

XWR - KJ Osborn/ Jeremiah Payton/ Marquez Ezzard
YWR - Jeff Thomas/ Mark Pope/ Mike Harley
ZWR - Brian Hightower/ Dee Wiggins/ Evidence Njoku

You can also put JT & the other speedsters at either Z or X in certain sets. That's why it's great bringing in KJ & bringing back JT because they're both very versatile being able to play inside slot or on the outside. We should use all them the same way the Chiefs use their WR's Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley & Sammy Watkins with Travis Kelce.

TE1 - Brevin Jordan
TE2 - Will Mallory
TE3 - Michael Irvin II
TE4 - Brian Polendey
TE5/H-back - Larry Hodges

LT - Tommy Kennedy/ Kai-Leon Herbert
LG - Cleveland Reed/ Zach Dykstra
C - Corey Gaynor/ Jakai Clark
RG - Navaugh Donaldson/ Zalon'tae Hillery
RT - Delone Scaife/ John Campbell

True Freshman Adam ElGammal, Zion Nelson & possibly Clark will probably be Redshirted, but Butch Barry has a very tough task getting these guys ready to go come Fall. Probably need to add another OL from Transfer portal too to be honest, really need more depth. Coach Barry has his work cut out for him in 2020 & beyond recruiting OL's.

Whether it's Tate, Jarren or even N'Kosi with all that firepower at RB, WR & TE, this Offense should be EXPLOSIVE. In Coach Enos's system if we're running a fast paced offense that gets the ball in the hands of the playmakers quickly even if our OL isn't Bama/Clemson caliber I still think we can thrive & put up big numbers.

Who the fck is going to contain a 4-wide WR set with JT4, KJ Osborn, Hightower & Jordan or Pope?!? With Deejay or Cam or Lo in the backfield, smh OMFG absolutely scary what they could do if it all goes right.

Plus think about the bevy of route combinations, double stack/ triple stack formations, screens, double moves down the seam, Post corners, Bang 8's, quick slants, hitches, that 6 route, shallow crosses, the wheel route from a RB out the backfield, **** even lineup a WR in the backfield to get him matched up with a LB & have him run a wheel. Plus we'll finally get pre-snap Motion checks which will help a great deal. IF we run this thing right we can really start offensively tearing teams up & putting points on the board, which will allow the Defense to play with a lead, pin their ears back & hunt.

Our Offense has been an Achilles heel & hasn't been up to par for far too **** long, I really think/hope we're finally making our way into the modern era of football & transitioning into a team that can score at will.

One of the main things that has made Bama, Clemson & Oh St such dominant teams in the playoff era aside from their elite recruiting & coaching, has been their development of high powered Offenses. Yes they all play great Defense as well, but none of them are playing old school 80's/90's style smash-mouth football anymore, they air it out, run the ball & can score in bunches at will with big plays that open the game up & assists their heavy pressure attack Defenses. Its the evolution of Football, even look at the NFL AFC & NFC championship games, all 4 teams have high powered offenses (NE, KC, NO & LA).

Am I saying we're going to be that overnight, NO, but is that enough for us not to lose to weaker Coastal opponents like UVA, GTech, Duke etc, **** the fck yeah it is. I'm not getting too far ahead of myself this early, Idk what our record will be but I definitely think we finish better than 7-6 & hopefully win the Coastal. I'm gonna give Diaz time, I'm not expecting us to go undefeated in year 1, but I 100% believe the Offense will be significantly improved this year.

I think campbell with be backukp lt and Hillary backup rt. it seems that is there skill level better campbell is more athletic of the 2. I wouldn't be shocked if campbell won rt job and Scaife ended up at lg either. as for wr pope gonna start I don't know where but pope is a 5 star for a reason and come week 1 pope will start somewhere.

The OL remains a big question mark. If Enos can mitigate the issues in pass protection with quick crossers and Martell scrambling maybe we will be alright. Really need to see development from the unit as a whole which is something we have become unaccustomed to over the last decade. A big jump from Scaife, Reed, and Donaldson would be enormous for the unit.
 
There is talent all over the place on offense which was a further indictment on richt and the offensive staff having the offense look that bad last year. Even the oline has some talented guys imo. Miami is loaded offensively
 
OL is thin, but that's top notch talent across the board. It's up to coaching now. No reason we shouldn't coast through the coastal.

Idk I hope not I want Lo to break out in this new offense but we'll see. Deejay certainly will be ahead and cam Davis showed flashes, Lo coming off an injury so it's gonna be a tight race
 
This is exactly the depth chart I am hoping for LCE. Good across the board except the OL which is scary. Agree with ur post.
 
I think Zelontae Hillery will likely move inside and be a helper at guard. Certainly will play over Dykstra, and I can see him being used as a versatile 6th OL guy

Agreed, we need more depth I'm not really worried about the starters but if any of them go down the OL is fcked lol.

However, it remains to be seen what Butch Barry is as a OL coach, imo he's a major upgrade over Seashells & we may finally see some actual development with our lineman. Plus, with a new S&C program I hope they can get these guys in better shape & add more functional strength to help them create push at the point of attack.

A huge upgrade over Seashells..
 
wouldnt be surprised to see Cade emerge with Enos, not as a starter but out of the bottom of the pile

Yeah. That's where I vision Scaife playing next season, LG. The key for Miami will be both of the tackle positions! Nothing more, nothing less.

I wouldn’t rule out another Grad transfer QB like Austin Kendall or Ross Bowers being added if Tate can’t get cleared.

Austin Kendall is most likely heading back home to North Carolina.

Ross Bowers is an average passer that doesn't have much upside or arm talent, plus he's a West coast kid from Washington, he'd be better suited staying in the Pac-12 at schools like Oregon St, Wash St, or Colorado, or go to a Moutain West school.

I'd rather just stick with Jarren & see what Enos can do with him.

Then what’s the point of adding Tate? And who cares where Bowers is from or how talented he is. We don’t have anything that’s proven to be better.
