I agree, I think if Easley does develop quick enough, he could rise up the depth chart over Hardy. There are so many unknowns with Hardy, Johnson, Easley & Parrish that it's hard to predict how they will do this season. With finally having an offensive minded coach, we'll be able to see how these guys can truly perform this year.
Between Jackson, Huggins & Roosevelt, that's going to be a hard choice on who stays and who gets cut.
