1) Four games in, any freshmen you see coming on to make meaningful contributions for the last 8 games that haven't done much so far? Obviously Byrd and Buchanan are starting already. Thinking Osborne, Warrior, one/both of Callaway/Johnson, and Bituli in particular.
2) Same question for the JUCOs. Obviously Kongbo and Alexis are guys we're hopeful on...do you see either/both of them making serious strides to become real impact players for the last 2/3 of the season? The other two less heralded JUCOs, George and Henderson...anything on them?
3) How big is it for the team to get Latroy Lewis back? We're clearly pretty deep at DE, but he was playing a fairly high % of DE snaps before he got hurt, wasn't he? My understanding is that he's more of a runstopping DE than a passrusher, so I'm thinking he could be pretty important this week and vs. Bama in particular.
4) How is Kyle Phillips playing, IYO?
5) When do you think DK Jr returns?
6) Do you think Bryant and to a lesser extent Bituli's performance vs. UF will give CTT and CBS confidence to play them a little more, especially in the event that JRM continues to play sparingly?
7) What are your thoughts on Preston Williams right now? We all know that he's gone from being the go-to guy on the season's opening drive to the side of a milk carton. Is he hurt? Is his confidence down? Or is it simply that they are "riding their horses" which consists of a much smaller rotation of Malone/Jennings/Byrd/Smith and also using Croom as a 5th WR? I guess I know the deal, but am curious if you have an ideal of his current mental state and an opinion as to whether there is still a chance he can have a big season. If he comes on...man.
8) Speaking of Croom, how much do you think we'll continue to see that 2-TE set that was so effective against UF? It really gave is so much flexibility in terms of formations and was utilized pretty damn nicely in terms of creating and exploiting mismatches.
9) Rank, IYO, the staff's reasons for the move of Foreman to CB: a) complete loss of confidence in/by Martin, b) confidence in Foreman's ability to play well there, c) Osborne being banged up.
What's your opinion on his ability to play well there?
10 Bonus recruiting question: Why do you think we're falling back from the pack with Akers?
