    What changes are going to happen on the depth chart?

    If Bowe and Davis are out with injuries, who will start at WR? Has Shyrone Carey moved past Vincent to the #2 running back? Did Arnold take his guard position back from Helms?

    Anybody have any thoughts about it?

    I'm hoping Arnold gets the start against Tennessee. Helms missed WAY too many blocks for my liking.

    Bowe, Davis, & Green will be the top 3 I believe, but just like last night, all of the receivers will get PLENTY of PT. I really liked the way Miles had all of the receivers involved.

    Carey was awesome last night, but you know what? Addai and Vincent were both great, too. I don't think it really matters who starts at tailback. They will all get to play, and they will all perform.

    Addia looked awesome like usual, but Vincent didnt impress at all. He looked pretty slow to me, but then again I was very drunk =/

    Well, from my sober perspective, Vincent played as well as Carey and Addai. He definately looked A LOT better than he did last year. He broke a few nice runs, and he would've had a few more had Brett Helms decided to block some people.

    i agree vincent looked just as good as the rest if not better. I would list them JA(only because of his receiving ability) then 2a-vincent, 2b- carey. Vincent looked real good last night and I'm not sure why a lot of people are saying otherwise. Some people need to watch the game closer.

    i thought vincent looked better than last year and seemed to have a few good runs but was also involved in plays that asu penetrated and he had nowhere to go. davis had a concusion so he'll be back to practice next week. i can't believe we didn't even know anything about bowe until right before the game, kind like the qb decision, i guess miles will be tight lipped about every thing this year. i just hope bowe's injury is a lower ancle injury. highsmith made some good plays and i hope kuele will be ready to go for the florida game. i think last nights game will give the green light for miles and jimbo to open up the offense a little more, russell showed his decision making has improved a lot and he stayed poised with everything going on. regardless of what was said by the players the distractions had to make a big difference, too many mental errors and they didn't seem as fired up as i expected from what was being reported.

    Vincent is definitely our 3rd back. He can't take a damn handoff without stutter-stepping to left or right. It's become a bad habit. He needs to be taught to just hit the damn hole.

    We're definitely going to miss Broussard more than I thought.

    Davis had a concussion last night and looking at him on the sidelines during that final offensive drive for us, he was standing up, talking, pointing on the field and giving incouragement. I think he'll be fine for their next game.

    Same thing for Bowe. He DID, in fact, dress for last night's game, and Miles made mention that they were going to try to "work the pain out during pregame", but obviously, it was a little too sore to play. But again, our next game isn't for another 2 weeks, so he should be, at the least, "probable" for Tennessee.

    As far as the RB's go, to be honest, I really don't think there IS much of a "depth chart"--they all get interchanged so frequently throughout last night's game, that it isn't hard to imagine them sticking with one of the RB's should they get hot on a particular drive (like Shyrone Carey did at one point last night).

    I think they just put Shyrone in the game to see if he could use his height to our advantage and see if we could sneak for some yardage (being we were deep in our own territory, and bunched up along the line, Carey's 5'6" would have been hard to find)...and it was working, so they stuck with him.

    I don't know about that, man. Broussard is a great back, and of course he will be missed, but the running game was great. Carey seemed to be pushing a few piles, actually.

    The running game was really good. I was impressed by it because I really wasn't sure what to expect. Addai, IMO, looked the best. Why didn't he get more carries?

    I can't help but think how nice it would be to have Broussard right now. He would have shredded ASU last night, running all over them. But it sure is nice to know we can have such a great running back like him get injured & still be in great shape with our running game.
