beekay414 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Completely forgot about Taj Mustapha too. He's been really good in camp as far as I've heard. He could be a surprise play if Krumholz doesn't get the shot first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Could see it looking like... Taylor | Perry | Mustapha Pryor | Krumholz | Cruickshank/Green Cruickshank will play though. Almost 100% sure he's going to be our return man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 My hype for this year has been tamed immensely today. I see a classic Badgers run only offense with a young and questionable defense. I don't think Pryor or Taylor are good, no different than Wheelwright or Jazz Peavy. Our TEs are completely unproven and who knows what Hornibrook shows up.

beekay414 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 This should also be a lesson. Don't let players from the same position group be roommates, just in case both of them happen to be idiots, like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why we moved a lumbering, phonebooth plodder like Dietzen to LT when we have CVL who is built for the position is baffling to me. I mean he is probably one of your best 5 no doubt but I can't see him at OT being a better player than CVL. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Alright, well my excitement towards this season just dropped off a cliff. Cephus is done. Davis had better be done or I'm going to have a hard time supporting this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) My expectations and excitement remains the same. Let's not forget that all of 2 years ago, we went 10-2 in the regular season (11-3 overall with all 3 losses coming by 7 points) with a vaunted receiving core of Jazz Peavy, Rob Wheelwright and George Rushing (seriously, those were the only WRs with more than 10 catches). Yes, I know our defense was really good that year but our offense is still poised to be a lot better than 2016 with a full-time JR year Hornibrook, a Heisman contender at RB with talented depth behind him (we had post hernia surgery Clement and Dare as our top RBs in 2016), a WR core that has a ton of talent despite youth (that includes the TEs) and, oh yeah, a vastly superior offensive line. Now, we probably aren't serious National Championship contenders anymore but we can still make the B1G title game and give ourselves a shot at the CFP. I'm not worried. Edited August 21, 2018 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Also, with there being a chance that both Cephus and Davis (Cephus for sure, obviously) not being with the team going forward, you've gotta figure they'll move Isaac Guerendo back to WR from RB. They should also put the full on press on Cameron Phillips.

beekay414 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Also, updated the depth chart in the OP as best I could. The back-up RB spot, WR spots and CB produced a lot of "or" among the group. Don't really have a true feel for what we're going to do on day 1 at CB. Rumor is Deron Harrell has been incredibly intriguing there, DCW has taken a step back and is now 2nd unit, Caesar Williams seems most likely to CB1, Madison Cone has been out hurt so who knows whether or not he'll be a day 1 starter, Donte Burton and the freshman have been impressive and Faion Hicks looks to be in line for CB2. Cone, once healthy, is probably our nickel corner. So, kinda ignore the "or" for now and expect Caesar Williams and Faion Hicks to be the starters IMO. 2 of the 3 DL spots seem resolved with Kayden Lyles likely nailing down one of the DE spots. We know Olive is our nose even though we've tried him at DE. We really like Bryson Williams so don't be surprised if the DL rotates a lot with pure gap fillers in Lyles, Sagapolu and Williams and hoping our LBs can provide the pressure. I could see it due to the fact that those 3 boys could take on most of the blocking lol. If we don't do the big body thing and play those boys together, the 3rd DL spot is up for grabs between Aaron Vopal and Matt Henningsen. Vopal is the space eater but Henningsen is the better pass rusher, so they'll probably split reps depending on the situation. Safety is pretty much set. First unit will be Dixon and Nelson with the second unit likely being Johnson and Burrell. We're good there, I think. LBs are fine IMO. We've got our starters (AVG, Edwards, Connelly and Baun) with Orr as a great 3rd ILB. We've got intriguing depth. Rumor has it we could see a lot of Christian Bell on run downs due to his ability in the run game being better than Baun's. Haven't really heard much on IGM or Farrar though. OL is set everywhere but LT and I think Dietzen has the upper hand there over CVL. We'll still see a lot of CVL this year though. RB behind JT23 is talented but unclear. Shaw is still working his way back from the ACL tear and the rest of the group really hasn't separated themselves but it's not a bad thing. Supposedly Deal and James had the best camps they've had at UW and Nakia Watson will get some burn as well. Our TE situation on day 1 will likely be Penniston and Neuville due to their blocking. Ferguson will get snaps on sure passing downs though. Wouldn't be surprised if he fills the Danny Davis void in some type of WR3 role. Not saying he'll play the position but saying he could see the field over the young WR on passing downs. We've used Austin Ramesh at WR before (seriously, go back and watch LSU in 2016) so I don't doubt we'll use Ferguson there if needed. WR is pretty self explanatory with the legal ****. Pryor and Taylor are the starters but, behind them, it's anyone's guess. Could be Krumholz as WR3, could be Perry. Hell, it could be 5'7" Jack Dunn for all we know. I did the best I could there and that's with leaving Davis on the DC until his situation is cleared up. QB and FB are pretty self explanatory.

RandyMossIsBoss Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Unbelievable, for the first time since the BB days we look to have a legitimately talented WR corp., and not just by our low standards, and the 2 top guys HAVE TO BE IDIOTS!? Give us a break, is that the only way for us to get talented WRs? Jesus Chryst this situation makes me mad. In this day and age it truly does baffle me how anyone under any sort of microscope could even consider doing anything in the realm of sexual assault or domestic violence. I can understand civilian scumbags thinking they can get away with it, or not having much to lose and thus not really caring, but athletes for major D1 school? You've got to be brain dead. I am assuming everything is true just to brace for the worst (and from the little reading I've done I'd guess it is, unfortunately). I mean hopefully they go through due process and are found not guilty, but I won't get my hopes up, and even then their 2018 is still lost.   Still, our offense should be better, but maybe only marginally so with a passing game that looks more grim by the day.

I'm not even really responding to you on this, because I get where you're coming from, but the "in times like these" take is getting repeated and I don't get it. The complaint says that Cephus was stone sober and these girls were blackout drunk or outright passed out. This was never a thing that was okay. Seeing someone sober hooking up with someone way too drunk was always a huge red flag, even 10 years ago when I was in school. Hell in Superbad, they even reference, "it's only okay if you're drunk too". This was common knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
