Mid-Camp Three-Deep

Mid-Camp Three-Deep

I get to the point where I don't trust the ranking of a single player in The 90 Illini. I get into the 40's and I don't think I have any of the players ranked correctly. I've always said that 47 is the two-deep plus kicker, punter, and longsnapper but when you rotate more than two players at each position the "two-deep" goes well past 44 players. And this year, with so many of the backups TBD at this point (at least in my opinion), I'm struggling even more with the rankings in the 30's and 40's.

So that's when it's time to put together a three-deep. Force myself to say "this guy is first string, this guy is second string, and this guy is third string" at each position. Hopefully that fixes my 90 Illini struggles.

Right to it. Three players at each position. And, as always, I have 12 positions on defense because we switch so much from 5-1-5 to 5-2-4 and even sometimes 4-2-5.
