The explanation for ending Depth Chart Monday sounded familiar.
Never again will a Saban lecture defining our favorite coordinating conjunction come from the Mercedes Mic next to the promotional soda and water bottles. Generations of sports writers will forget the meaning of “or” -- a staple of the Monday before Labor Day weekend -- when Saban reluctantly revealed what was previously called organizational groupings.
“My biggest issue on the whole team was the day the depth chart came out,” Saban said foreshadowing this year’s move afterThe tune was similar Monday when he kept that promise. Not to go all participation-trophy-rant but are players that affected by seeing what could be bad news that’s probably already obvious internally?
That group doesn’t include two-time defending national champion Georgia where Kirby Smart must also keep deep talent pools happy with only 22 starting spots available.“I’m going to be totally candid with you: I don’t even have a depth chart, so I don’t know where that came from,” Freeze said. “I guess that’s from the SID world. I don’t do depth charts. It’s really nonsense. I mean, you’re going to play your 4-5 outside receivers and your 2-3 inside receivers in our system.
Senior center Seth McLaughlin, one could presume, knows who’ll start at his position. Smart money would be on him. How does he feel about this?
