Receivers/Tight Ends
Daniel:
WR: 1. Marquez North 2. Jason Croom
WR: 1. Josh Smith 2. Josh Malone
WR: 1. Pig Howard 2. Johnathon Johnson
TE: 1. Ethan Wolf 2. Alex Ellis
Thoughts: I’m leaving Von Pearson off for now until we hear anything different. I think the six listed will be the main rotation they go with, and I would add Preston Williams to the equation if/when everything gets cleared up with his health and eligibility. We’ll see if any others can crack the rotation. I thought somebody might step up at backup tight end this spring like Neiko Creamer, but I didn’t really see that happen. I’m sticking with Alex Ellis there.
Houston:
WR: 1. Marquez North 2. Jason Croom
WR: 1. Josh Smith 2. Josh Malone
WR: 1. Pig Howard 2. Johnathon Johnson
TE: 1. Ethan Wolf 2. Alex Ellis/Neiko Creamer
Thoughts: I find it amazing that we still don’t have any official word regarding Von Pearson’s legal situation, so my depth chart remains unchanged at WR/TE. The news of Preston Williams having his ACT score flagged by the NCAA is quite unnerving as well. This is a group that hasn’t caught many breaks over the last year or so, and things haven’t gotten off to a great start for the 2015 season. Here’s hoping that the start of fall camp will signal a change in their luck.
Reed:
WR: 1. Marquez North 2. Josh Malone
WR: 1. Josh Smith 2. Jason Croom
WR: 1. Pig Howard 2. Johnathon Johnson
TE: 1. Ethan Wolf 2. Alex Ellis
Thoughts: Without word on Pearson, no changes for me here. As long as North, Smith, Howard and Wolf are healthy, they should be your starts at the start and end of fall camp.
