Seize the day, James.

 With the holdout of rookie linebacker Jon Beason and a training camp injury to Naill Diggs this morning, the door is wide open for second year man out of Virginia Tech James Anderson. Opportunites such as these do not happen every day. Anderson, third in line at the WLB position suddenly finds himself among the starters. Now is his chance to prove to John Fox he belongs next to Dan Morgan.

 Last season, Anderson was a pleasant surprise. For a third round prospect, he picked up the defense quickly and showed real promise. During the season though, with more complex offenses thrown at him, he was often found out of position, giving up yardage to the opposition.

Anderson now has a clean slate, and until Beason signs or Diggs is able to practice, he has an open window to showcase what he has learned over the off season.

 Carpe Diem, James. The window won’t stay open long.
