Bell, Dixon, Martinez, Honas, Will Jackson, Jurgens, Woodyard, Miles Jones, Deontai Williams, Vainuku, Tannor. Am I missing anyone?
 
forgot about Tre Neal. And McQuitty, even though he was on the roster. Daniels will see some snaps as well. Nearly one third of the two deep will probably be new guys.
 
I think Cam Taylor "could" contribute, and depending on what happens at noon today we may have another contributor.

He's referring to Bryan Addison. I think we're a long shot too, but holy kumquats that kid would be a rock star pick-up.

Vainuku will barely play. He's nothing more than a short down and distance or goal line defender.

Jurgens is likely a redshirt needing another year removed from the injury.

Bell will start
Dixon will start
Honas will battle Barry for a starting spot, but will play a ton.
Martinez probably starts
Woodyard will likely back up Lindsey
Mike Williams will be used as the primary vertical threat
Miles Jones will play a ton as Spielman's back up.
Deontai Williams will share snaps with Aaron Williams and be the predominant nickel.
I do think Tre Neal starts at Strong Safety, although he and Reed will share snaps.

Jack Stoll played last season, but he didn't really acclimate a role until late October into November. His presence will really help the scheme. And Austin Allen plus Rafdal will be used as well.

I fully agree here except the QB spot. Till I hear A Martinez beat out Gebbia I will not count that young man out. Way to much skill and we may need that arm of his this year. So my only alterations I add is:
QB: Martinez/Gebbia

Still licking my chops at this 4 wide lineup ...S Morgan, T Lindsey, JD Spielman and J Woodyard...then you add in Bell are RB. How in the world do you defend that much talent and speed??
 
that's why i asked in another thread if we were going to pass block this year.

I guess I'm on the other side of the spectrum.... until i hear that Gebbia has beaten out Martinez.. I am expecting Martinez to start.
 
It’s quite a roster turnover that’s taken place with lots of potential to contribute. I’m curious about Will Jackson, Tre Neal, and Deontai Williams (guy to watch). DB is a big ? this year... but with potential. True frosh could contribute but typically limited, so these ‘older’ guys bring competition to what’s on the roster.
I’m also curious about C Tannor’s role this year.

Listing WR as above: Morgan, Spielman are proven, now add: Lindsey, McQuitty, M. Williams, Jaron Woodyard, huge body Justin McGriff and our big TE’s... yeah if QB and pass pro come through those are scary weapons with plenty of “new” in the mix.
 
Does Tre Bryant count? He only contributed for about six quarters last year.....

Has he been going through the summer conditioning sessions with the team?

From BC at 247: Frost is excited about Bryant's skills if he can get to 100-percent health. "I went back and watched the games from last year and, man, he jumped off the screen immediately when you're watching the early games," Frost said. "I think he's progressing really well and we're excited about the possibility. If he is back, we're going to have to be cautious with him and make sure we're not overloading him. But he's a special player if he's healthy."
I read this as in the event that Bryant is good to play, he will back up Bell. The possibility of having Bell and Bryant as lead backs is a great thing for this team.

Thanks... would be a big bonus if we can get Bryant back. I think statistically, Bryant had the best first career start of any running back we've ever had.
