Daddy like! Especially the receiver portion.

[Truant]

So Jammal Brown and Kory L are going to start on Thursday? That's not happening. This is very close to what we'll see, but I don't think this will exactly the used for Thursday.

[2STaylor1]

gotta love that TE Niles Paul is one of the backup returners

[Chachie]

I have to wonder how long it will be before we are starting Gomes and Doughty. I just don't see the upgrade there.

[Rabsuz]

Is Z receiver slot receiver or what? I'm bad at economic terms. What's the difference? It looks like X is deep threat or speedy guys.

And wow, Dezmon Briscoe below Darius Hanks, Lance Lewis, and Terrence Austin? That's kinda strange.

And is Tanard Jackson a 3rd stringer? I know he misses a lot of tackles but that's weird.

Strange that LeRibeus and Willie Smith are 3rd stringers, have they been underwhelming that badly?

[Rexx1240]

Pretty much what I fig'd the 1st depth chart would look like but just wondering if injury played a part in Helu's position...

[KCClybun]

Is Z receiver slot receiver or what? I'm bad at economic terms. What's the difference? It looks like X is deep threat or speedy guys.

X receivers are lined up closer to the line of scrimmage, and therefore have to be a lot better at getting off press and bump and run coverage.

Z receivers are lined up off the line of scrimmage and don't have to face as much contact as other guys. It helps smaller guys get an advantage on defensive guys, and bigger guys can use their big bodies to take advantage of the defense as well.

Should've written that this depth chart doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot.

[repo_4]

I know they have to put a depth chart together, but arent 3 of the guys they have starting on the OL injured? Has THT practiced yet?

[Taylor703]

I have to wonder how long it will be before we are starting Gomes and Doughty. I just don't see the upgrade there.

If you consider the fact that Meriweather is just not very good, coupled with the fact that he loves to lead with his helmet I doubt he will be a starter very long. I think Jackson and Williams will be fine back there but I just don't see Meriweather sticking around very long.

[MrJL]

some of this must be about injuries limiting practice time

[Chachie]

Yep. We be hurtin' back there.

Meriweather went to 2 Pro Bowls last I checked. He was miscast as a Cover 2 safety in Chicago. And Meriweather has gotten nothing but praise in camp.

[ExoDus84]

Looks like you can replace Landry with Meriweather and it would still be true.

He was good in New England his first few seasons, then badly misused in Chicago.

[NoVaSkins21]

I know they have to put a depth chart together, but arent 3 of the guys they have starting on the OL injured?

I was thinking the same thing. That area is definitely going to change and we could easily see unknown FAs starting on the starting unit of the OL come Thursday vs the Bills and through the preseason and into the regular season if guys don't get back.

[roanoker]

Imo, this chart is as good of a starting point as any at this point. The line up will evolve as preseason progresses. BTW - 3 more days!.

[Taylor703]

He was good in New England his first few seasons, then badly misused in Chicago.

Maybe part of my problem with Meriweather is his immaturity but I also despise the fact that he leads with his helmet so obviously. It's not even like he tries to disguise it, it's blatant and I think he's a cheap shot artist.

Here's an example:

And he's done this several times. I watched him do it last year with Chicago too. Just don't care for the guy at all really.

[DogofWar1]

No real surprises anywhere in terms of starters.

I wonder how long it'll take Jackson to crawl his way up the chart, if he does at all. He just started practicing again, and I still have high hopes for him eventually.

As others have said, Meriweather isn't as bad as he played in Chicago. In the right scheme, he's going to be a solid starter at the very least, so long as he can limit his penalties.

X receivers are lined up closer to the line of scrimmage, and therefore have to be a lot better at getting off press and bump and run coverage.

Z receivers are lined up off the line of scrimmage and don't have to face as much contact as other guys. It helps smaller guys get an advantage on defensive guys, and bigger guys can use their big bodies to take advantage of the defense as well.

Kind of strikes me as strange that Armstrong and Banks are 2 and 3 as the X. I thought Armstrong was fairly weak against the bump, and of course Banks is tiny. Maybe I'm just missing something.

Then again, it's just the 1st pre-season game, so maybe that'll change.

[ArmchairRedskin]

I completely forgot we had Ced Grffin on the team. Weird. Maybe he hasn't been mentioned much during camp?

[wilco_holland]

We see how it works out. Guys like Keenan Robinson and Tanard Jackson could move up in the dc if the they show it on the field.

In general I think depth looks ok.

[Prototype]

I'm really intrigued by Richard Crawford and Jordan Bernstine. Crawford could work his way up into nickel and dime packages, while we could use Bernstine's 4.3 speed and range at Free while Merriweather roams strong in the box.

[Burgold]

This Depth Chart seems more based on seniority than reality to me. I think that there will be major changes to it come the regular season.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

This Depth Chart seems more based on seniority than reality to me. I think that there will be major changes to it come the regular season.

Just something put up to placate fan and media interest.

I wouldn't read too much into it, or with what group whomever takes to the field, in pre-season. Let alone the regular season.

Hail.

[Koolblue13]

Where's that Chase kid?

Merriweather has gone to 2 probowls out of three years in the league. I think he'll be keeping his job
