2016 Two-Deep

[lefty08]

Allen locked up that spot pretty quick, it wasnt much of a battle.

Mitchell wasn't much of a QB, but he was a great athlete

[MuskogeeHogFan]

This was my attempt at a "TWO-DEEP" roster before the spring practices.
Austin Allen is the most experienced QB on the team, so he got the start. I struggled with either Town or Storey at #2, and went with Town's overall talent. Peavey is a good QB, but he does not have the arm strength the others have, plus he is actually better suited for a spread offense like A&M or Auburn.
As for RB, Bielema said he thought Whaley might be the most overall talented RB he has ever signed, which is really saying something. With RWIII injury, and the fact that Whaley is more talented and faster than Kody, that's what I ended up with.
When the Hogs go with 3-wides, look for Hatcher, Morgan, and either Reed or Cornelius to start. But  the other receivers will get their share of playing time.
At TE, Sprinkle is the clear starter. Kraus is going to be a blocking TE. Gragg, Cantrell, and O'Grady are interchangeable to me.
The O-Line is what it is. But CBB and his staff had better find the other three starters fast so that unit can gel early in the season.
At DE, I went with the most experienced guys, three of whom will be seniors. Bell and Agim will get their time on the field, but like I said at the beginning, this was a TWO-DEEP.
DT is self-explanatory. That's who we have, although you could throw in Capps, Guidry, and Marks.
Josh Williams may or may not be back, I don't know. If he isn't, look for Hackett to start and Ramsey to back up. DeJon Harris might play too, but Kendrick Jackson is moving back to MLB and he is a good player.
I went with two backups at FS because Richardson made some plays down the stretch in 2015, but look for Sykes to do good things this year.
:razorback:

While it is imperative that we get far more production out of our LB's this coming season, I will say that I am encouraged by the numbers we have accumulated at those positions. As it stands right now, we will enter the fall with 15 LB's. I'd be tickled if we can find 5 or 6 from that group that are capable of playing well consistently in all phases of LB play.

DT is a little scary in terms of depth even with the additions from this recent recruiting class. We have 4 that range in experience from some to a lot of experience and 4 more with none.

At DE we are going into the season with 12 on the roster and a lot of experience among the top 4 which should offer us a good opportunity to develop the other 8 during the season.

In the Secondary we will start with 14 at CB and 5 at Safety, though position numbers could change over the spring as evaluations proceed. We have to hope that we can find 7 or 8 out of the 19 total that are capable of providing solid coverage play after play. It would be nice to have a couple of CB's that can also come up and turn running plays back inside.

[PorkRinds]

We need a kicker that can put the ball in the end zone. Teams always seemed to start with good field position against us last year. It's kind of disappointing that we can't find one with a strong enough leg to get it in the end zone consistently. Hopefully one of the three experienced placekickers on campus will develop.

:razorback:

I see people complain about this a lot.  I honestly feel like some of the kickoffs not getting into the end zone was by design.  IIRC I saw a stat that our kickoff coverage ended up being better off this way because the returns against us averaged less than the 25 yards you get from a touchback.  I could be wrong, but I swear I think I read that.

I think you are right, many of those were by design. I don't understand the logic of the short kick-offs unless you have the ability to hang the ball really high between the goal line and the 20 and have the personnel that can get down and cover to the point that there is virtually no return. Now you kick into the EZ it comes out to the 25 and you deny the other team the potential for a big play. Against K-State in the bowl, we gave them an average starting field position on KO's of about the 34-35 yard line using the short KO methodology and with our defense last year, I never saw that being a good idea, even though we won the game.

I agree with you. Unless you can almost always stop them inside the 20 yard line the risk is not worth the reward.

[MS_HogFan]

Does anyone have stats on how often college kickers get touchbacks?

[factchecker]

We only had 11 touchbacks the entire season... which accounted for 14.29% of our kickoffs.

http://www.cfbstats.com/2015/team/31/kickoff/index.html

We allowed 19.52 yards per kick return with one TD.  However, that stat is misleading.  19 yards per kick return sounds great..... unless they are returning the ball from the 10 (ball on 29) or even worse the 20 (ball on 39). I don't have the stats but it felt like we constantly put our defense at a disadvantage with poor field positioning.

http://www.cfbstats.com/2015/team/31/kickreturn/defense/split.html

For example----

Against Kansas State we only allowed 14.25 yards per return but they were consistently starting with great field position.  In fact their worse return resulted with a starting position on the 26 yard line:

Lane Saling kickoff for 48 yds , Morgan Burns return for 18 yds to the KanSt 35

Lane Saling kickoff for 39 yds , Winston Dimel return for 7 yds to the KanSt 33

Lane Saling kickoff for 52 yds , Morgan Burns return for 41 yds to the Ark 46

Lane Saling kickoff for 50 yds , Morgan Burns return for 32 yds to the KanSt 47

Cole Hedlund kickoff for 32 yds , Tanner Wood return for 3 yds to the KanSt 36 KANSAS ST Penalty, Illegal Block (10 Yards) to the KanSt 26

Cole Hedlund kickoff for 35 yds , Tanner Wood return for 8 yds to the KanSt 38

Cole Hedlund kickoff for 29 yds , Landon Root return for a loss of 1 yard to the KanSt 35 , Morgan Burns return for no gain to the KanSt 35

Cole Hedlund kickoff for 32 yds , Andre Davis return for 6 yds to the KanSt 39

http://espn.go.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=400852740


I understood the reasoning behind trying the squib kicks against Burns.  He was a deadly kick returner for K-State.  You try not to kick it to the most dangerous weapon on the team.  I would prefer to accomplish this by kicking out the back of the end zone.

