Hockey5djh Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not really any surprises but I'll say some interesting notes: - Ryan Mathews listed last for RBs - in case you weren't sure that he's getting cut. - Marcus Johnson listed ahead of Shelton Gibson - They listed 3 starting WR spots so Johnson is with the twos behind Alshon, Torrey and J Matt but right with Agholor, and Hollins - Seumalo officially given the LG spot - Again, in case you were unsure before the Barbre trade. - Dillon Gordon listed over Matt Tobin for back-up LT - Looks like Tobin is on his way out - Starting CBs are Mills and Robinson with Douglas and Brooks listed as the 2s. (No slot/Nickel listed) - Smallwood listed as the starting KR with Agholor as his back-up. - Corey Graham listed over Jaylen Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey5djh Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 All in all nothing "shocking" but it may be one of the more controversial first depth charts in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Robinson listed as a starting CB is disgusting. Cut that bum already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had a single punt return in the NFL, and as Maclin proved, doing it well in NCAA doesn't mean he'll do it well in NFL. His 18.4 yards per return on kickoffs doesn't exactly spell out return stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying it's weird they aren't trying him out at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I think Byron Marshall should get a shot at returns. Wasn't he supposed to be one of the fastest dudes at Oregon before injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a much thicker/bigger built and his stronger then those guys tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phire Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'd like to see plenty of Marcus Johnson on Thursday. I'd also like to see Robinson. If he's as bad as the reports indicate in TC he's gonna have to redeem himself in these live situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 This depth chart is meaningless. It's compiled by the PR staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like all signs point to Jeffery sitting out and Johnson has pretty much always been the guy who fills in for him with the first unit in practice.

That's why I originally put that post in the TC thread. Figured there's not a ton of weight to it yet. I don't want to see Agholor returning kicks though. Last year he was hesitant as H3ll. Only way Gibson makes this 53 is if he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Gibson will be lucky to make the PS at this point. The reason he probably avoids swimming is because of those Hands. He'd sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to get cut, hes been awful in camp. I wonder if they just want to see how bad he will get abused so it will make it easier to get rid of him after just signing him.
