Elon's linebackers also seem light in the butts.

This is definitely just a generic depth chart. I thought Davis participated in last scrimmage ?

wow, i don't like that new "blindside block" rule even though its understandable why they're doing it. but now a blocker has to make a judgement, does this guy see me or not? and the ref's have to make that same judgement too.
to me, its difficult to determine if a guy can actually see you or not unless you're completely behind him, then of course you know he can't. but at what point can a blocker determine whether he can be seen or not by the person he's about to block? its a very difficult judgement call and that's gonna cause a lot of "controversy" the minute a ref calls back a td or long run because he "judged" that a blocked defender didn't see the opposing blocker coming.
just watch. this new rule is gonna cause a lot of "controversies"...

On most Blind Side blocks the blocker most of the time has a step on the Defender that's how he can get his head in the front . Now they want you to shade the defender by getting in between the defender and the Runner . A good RB, KR, PR relies on those blocks though by setting them up hale I use to do it for fun especially on kickoff and punt returns . Now the Back his to trust his speed and hope know one comes up from behind . Ones you break through the line now if you don't have that extra gear you will get tracked down by the Defender. ..lol. Now we will see who can really run a 4.3 or not LOL.

So basically downfield blockers will have to run up to tacklers and try to get their feet set like taking charges.
So much for having to keep your head on swivel, now you can run around willy Nilly on a football field.

So much for having to keep your head on swivel, now you can run around willy Nilly on a football field. Interestingly enough, I don't remember many blindside blocks on our kick returns last year. Typically, our blockers were able to get in front of defenders and make a crease for Malik to blaze through.

Definitely find it interesting that Fumbah is listed as the starting Will linebacker. Must have been making some plays in practice over the last couple of weeks. One of the most glaring omissions on this depth chart is Stephen Davis. Jr. Hopefully he is eligible to play this season and becomes a part of the rotation at outside linebacker or rover. Also, I am pretty sure Mac and Kittles aint playing this week. Kittles is out with an ACL. He told me about it at FunFest. The Headless Horseman (Wilder) has an issue with one of his shoulders dislocating. He said he'll need to go out for a couple play to get it back in, etc. and then go back in. I'm not very concerned because Stuckey is his backup and I believe he's more than capable.

Would the block on that fat kid from jax state on maliks kickoff return count as a blind hit? Trying to wrap my head arohnd this.

Naw, he was looking dead at the guy that made the block. He almost knocked him silly.

I'm just gonna be honest here...I get they want to protect players so they can walk and chew bubble gum when they finish playing in all. But, it is a contact sport and that part cannot be preventing unless they want to change to flag football. I don't know what's worse, how they protect the quarterback in the NFL or this new rule. I get using the helmet as a weapon or targeting but this...Hell Naw!!!

There's an easy way to fix it. Just yell "HEY!!!!" a second before you block the guy to get his attention. He turns around and you hit him. Can't flag that because he looked.

STAT FCS: 10 FCS games to watch in Week OneBy CRAIG HALEY STATS FCS Senior Editor Updated August 28, 2019
(STATS) - Half of the large schedule of FCS games in Week 1 of the college football season involves subdivision teams taking on the larger FBS programs.
FCS versus FCS is equally important with the teams trying to establish a winning tone.
Here are 10 of the bigger games to watch over the extended Labor Day weekend:
Thursday
Southern Illinois at No. 17 Southeast Missouri, 7:30 p.m. Last year's "War of the Wheel" set a series record for total points as SEMO won 48-44. The 87th meeting won't be as high scoring defensive standouts if SIU defensive end Anthony Knighton and strong safety Jeremy Chinn and SEMO linebackers Zach Hall and Justin Swift have their way.
No. 6 Jacksonville State at Southeastern Louisiana, 8 p.m. Jacksonville State coach John Grass says his offense has a problem: there's only one ball. Quarterback Zerrick Cooper threw for a school-record 32 touchdowns last year thanks to the FCS' highest-scoring receiving duo, Josh Pearson and Jamari Hester (28 combined scores). --- Saturday
Georgetown at Davidson, 1 p.m. Two of last year's bigger surprises in the FCS are matching wills (as well as offensive and defensive lines). Davidson was No. 1 in the FCS in total offense and rushing and Georgetown ranked eighth against the run and 11th in total defense.
No. 11 Towson at The Citadel, 3 p.m. Towson quarterback Tom Flacco showed off his running ability in last year's win over The Citadel, but the Bulldogs now have a pretty snazzy runner behind center in Brandon Rainey, who rushed for 529 yards in the final four games.
No. 25 Montana at South Dakota, 3 p.m. The offenses may go up and down the field in the STATS FCS Game of the Week. Quarterbacks Austin Simmons of South Dakota and Dalton Sneed of Montana ranked sixth and ninth in the FCS, respectively, in total offense last season.
No. 21 Elon at No. 20 North Carolina A&T, 6 p.m. This is the only season-opening game that matches two Top 25 teams, and Elon's Tony Trisciani makes his head coaching debut. His talented quarterback, Davis Cheek, won't want to pass at Aggies cornerback Mac McCain.
No. 9 Wofford at South Carolina State, 6 p.m. The two South Carolina programs haven't met since Wofford captured their 2006 season opener. The Terriers ranked fifth in the FCS in rushing last season and return option QB Joe Newman and all five starters on the offensive line.
Mercer at Western Carolina, 6 p.m. This Southern Conference matchup is the first of just two conference openers in Week 1 (also Prairie View A&M at Texas Southern in the SWAC). Mercer won 59-46 last season by overcoming WCU quarterback Tyrie Adams' school-record 545 yards of total offense.
Southern at McNeese, 7 p.m. McNeese has 14 straight winning seasons, but last year's 6-5 record and fourth-place tie in the Southland Conference was a letdown, so it hired a new coach, Sterlin Gilbert, who was Eastern Illinois' offensive coordinator when Jimmy Garoppolo won the 2013 STATS FCS Walter Payton Award. --- Sunday
Bethune-Cookman vs. Jackson State in Atlanta, 3 p.m. The 15th annual MEAC-SWAC Challenge will whet the appetite for the Celebration Bowl in December. The Battle of the Bands afterward will be just as hotly contested.
