Depth Chart changes you'd like to see?

I'd like to see them starting Dave Baas at Guard instead of Center, and target Manningham more at WR. I think he's earned it. 

I kid. I kid.

I'd just like to see more time for the underclassmen that could be starting next year. It'll be easier to play them more against Illinois or Sparty than it will at Nebraska and Ohio. I'm guessing SDE Heitzman, FS Jarrod Wilson, WLB Joe Bolden, and maybe QB Russell Bellomy.

It's looking like Keith Heitzman could be starting at SDE next year if Black continues to add weight. Would like to see more of him in the rotation, especially since he's been playing pretty well. Kovacs is Kovacs, but we lose him next year and the backups are a question mark right now. In the first 5 games true freshman Jarrod Wilson has put up as many tackles as 3rd year Wolverines Furman and M Robinson combined, so next year our Safeties could be TGordon moving to SS and Jarrod Wilson starting at FS. Wilson could use more game experience, too, in that case. It's looking more and more to me that Desmond Morgan will start next year, and maybe move to Mike when Demens graduates, but who'll start next to him is anybody's guess because Ross and Bolden have both been playing pretty well. Would like to see more Bolden/Ross too. It'd be nice to see Russell Bellomy attempt a pass or two before Denard graduates and 8 months of Bellomy/Gardner debating begins. When he comes on they usually just have him hand off and run the clock down. Home against Illinois could be his last good chance for meaningful game time this season.

I don't think any changes should be made...we just won by a shit ton and dominated a B1G team not named Minnesota or Indiana on the road.

Why change anything?

As for Taylor, he's been starting for awhile now...Avery is the Nickel, and due to Purdue's spread they both started and played a bunch of snaps with JT Floyd.

Sure Norfleet and Rawls should get more carries, but clearly the coaches are trying to get their starter, Fitz on track. Whats wrong with that when you're up big?

All unsuccessful players need to be replaced with successful players.  

It is not a change that we should seek, but rather improvement.  

I know this is a simplistic answer, but as mere observers of the game, detached from the ins and outs associated with coaching, all we can do is speculate as to who we may think is better based on the sixty minutes of game we see each week.  Don't get me wrong, speculation is a fun part of the game, but unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.

That being said, I don't think that there is any change that can be made, because we don't have any adequate OL replacements.  Fitz ran well last year with good blocking, and to assume that he will have a Hagrup 2011 dropoff in production due to mental or other regressive issues is possible but not probable. The RB position is probably a more instinctive position than the punter, so I doubt that a head issue can be the cause of such a dropoff.  Without any injury of note to Fitz, all signs point to the OL.

Since we've burned his redshirt, I'd like to see Darboh get into the rotation at WR a little more.  Regardless of your opinion (+ or -) on Roundtree, we lose him next year; if Gardner wins the QB job over Bellomy, we're looking at a big ? on the outside.

maybe I would like to see toy'd with is giving Rawls more touches, he is a bowling ball.  I still think Fitz will get it right, just needs to plant foot and go. 

Everyone seems down on Fitz.  I will be the first to say I'd like to see him with more yards at this point in the season, but after watching just about every minute of every game so far this year there has not been a ton of space for him to work with.  Denard has gotten his against everyone but Alabama, but it's hard to compare any runner to Denard.  He is one of the best runners in college football with the ball in his hands and also makes long runs due to his speed that helps out his average yards per carry.  There were times here and there where I didn't think Fitz hit the hole, and I know Rawls came in and looked great.  But, at the end of the game after it's over I'm not sure the defense was cueing on him the way they were Fitz earlier and they were in power running packages for Rawls.  I really didn't see a ton of room for Fitz to run through.  I think the O-line is showing improvement, but ultimately if there are holes Fitz will hit them.  So, although he may miss a few holes here and there, I don't think anything is wrong with him, there just aren't a lot of holes for him to run through.  I don't think we should replace him with Rawls unless we put Denard under center and are in power running formations.  Even still, I'd rather have Fitz in there to break runs.  Moral of the story, there's nothing wrong with Fitz, our O-line just hasn't done as well thus far in the season the way they did in B1G play last year (minus the MSU game).

Darboh looks real good on special teams; Since we ain't gonna throw no more, I say move Darboh to defense and have him back up Jake Ryan and Cam Gordon

I like our starters, even Fitz.  I'd like to see Rawls, Hayes, and Norfleet get some carries, but I'm not ready to give-up on Fitz.

Darboh is playing on kick coverage, and I'm sure that when he's ready to runs some routes on offense, he'll be in the game.  Of course, what good is putting him in if we're only going to complete 8 passes per game?

Defensively, I can't complain.  Well, not much anyway.  I thought our outside coverage was a little loose on Saturday, but other than that I was very pleased.  Sure, I'd love to see the front four get a better pass rush, but I'm not sure we have the talent.  Ryan is a "manster."

The player I most want to see as early as possible on Saturday is Bellomy; that means we're up big and the back-ups are in.

but I would like to see Smith and Rawls get more touches at the running back position.  The lack of production from Fitz has really been getting on my nerves, and his lack of production is the perfect excuse to get the senior more touches and likely the next starting running back after Fitz leaves (or even next season) more experience.

Loving the D so far. They were nasty on Saturday. I was actually excited when they'd take the field. It was almost like, OK, let's see how many yards Purdue can get this time...

Man...I'm shocked at what 4 carries in power formations in garbage time can change the mind of so many fans.

If that is the case lets line up in power formations with Fitz and take away Denard to get him going....

2 things happened last year, we were much better on the interior with Schofield/Molk/Omameh....and not having hopkins right now does hurt us a little bit.

If at any point the rest of the season the passing game can be adequate and by that I mean Denard the last 3 games or so of last season then that will force teams to only having only 7 or so in the box instead of walking down both safeties half the time and tryinh to force our hand.

get some carries this week.  I think he and Rawls, with Norfleet sprikled in, will be a great future combo. 

Hayes has home-run speed, and doesn't seem as small as I remember. 

Totally trust the coaches to know what's going on though. 

I'd like to see Barrett Jones listed as backup at all five offensive line positions. But not the same Barrett Jones because then we would be thin. Five Barrett Joneses. The Legion of the Jonesii.
