🏈 2016 Offense

In another thread, next year's 2 deep depth chart on defense was discussed. Many things can happen before the start of the season, but who are some up and comers on the offensive side of the ball that may be ready to step up?

I just want to see Ridley, Robert Foster, ArDarius Stewart and OJ Howard on the field at the same time. Now all we need is a QB.

Add Cam Sims and go 5 wide with BB's mobility to extend the play

Need to have a RB step up. Bo had some moments, but it's hard to judge late in the 4th quarter. Who will be the primary back?

Still not a lot of depth there.

I think it's a Bo-Harris combo, with Bo getting slight majority of carries and RZ looks.

It will be interesting to see where X. Marks lands. I think he could make an impact as returner/slot receiver type, but hard to see him running regularly out of the backfield at his size for Bama.

Also, keep an eye on Gore this Spring. He's a talented back with good size, speed, and vision. He had been getting positive reviews in fall camp.

I really think incoming freshmen (assuming no NSD surprises) BJ Emmons has a shot to see the field. If he picks up blocking quickly, he's a talent. 5'10", 230lbs and 4.4 speed.

Way too early for this lol but if we are talking "up and comers" I would def. say Scarbrough, Damien Harris, and Robert Foster but Blake Barnett is the biggest one to watch... My guess at a way too early depth chart which will probably look nothing like the one that ends up being the week one depth chart lol...

FIRST TEAM
QB: #6 Blake Barnett (RSFR)
RB: #9 Bo Scarbrough (SO)
LT: #74 Cam Robinson (JR)
LG: #63 Ross Pierschbacher (SO)
C: #71 JC Hassenauer (JR)
RG: #50 Alphonse Taylor (SR)
RT: Charles Baldwin (JR)
WR: #3 Calvin Ridley (SO)
WR: #8 Robert Foster (JR)
WR: #13 ArDarius Stewart (JR)
TE: #88 OJ Howard (SR)

BOLD = Returning Starter

SECOND TEAM
QB: #18 Cooper Bateman (JR)
RB: #34 Damien Harris (SO)
LT: #78 Koren Kirven (SR)
LG: #59 Dallas Warmack (SO)
C: #56 Brandon Kennedy (SO)
RG: #75 Bradley Bozeman (JR)
RT: #77 Matt Womack (SO)
WR: #4 Daylon Charlot (SO)
WR: #7 Cam Sims (JR)
WR: #81 Derek Kief (SO)
TE: #84 Hale Hentges (SO)/#89 Brandon Greene (SR)

This is beginning to look like my horse ... going to beat him to death, and ride him up through fall camp.

People are sleeping on Lester Cotton.

He will have to be a better player than Bozeman.

My guess is Bozeman steps in at LG and Piersbacher moves to RT.

But if Cotton can step into RT and keep Peirsbacher at RT, even better.

What about Ronnie Clark? He's listed as RB/DB but what few times he's gotten a carry he looked outstanding. I know he had an achilles but he could be a valuable back to the depth if he gets back to normal

 

[UAgrad93]

Ronnie Clark could be the X factor at the RB position. If BJ Emmons qualifies, don't count out the freshman. Burns has had a knack for getting freshman backs ready to play.

Completely agree. The only guy I've seen on tape that had me more pumped was Trent Richardson. Emmons could do well here

Ingram in '08, Trent in '09, Lacy in '10, Yeldon in '11. Henry came along a little bit more slowly but we all know how that ended up playing out!!

I guess I just haven't seen anything of him yet, I have heard good things tho. Like I said tho, I'm sure its gonna be probably the opposite of what I just said by the time fall rolls around.
