Alright, let’s talk about this FAU football stuff. You know, the players and all that. They got this thing called a “depth chart.” Sounds fancy, huh? It’s just a list of who’s playin’ what, like who’s the main man and who’s waitin’ on the bench. Like when I used to make pies, I knew who was gonna roll the dough and who was gonna peel the apples. Same kinda thing, I guess.
So, this “depth chart,” it tells ya who’s startin’ the game. Like, who’s the quarterback, the fella throwin’ the ball. And who’s catchin’ it, the receivers. Then there’s the big boys up front, the linemen, pushin’ and shovin’ like hogs at the trough. They got offensive linemen and defensive linemen. Offense tries to score, defense tries to stop ’em. Simple as that.
Who’s on Offense?
- Quarterback: He’s the one callin’ the shots, like the rooster in the henhouse. Gotta be smart and throw the ball good.
- Running Backs: These fellas run with the ball, tryin’ to get past everyone. Like tryin’ to catch a greased pig, they are.
- Wide Receivers: They gotta be fast and catch the ball when the quarterback throws it. Kinda like catchin’ eggs, gotta be careful.
- Tight Ends: These guys are kinda like a mix of everything. They block, they catch, they do it all. Like a good farmhand, knows a bit of everything.
- Offensive Line: Big fellas, protectin’ the quarterback and makin’ holes for the runners. Like a stone wall, they gotta be strong.
And then there’s the Defense.
- Defensive Line: They try to get to the quarterback and stop the runners. Like a pack of dogs chasin’ a squirrel.
- Linebackers: These guys are kinda in the middle, gotta be tough and fast. Like a good sheepdog, gotta keep everything in line.
- Defensive Backs: They gotta cover the receivers and stop ’em from catchin’ the ball. Like keepin’ crows outta the cornfield.
- Cornerbacks: They gotta be real quick and stick to the receivers like glue. Like burrs on a wool blanket.
- Safeties: They’re kinda like the last line of defense, gotta be smart and tackle hard. Like the fence around the pasture, gotta keep everything in.
Now, I hear they got this Kyler Laing fella playin’ defensive line. Says he’s 6’1″ and 235 pounds. Big fella, huh? From Tallahassee, they say. Probably strong as an ox. They got all sorts of fellas, different sizes and all. Some big, some small, some fast, some strong. Just like in a barnyard, ya got all kinds of critters.
This “depth chart,” it changes too. If someone gets hurt or isn’t playin’ good, they might put someone else in. Like if your best milkin’ cow gets sick, you gotta find another one to do the job. It’s all about who’s the best right now.
They got all these rankings and stuff too. Who’s good, who’s not so good. Like folks judgin’ pies at the county fair. Everyone’s got an opinion, I tell ya. But in the end, it’s all about winnin’ games. That’s what matters. Like gettin’ the biggest pumpkin at the harvest festival. Everyone wants to be the best.
They got this whole roster, they call it. Every player on the team. It tells ya how tall they are, how much they weigh, where they’re from. Like lookin’ at the catalog for buyin’ chicks. You gotta pick the best ones.
So that’s the lowdown on this FAU football “depth chart.” It’s just a way of keepin’ track of who’s playin’. Nothin’ too fancy. Just like keepin’ track of your chickens and cows. You gotta know who’s who and what’s what. And that, my friends, is all there is to it.
