I'm always a little confused by the depth chart. Obviously a healthy Malcolm Brown wouldn't be the third running back. So, is this their way of telling us that he's injured and won't play or are they trying to tell us that he's the second guy off the bench? Same question for Jordan Hicks. He's clearly the starting WLB when healthy.

I'd like to see a healthy Brown and Gray getting most of the carries.

Bergeron is more of an H-back. He simply does not have the burst.

He seems to be a good blocker and he has good hands. We can use him a bunch. I just don't see him at tailback.

I like the move of Thompson as starter only if they start playing KV in a more traditional safety role. Otherwise it's meaningless. Giving up 8 yards/run instead of 80 just means the TD drives take longer when the first man with a chance to make the tackle (the safety) actually does so. The scheme has to adapt, not just the personnel.

I think the RB depth chart is just sending a signal to Brown that you have to stay healthy or get passed up.

I think Kendall Thompson has played the best of any of the LBs in Hicks's absence, so looks like a good move. Again, though, they need to adjust the scheme, not just the personnel.

+1 i agree man....bergeron just doesnt burst to the hole is very slow! He's big and strong but his 2 yard runs just arent getting it done(even if he sprinkles a 10 yard carry here and there). And for the Second straight week we got GAPPED on the left side. Back-up gets 200? Sorry..i said i was gonna let it go!

Need to move KV back to his natural SS and let Thompson/Phillips play FS

Rolling another converted high school QB to Strong Safety and expecting him to have the instincts of a Safety? I guess we'll see.

I didn't see it very well from my seats, but wasn't Thompson the guy who blew coverage on the play where the WVU RB caught a TD pass only to trip over the 20-yard line and save us 4 points? I know Thompson dropped an INT that resulted in points as well. And this is our big defensive upgrade for OU week. I'd much prefer L.Scott or S.Evans. At least we know instincts and the hitting that goes along with being a Safety won't be an issue.

I thought it was #11 Jackson.

It was

That was Tevin Jackson

bingo....

M. Thompson was in a position to make a couple plays the other night and was unable to come up with them.

I actually like the move and enjoyed watching him play the other night.
