How quickly will we see Kenjon Barner on Friday?

I think Deangelo will probably be seen on the 1st or 2nd series only, then Barner for the rest of the 1st qtr, then let Smith and Poole play the rest of the game.

 

you are forgetting about Tolbert

He think he'll coming in with Anderson. Assumption is that the first team will be playing 1 or 2 series max. I think if they can score a TD in the first series, they'll call it a day. Barner and Anderson could be playing the first half. Clausen, Cameron, Poole and Smith will be splitting the third and fourth quarter.

To me, it all comes down to how well the ones play. If they move the ball and look good, he may get a run or two, and even a 3rd and long play if it comes up. If the ones struggle, he may not get many plays with them. Although I personally believe they should be able to move the ball. Get in a really good series, then be done. So his opportunities with the ones may be limited.

I expect him to get the majority of his playing time with DA through the first half. Trying to put him into certain situations to see how he performs. Trying to get him specific looks without putting too much pressure on him. This is after all his first game. Let him get his feet wet this week. See what he can do. Then work him in as the preseason progresses.

But hellz, I could be all wrong. He could get plenty of plays throughout the first half. Giving him lots of opportunities to show what he can do. After all, he appears to have what it takes to be productive. Might as well let him show it.

Call me pessimistic but I think he might be mediocre in the begining of his career. He reminds me of CJ Spiller, Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, and Dexter McCluster. All of those guys started pretty slow because being fast wasn't enough. They had to learn the position because they relied too much on their talent in college. I love Barner but that is just something I've been mulling over in my head.

    • CJ Stroud going to flame out if he doesn't watch out..
    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
