QB Klubnik or Helms - Klubnik has made some bonehead plays and leaves the pocket to early, but we are seeing some progression and confidence happening. Big week this week, so we will see how he performs. Helms has done a great job filling in so far and the offense actually seems to really flow nicely when he is in there. However, he doesn't have the athletic ability as a runner like Klubnik. Klubnik is our best starting option right now.
RB Mafah/Shipley/Thomas/Haynes/Adams - Shipley had his worst game this weekend, but he did great in the other 2. He is a gamer and will have a good game against FSU. Mafah has seemed to find some holes in each game. He runs with power and would like to see more opportunities for him going forward. Thomas is a quicker shiftier runner that has done a solid job so far, but he isn't the 3rd and 1 guy. Haynes has shown a knack for finding the hole and hitting is with a smooth quickness. He provides something that I am not seeing with the other running backs so far. He could end up being a really good one for us. Adams is a beast. I like the way he runs and pounds people. I think him and Mafah should be used more for the short yardage type runs as they are both pounders. I really like the two back sets and Mafah and Shipley when in together seem to really get the running game going. They are our two best options at RB, but some of these other guys are solid as well.
WR Collins/Williams/Randall/Turner/Brown/Stellato/Spector/Johnson - Collins has had a few drops, but has made some decent catches as well. It is weird with him because he seems to disappear in games at times. Williams has been very solid so far, but he did get a little banged up in this last game. He hasn't been great, but ok. Randall hasn't really done much of anything. We really aren't getting much out of him for some reason. Turner injured his groin again and will be out for a long time. He hasn't given us anything this year so far. Brown is having the Antonio Williams type of freshman year and needs to be on the field as a starter. If we put him, Antonio and Collins on the field at the same time we would be much more potent in my opinion at WR. Stellato has surprised me. I think he actually gives us a solid weapon off the bench in front of Spector. He has some wiggle in him and will only get better and better if he can stay healthy. Spector isn't going to help us at all unless there are a lot of injuries. Johnson hasn't played yet but looked pretty solid in the Spring. I was hoping they would just go ahead and play him and get him some experience. Definitely think Collins, Williams and Brown are our 3 best options at WR right now with Stellato, Randall and a healthy Turner filling inf for them
TE - Briningstool, Ennis, Sapp, Pope - Briningstool has underpeformed so far in my opinion. I was hoping he would be a much greater weapon this year, but just not seeing it. Ennis hasn't really done much of anything in the passing game, but is probably a better blocker. Sapp has made a few plays and looks ok. Pope hasn't really played much but did decent in the Spring game. Briningstool is probably our best option at TE right now, but I would really like to see him up his game a lot.
OT - Miller/Leigh/Sadler - Miller has played pretty solid so far at RT. Leigh has done ok and Sadler has done ok. None of them have played lights out or outstanding, but all of them have been ok so far with exception of Leigh in goal line stands against Duke getting blown up. I am fine with Miller starting at RT and either of the other two at LT.
OG - Tate/Parks/Mayes - Tate has been good so far. Parks has been banged up but solid when able to go. Mayes is definitely the 3rd of the group. Tate and Parks need to be the starters in the FSU game if they are both healthy and ready to go.
OC - Putnam/Linthicum - Putnam has been good on his snaps and has upped his play. Haven't seen much of Linthicum, so Putnam is the best option
