Is it concerning that Botelho is not on the 2-deep?

Not to me, It tells me if he's listed 3rd DE will play some 3-3-5 too. (I think Justins stronger, i.e. in the pram longer weighs slighty more)  I don't take much stock  in depth charts to be honest I just wanna know the numbers. We'll know more after game 1.

I’m more concerned that Myron is a DE and not a tackle. But that could be what they are running.

Also, a little concerning that Bertrand and Kiser are starting. I don’t know why I thought our line backing crew was very deep. Other than that, all is to be expected on the offensive side of the ball.

Myron lost a lot of weight battling CO-VID and a condition of him not entering the draft was he wanted to play DE. LB I would suspect is that coaches thing, where JD and Kiser are assignment correct alot. Moala probably gets more time as he gets back to playing after an injury. Losing Marist makes us miss the wow-athlete which will hurt us unless Pyror can step up.

Thought it was interesting that for Rover it was: Jack Kiser OR Isaiah Pryor OR Paul Moala.

I think Kiser is the presumed starter, but I think how the depth chart is actually written is a positive because it means: (1) Pryor has made great strides under Freeman; and (2) Moala is healthy and ready to go after tearing his Achilles last season. 

Defense has great depth in the front seven. But it'll be the secondary that determines how far this team can go considering the QBs they face (Desmond Ritter, Kedon Slovis, Sam Howell).

I just hope that Botelho doesn't get frustrated and transfer after the season.  I do trust Freeman to keep him motivated and happy though.

Yeah I won't be real comfortable until I see Cam Hart defend a few passes successfully during a game. 

Here's further evidence of what @tneun89 was saying about Rover if I can start the press conference video at the right spot,

 @tneun89that video should be cued up if I converted minutes to seconds right.  if it doesn't he talks rover at the 11:04 mark until about 11:41

I still say something happened this preseason with him (whether the coaches admit it or not), hence him being buried on the depth chart.

Our WR speed should be sick.

Would Davis, Wilkins or Keys even make gameday rosters at Ala, Clem, OSU, Okla or Georgia?  I don't think so.  I like the WRs the staff has been recruiting the last few years and I hope that continues.

Keys had offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Oklahoma coming out of high school. I think injuries and an inability to add strength have really hurt his development. He was hurt in camp, so not sure what he will do this year. Would love to see Styles in the slot.

Drew White is still on the team?  Feels like he's been there forever.  Not sad to see him, just surprised to still have him.

Yeah we return alot of experience at LB. the group is probably missing the Owusu type athlete but to their credit will be in position alot. Not saying they won't lose a one on one matchup rather if they do hey should be in a position where the 10 other guys can help.

I agree, I believe something did happen and he is in the dog-house...

Only way to tell is to see if he plays or not.
