    Re: Projected two deeps?

    I was talking UNI football with someone this afternoon and we put together what we know based on Farley's presser. He didn't go into detail as to who the back ups are in some positions (see OL) as they are probably unknown at this point, but its a start...

    QB
    Tirrell Rennie (Sr)
    Jared Lanpher (RFr)
    Sawyer Kollmorgen (Fr)
    Connor Bravard (Fr)

    RB
    Carlos Anderson (Jr)
    David Johnson (RFr)
    Zach Cutkomp (RSo)
    Austin Ebertowski (Fr)

    WR
    Josh Collins (RSr)
    Terrell Sinkfield (Jr)
    Jarred Herring (Sr)
    Kevin Vereen (RFr)
    Brett LeMaster (RFr)
    Chad Owens (RFr)

    OL
    RT - Misha Danilov (RJr)
    RG - Jay Teply (RSr)
    C - Brian Palangi (RJr)
    LG - Dan Kruger (RSo)
    LT - Tim Sauer (RJr)
    Ryan Bingaman (RFr)
    Jack Rummells (RFr)

    DL
    Ben Boothby (RSr)
    August Hadenfeldt (RSr)
    Darren Branch (RSr)
    Will Eilert (RSr)

    LB
    L.J. Fort (Sr)
    Jordan Smith (RSr)
    James Conley (RSr)

    DB
    J.J. Swain (Jr)
    Tre'Darrius Canady (RSr)
    Garrett Scott (RJr)
    Varmah Sonie (Jr)

    P
    Kyle Bernard (Jr)

    LS
    John Hubbard (RJr)

    K
    Michael Schmadeke (Fr) - long kicker
    Tyler Sievertsen (RSo) - accurate kicker


    Our conversation was primarily focused on the age difference between the offense and defense. By our count, the offense will lose a QB, 1 OL, and a couple receivers. The defense on the other hand... pretty much the entire front 7 will graduate in addition to one DB.

    My take away from the conversation is that we (as fans) need to live for the present and worry about the future on January 7th.

      Wow, the 7 defensive linemen and 3 linebackers are all seniors and 6 of the 7 are RS Seniors. That is one experienced defense!

        No mention of the word "line" here so to say you clearly said "oline vs dline" is false. Who is your horse in this race, don't act like you don't have one...

          FORTY. Thanks for the shot at the two deep. Looks impressive and very experienced.

          Can hardly wait for the opening kickoff

          It is time to quit just participating in the playoffs and win the playoffs.

            Include me in the group that finds it hard to believe that Martin and Wellington can't get on the field as DBs.

            Only play I remember Sonie making is the fumbled punt return as a true frosh...he is Mr. Minnesota FB so maybe he has drastically improved...

              Martin not being a starter had to be a mis-speak on Farley's part.

                Any body listen to the story about Wellington on OPR today? Incredible is all I have to say!

                  There were a few names not mentioned by Farley that kind of surprised me. I believe that he focused on the starters and additions that will make an impact. For example, he said that there would be 9 or so on the OL that see action but only spoke of 7.

                    Actually in my second post I stated offensive line vs defensive line, but if we are getting into semantics, I also never mentioned the name Rennie anywhere in my previous posts, so I find it odd how everyone jumped on me, thinking he was the person I was offended by as captain, which is not the case....and in response to who is my "dark horse"..... I am a fan from Cedar Rapids who has been admiring this up and coming team for about 3 years now and was disappointed to not see Jay Teply as a captain, I guess I do not know how he acts during practice etc. but I have seen him involved with many camps, interviewed for TV multiple times and other things around the community, including a story about the offensive line visting a young girl in the community who eats, lives and bleeds purple and gold. He seems to be a stand up guy, very involved, and a great football player. If someone knows something different, please inlighten me.

                      The players vote. The top five vote-getters are captains. I don't think it is indicative of anything more than the boys voting for who they wanted, and who they thought would be the best leaders. There are several young men in that class that probably received votes, but didn't get in the top five. They don't mention vote-getters 6 - 10. Perhaps Jay was in that group. Either way it doesn't matter and the young men selected are all great kids and good leaders.

                      On an additional note, I personally am a huge fan of the fact that the boys pick rather than the coaches. I would think it makes it much more meaningful to them to select their own leaders rather than having them thrust upon them by the coaching staff.

                        Looks like Montari Leonard has been moved to DB. Don't know if its just a camp experiment or if there is no going back.

                        Courier: More in the mix in the secondary.

                          From that article

                          A few days later, Farley said the secondary chart goes deeper. Andre Martin, who's battled an injury early in fall camp, returns. Martin played safety in 2010 and led UNI with five interceptions. But he has played cornerback in the past, and he took snaps at that spot once more during practice.

                          Montari Leonard, a veteran wide receiver, is now in the secondary. So is former running back Wilmot Wellington.

                          "They're all fitting in," said Farley.

                          He added, "It's wide-open ... It's a mixed bag right now. I don't even know who the starters are. I just know who's showing up early."
                          I'm sure, unless he is injured, Martin will starting at safety on September 3rd.

                            I'd love to see him back at CB.

                            We'd have decent DB size with martin and swain at CB and Scott and Canaday at safetys....

                              I disagree. He has the size, speed, and hitting ability to be a monster at safety. He is a fine CB, but I think safety best suits his skills, IMO. I also think, if he can lay off on jumping on every move and getting burned deep, Sonie will be a very good CB.

                                I thought it should be Rennie, Herring, Bootby, LJ and Teply. I just see Teply more of a leader then Augie. but either way it will be a good year!!
