Does anyone else think that that might not be the best thing? Troy is listed at 6-1, but is probably just a little over 6-0, and on his left side, he has two 6-8 guys. I don't know, it just seems like he might be blinded a little bit. I'm also a little worried about Rehring's mobility for the LG spot. However, there's no denying that there are some road graders on that left side in Datish, Rehring, and Boone.

I think it helps in running blocking because the running back can hide behind a pair of 6'8" guys. Pass blocking might be a little concern because of their height, but Smith rolls out and moves around the pocket anyway so im sure he will be fine.

I wonder if the projected OL positions are correct. It seems to me that if it came down to it, we would probably not put in the 2nd string tackles they have listed. I would have to think we would bump people around.

we had 6'4" / 6'5" guards last year. If he could see over them, he'll be fine with 3 extra inches.

I know it's only the spring depth chart and things WILL be changing, but I wasn't prepared for all the changes.
Offense:
-Where's Roy Hall??
-Rehring moving to G, Datish moving to C. I love Rehring, but having walk-ons in the 2 deep at BOTH tackles scares the hell outta me if it stays like this during the regular season. Plus, I'd really like to see one of our redshirt sophs finally step up (Person, Skinner, Mitchum, I'm talking to you three!). Kinda surprised to see Cordle not 1st team, but I'm sure he'll make a loud argument here this spring.
-Pittman at kick returner. Surprise, surprise! I had been thinking this was screaming Erik Haw or maybe JamO. Interested to see how Pitty does fielding them, because I know he has no problem finding a hole to run through
-Boeckman 3rd team, Shoenhoft 4th team. I figured Boeckman would be 3rd team QB, but I thought Robbie's scout team awards might warrent the upgrade. Should be an interesting battle next spring between those 2 + Henton...
-Hartline 2nd team WR, Dukes 3rd team. Robiskie didn't surprise me, but Hartline over Dukes did. Hartline shows a ton of promise, and I'm excited to watch him here this spring
Defense:
-Larry Grant at 3rd team Sam. I heard a lotta arguments about LG possibly starting over "Animal Jr", but it makes sense that he'll have to earn the spot over guys that have already established themselves here. Should be an interesting battle! That said though, my money's on Laurinitis keeping his spot.
-Spitler moving to OLB from MLB. I was hoping he'd move from MLB, because we are STACKED there right now, especially with Johnson coming in this year.
-Patterson starting over Mitchell. Talk was that Russell was the one challanging Mitchell for a starting spot over the winter, but I guess we had it wrong. I really like the way Patterson hits, but I thought Mitchell had paid his dues to be the starter. I hope he uses this as motivation to get that starting spot this fall.
-Depth at CB (in particular, Amos at 3rd team). To me, this was the biggest surprise. If Amos is 3rd team, Washington must have done something amazing over the winter/bowl game preperation. I thought that Amos would be battling for a starting spot this spring. I'm applauding Antonio Smith and really feeling for Shaun Lane. Didn't know Smith had the hips to switch over from safety, let alone be 1st team during the spring!
-Homan and Coleman playing spring ball. Those two won't be in those same positions on the fall depth chart, I guarantee you.

I just wanna know what happened to Russell, he had a couple of scout team Player of the Weeks last season, but he's AWOL from the rosters on the official site.
