Lots of 'OR' at the starters including QB.

Only 2 LBs and 5 secondary on that list for defense. I had thought that a 4-2-5 may be the way we play some passing teams but didn't think BC was a spread Offense. at 6'3 205 Desmond Igbinosun has nice size and is almost a LB size.

Taj Harris couldn’t beat out Shameen Jones?

 

[KnightCPA]

2 Linebackers??????

 

[ScooterSports]

TKR got outscooped on this one?

Taj Harris couldn’t beat out Shameen Jones?

it’s one of the like, dozen positions that has an OR on it. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

 

[RUPete]

My man Hollin Pierce wins a starting job! Also, are we only going with 2 LBs as a base? Would make sense. A little surprised at the "Ors" at WR.

All 7 of the the WR's listed will get extensive playing time.

Not true. He is an OR
Only DiRienzo, Ireland Brown and Willie Tyler III are listed as starting OL without the OR. Technicality.

Sorry, I misread it. Still a remarkable story where he's at now vs. where he started. That's why you follow college sports.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Lots of sophomores on the DL. Interesting.

Looks like Pierce is the starter to me. I see the OR on the 2nd line, not the top one.

 

[Knightmoves]

Why was this released today when we were told maybe Saturday?

Has Greg blown our secrecy cover?

 

[ScooterSports]

So from the depth chart, looks like they’ll run a 4-2-5. I’m guessing they’ll go to 3 LBs on run downs or maybe use Igbinosun as a hybrid S/LB a bit.

 

[RutgersNo1]

No Isaiah Washington?
Is Khayri Banton injured?

 

[RUGuitarMan]

It’s not surprising with the 4-2-5 alignment which many are going to these days. I have a question about the LBs. What is the situation with Khayri Banton? He was a highly regarded recruit 2 years ago, very athletic, a 4 star player. To date he has not shown up on the depth chart and I never hear any mention of him.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

2 Linebackers??????

Chris Conti transferred
Drew Singleton denied
Moses Walker and Khayri Banton injured
Jennings and Powell are the only experience LBs we have.
Austin Dean, a 3⭐ from 2021, played 8 games, mostly special teams, Andrew Vince a 2 year walk-on never seeing the field and Wright-Collins, a RB turned LB. Everyone else are Walkons.

Besides maybe using the light DEs like Kenny Fletcher or Jahzion Harris at LB, 4-2-5 is their only option with more depth at DB.

I like the size of our OL.

what happened to Banton? Can’t find any news about him.

 

[koleszar]

He's on crutches, believe he broke his leg and out for the year. Also, these have to be our biggest O and D lines yet. If they can move, we can compete in the trenches.

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

We are bringing the beef at OL

I like seeing a lot of sophomores in the two-deep.

Only one frosh - Samuel Brown V. But, it is only game 1 - early days.

 

[RUPete]

When did he get injured? I saw an APP article posted August 9 that had him as part of the depth there.

 

[RU#1fan]

Taj Harris couldn’t beat out Shameen Jones?

Also really shocked that WR Dremel beats out Isiah Washington on the 2 deep ? WOW

 

[koleszar]

I don't tweet but my wife follows all things Rutgers, I think the twitter post of him on crutches was from Aug. 22. So, it only happened a little over a week ago. Just really tough luck at the LB position.

And Toure out for the year on Defense. Injuries making havoc on the D.
We have taken monumental huge hits at LB due to Graduation and Injuries. This is why we are 2 base at LB this season.

 

[mdk01]

A lot more definitive for the D than the O. I guess the QB mystery is to keep BC from game planning.

I like the size of our OL.

I know that Moses Walker was injured but I was actually hoping that Anthony Johnson would make the 2 deep with all the injuries we have seen. He was the other highly ranked LB in the class.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Correct. Also if anyone noticed the starters are in bold lettering.

 

[Yeah Baby]

Not true. He is an OR
Only DiRienzo, Ireland Brown and Willie Tyler III are listed as starting OL without the OR. Technicality.

No he is right. The only OR on OL is Dunlap and Ciaffoni.

 

[Yeah Baby]

Also really shocked that WR Dremel beats out Isiah Washington on the 2 deep ? WOW

You do know that Dremel is a slot and Washington is very far from being a slot receiver right?

Having said that I’m surprised he’s not listed somewhere. Shows we have a lot of talent. Maybe he’s banged up?

 

[RutgersNo1]

I know that Moses Walker was injured but I was actually hoping that Anthony Johnson would make the 2 deep with all the injuries we have seen. He was the other highly ranked LB in the class.

I’m surprised Anthony Johnson, a 4-star recruit, can’t beat walk-on.

 

[Yeah Baby]

I know that Moses Walker was injured but I was actually hoping that Anthony Johnson would make the 2 deep with all the injuries we have seen. He was the other highly ranked LB in the class.

He’s a true freshman. Only one Freshman on the depth chart and that is at RB which is the position most likely to have a Freshman play.

Correction - then there is Gavin at a position where True Freshman may ply the least outside of maybe OL and he’s right there fighting for the job.

 

[kapyoche]

I think this team is very underrated by media experts. I think if the OL plays well, then .500 is a real possibility.

We will win at BC since Rutgers is a good road team for some reason.

 

[RU#1fan]

I’m surprised Anthony Johnson, a 4-star recruit, can’t beat walk-on.

I thought in the Spring Game he looked a step behind.
Maybe he needs to adjust to the speed at this level and weight room conditioning.

 

[BeantownKnight]

I think all three QBs will wind up playing. Vedral will wind up starting and Simon and Wimsatt will split remaining reps.

This is based on nothing more than a hunch.

 

[T2Kplus20]

I think all three QBs will wind up playing.

Recipe for disaster.

 

[MADHAT1]

Has Greg blown our secrecy cover?

That's a big if 😏

 

[MADHAT1]

hopfully your hunch means RU blows out BC and the romp is so bad that Greg is able to give every player on roster a little playing time.

 

[DJ Spanky]

So I think we need to change our motto to "Row The Boat" based on the number of "OR's" on that list.

 

[Knight Shift]

No he is right. The only OR on OL is Dunlap and Ciaffoni.

Sorry, I misread it. Still a remarkable story where he's at now vs. where he started. That's why you follow college sports.

I stand corrected. Pete, you were right.
RIF is supposed to mean Reading is Fundamental. For me, it means Reading is Fu**ed.

 

[Knight Owl]

Surprised Cam’ron Stewart didn’t make the two deep at DE. He’s put on weight and should see time. He saw time last season.

 

[RUSK97]

Under QB, they should've just written, "Someone on the roster"
