Probably in about an hour.

What Red Five said.

I just went to the official site to see if anything was posted, and they still have 2019 loaded up, presumably for the Utah game. Anyone else surprised John Burt had 23 starts in his career? I know he was here since Akers, but...

Was hoping Hookfin could have come back to at least get some live game reps this week. 

I'm guessing it'll be Okafor at RG and Jones at RT.

I actually like the fact Jones will be getting RT reps this early.

Sucks that Moore’s out too, since he was running at second string tackle and could’ve used some live reps. With Hookfin and Moore both out and W. Tyler opting out, I’m guessing Tyler Johnson will see the field a lot.

I’m opting out of having sex with super models for the rest of 2020.  It was a tough decision for me.

Uh, Cosmi would have that opportunity regardless of whether the Duck guy played or not. Technically, so would every draft age offensive lineman in the country.

I misread at first as well. I freaked out then read it again. Guy worsened that tweet horribly

If CFB players wanted to make the strongest statement possible all p5 program black players would get together and all boycott the season announcing Saturday morning. You want to cause maximum damage and get shit moving that's how you do it.

Surprised not to see Marcus Washington on the 2 deep.  That's a legit 2 deep DL.

I’m not surprised. Some players are more distracted by outside events than others, and I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. A grad transfer is more likely be solely focused on seeing the field as much as possible. We know Herman likes to reward hard work, as he should, to an extent.

I felt this like could be possible issue but didn’t want to make that statement against the grain here

We have a lot of [unproven] athleticism at WR. I'm sure we have different packages.

It’s nice not to see a 2 deep littered with true freshmen, especially at offensive line.

that was actually the very plan the players were discussing 

when the list of demands came out the players on the gc all made up their minds to boycott the day before the game or the morning of

thankfully cdc handled the demands well

QB, WR, and LB would have been ok. RB, DL, and DB would have been funny to watch.

Still can't believe Bailiff played for overtime. So ridiculous.

Eagles had some work ethic and attitude issues in past years before all this broke out, so it’s not shocking to see, but I did hope he’d win out since he’s our highest ceiling outside WR. Still, Black is legit and by all accounts has been really solid so it’s not all bad. Glad we took him as a GT. 

[Red Five 40897]

It won't get any easier for Eagles next year with a healthy Omeire.

Best thing for Eagles long term is healthy competition.  He will see the field plenty this fall, but he has to really improve if he wants to play on Sundays!!

[Vito Andolini 9133]

Overshown going with the newly approved “0” as his jersey number, so it’s essentially a giant “O!” Let’s hope he’s healthy enough to wear it most games, he really makes a difference when he plays.

[BurntOrange&White 40044]

Should someone create the in season meta thread for talk between games and news between games aside from the game threads?

He's injured enough where they are sitting him supposedly.

[touchthemonolith 646]

I just saw the depth chart. I haven't been following camp as closely as I have in years past, and was surprised to see BJ Foster behind Chris Brown. What gives?

When healthy, Chris Brown was arguably one of our top defensive players last season.

I love Chris Brown, but I figured that BJ Foster had the edge, or at least it would be an -OR- situation. Either way, well-deserved by Brown.

That jumped out at me too. I think it's more of a testament to our ridiculous depth in the secondary than any sort of knock against Foster. Having Foster and Green as backups is amazing. 

[TankedBevo 2486]

Our DB depth is in the best shape it's been in 15 years. CBXV balled out towards the end of the year so while I'm surprised he's starting,I'm not that surprised if that makes any sense. Foster will ultimately be in the field more than he does I'd be willing to bet. 

[Sock Monkey 722]

Now we just need play calling that sets our talent up for success!

[Red Five 40897]

I can’t believe we now have a position that is a safety/LB hybrid and Foster isn’t playing there.