Yeah, I'm not sure I agree either.  I see the reasoning, but I don't think it worked out like they wanted it to.

Very few college kickers are kicking it out of the back of the endzone.  Most kick it about 3-5 yds deep. which is just a good starting point for good KR's.  Giving up field position in order to avoid a big play that electrifies a team, crowd, and changes momentum is the right choice, when you don't have great kickers.

People on here act like kickers that boot them through the EZ are a dime a dozen.  They aren't.

[Polecat]

Finding a walk-on, or anyone for that matter,  who can strictly kick the ball out of the end zone on kickoffs should be a priority before fall

[MS_HogFan]

We were 118th in TB %.

Who cares about that.  What I want to see is how we ranked in opposing teams starting field position after kickoff.  That's the only relevant stat that applies to this discussion.

I know a former coach who liked blondes and motorcycles said he preferred to kick to inside the 5, in the deep corner, that he believed that was the best strategy to give the opponent the worst starting field position.

I understand there's a risk of giving up a long return in that, but there's also a chance the opponent could fumble, or their returner could pull some Reggie Fish-type play and end up in really bad field position.

[bennyl08]

Allen locked up that spot pretty quick, it wasnt much of a battle.

Didn't say it was a great battle, but it was a battle. Also, how are you defining quick? Coach hadn't made it official even at the end of spring as I remember, though Allen seemed to put the nail in the coffin during the spring game. For at least half of spring, the two were getting even reps as I remember.

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/fpa

Per this chart, Arkansas opponent's starting field position was 72.7 yds from the end zone.  While that isn't the metric being ranked here, it does appear to rank well within the top 30-40% of FBS schools.

Anyway, it's the best I could come up with, as this doesn't appear to be a commonly measured statistic.

Apparently a lot of people care you jerk. It had been discussed in this thread so I looked it up and posted it.

I agree but it still doesn't stop me from wishing for it to happen.  We were spoiled by Hocker and his 67.24% touchback rate (2012).... he had a slightly lower 43.01% tb rate in 2011.

[TheRazorback500]

We were 118th in TB %.

http://www.cfbstats.com/2015/leader/national/team/offense/split01/category29/sort04.html

Interesting how we had such a low percentage of touchbacks while only averaging 5 yards less per kickoff than the top team.

I think you misread a tone I wasn't sharing there. My bad.

Not stupid at all.

From his signing day bio:

Totaled over 350 tackles, including more than 60 for loss, and 24 sacks the last three seasons at Star City ... Collected 122 tackles, including 26 for loss, and eight sacks to help Star City to a 9-4 record in 2015 under head coach Jeff Furneaux ... Also played on the offensive line at Star City with 113 pancake blocks

http://www.arkansasrazorbacks.com/749-austin-capps-submits-nli/


It's all dependent on where the coaching staff sees him but I think he would excel at either position.  Austin also seems like a young man who would adapt well to any situation put in front of him.

Assuming this is an opening weak depth chart, other some some minor differences of opinion behind the starters, can't disagree here.

Later in the season, Whaley and Agim among other changes will happen IMO.

[FANONTHEHILL]

Oline is a  work in progress. Running with the 2's the last 3 practices were:
LT Johnny Gibson LG Jalen Merrick C Zach Rogers RG Deion Malone RT Cooper Sone

They all work multiple spots and it looks like we are still a top 8, plug in and play, rather than a true two deep. 

[Lake City Hog]

I am willing to go out on a limb and say that Game 1 will see Ty Storey as the #2 guy.

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

Coach B came out about 2 months ago saying Allen would begin spring as the #1 guy and peavey would be the #2. Allen has held on to that position, and after the practice statistics, I don't see why Rafe wouldn't either

[FANONTHEHILL]

Today's practice (4-16) featured a lot of guys plugged in with the first and second teams.  Lots of different groups working together, especially on the offensive and defensive lines.  I can  say that without a  doubt, this team had the deepest quality depth of any Arkansas team I've seen.  Wise, Ledbetter, Johnson, Jackson, Winston, Agim, Smith, Watts, Marks, Lewis,
Dean.  This is an amazing group.

[Dionysos25]

SMH @ OP. people and their obsession with the "new guy on the roster". There's no reason to believe that Ricky Town is going to jump Ty and Rafe.. He may.. but there's currently no reason to believe that. He's not shown it on the field..

I'd like to withhold such a statement for a group that leads us to an SECC with a #1 SEC defense, if you don't mind.

Billy Ray Smith was amazing.  Maybe Sosa will perform at such a level some day.

To be fair, you can have an amazing unit and not be the #1 defense in the SEC and win an SECC. No doubt, Billy Ray Smith was great back in the day and played for a great defense, but you can't really compare two different eras like that because the competition is completely different.

I'll be happy if our defense gets back to 2014 form. To me, that'd be amazing.

[redleg]

I feel fairly confident that they will, and maybe even be a little better thanks to some added quality depth. 2017 will be a rebuilding year on that side of the ball, but 2018 should be really good again (IF recruiting keeps up the pace).

It would make me very happy, I know that for sure!!

And I think it could be IF IF IF IF perhaps maybe 3 kids step up this fall big time.  We need an explosive pass rush presence, a dependable third LB, and improved safety play.

Pass rush - Wise and Agim

improved safety play - Liddell and Ramirez should be better, but look for Dalton to hit someone REALLY hard a few times.
