When to expect a depth chart

I predict a minimum of a dozen "OR" in the initial two deeps.
I'm not so sure about that. I also think one of the freshman DT might have taken a spot.
I’d be surprised if any are listed ahead of Isaiah Lee, but I guess they do list a 4th DL in there usually.
Taking about for Enyi's spot. Also not convinced we don't run some 4 man front. Sounds like we have the ponies. Heacock said there were some changes in last weeks interview but didn't go further.
Agreed although if Dominique is learning how to play consistently - or Howard Brown. Those two cats give us a different element especially as an odd front.
Agreed that maybe some more 4 man front. We would seem to have the depth. And with a little less proven line backer core - not that they aren't capable just not as seasoned at the Big 12 level - it might be possible
If Reader and Vance can cover three gaps each for run protection we could easily run 4-2-5 at times.
Three gaps? There's not too many defensive schemes alive that ask one player to cover three run gaps. Generally speaking if you have a player playing multiple gaps you're going to have to get really lucky the ball doesn't hit in the gap they're not in...
the only thing I've ever heard of is a D linemen as a two gap. Its hard for a LB to play both the B and C gap or A and B gap and get thru the garbage around the LOS.
I think Brock is very well rounded and will still play a lot even if Norton becomes RB1.
Maybe you'd even see both on the field at the same time.
This one is about as official as it gets.

Iowa State's football depth chart will include many "either/or" designations. It happens everywhere.

That's why I said if. It's not like the 4-2-5 is more out of the box than the 3-3-5 it's basically the same thing.
Agreed although to some degree that'd be easier with a 3 man front - ie the edge rusher in a 3-4 the NFL teams have really loved to adopt lately.
For some reason I hope Maro starts. I know he's young but IDK - I'm just really wanting to see him play
This could be possible; it would be similar to the "Leo" position that they had when Campbell first got here. They also did drop McDonald back into coverage at least occasionally last year. On the other hand, they did try McDonald at OLB at one point and just abandoned that strategy because it wasn't best using his skillset.
Why would you have your elite, all-American edge rusher --a guy that will demand double teams and extra offensive scheming every snap-- play anything other than the position he dominates?
They care, it's communicating anything to the public that they don't give a rat's @$$ about.
