Frank Alexander is a player who really intrigues me, mostly because we saw enough in him to give next year's 3rd rounder.

Josh Norman has also caught my attention, especaily for a 5th round pick. Don't have much evidence other than his d2 highlights, scouting reports,good mini camp reports, and lack of competetion at the # 2 corner to support my feelings but for some reason I feel strongly that he will emerge as the # 2 corner by the start of the season.

Returning Players

Gary Barnidge- I am rooting for this guy because of the how much we used 2 tight ends last year and Shockey being absent. He has flashed in camp before but am strongly hoping he can take it a step further this time

Fua/Mcclain- I am really hoping one of these 2 really steps it up this year and my money is on Fua based of rewatching every game and paying close attention the d-line the 2nd time around.

Obviously theres many more but didn't want to get too carried away and wanted to leave some for you guys as well.

Barnidge - Olsen is a given receiving threat...Barnidge is quite fast for a TE and is definitely on my radar and he should step it up. I think he could get 25+ receptions this year

McClain & Kearse...not Fua because I'm thinking he'll be Ron's backup at NT for now

Keiser, Applewhite, & Alexander - I want to see who jumps ahead within the group behind Johnson & Hardy

Ninja Nakamura - dethrone Martin please

Lamont Bryant - muy interesante

Every year I pick one or two undrafted guys that I take a special interest in and hope they make the team. Last year it was Byron Bell and this year it is Lamont Bryant. If he doesn't make the active roster I hope he makes the practice squad. Then again I liked Taye Bittle a few years back and he went nowhere. Sure these guys are longshots to make the team but who knows stranger things have happened.

Lamont Bryant for sure.

Murphy vs. Gettis, the battle two injured burners with young promising careers.

Reggie Smith, Haruki Nakamura.

Justin Medlock.

Bruce Campbell.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually really intrigued by Nortman punting the ball and Adams fielding punts.

Really excited about Pilares development. 89 is singing his praises a little, so hopefully he can be a secret weapon.

Tolbert's role in our offense has me very interested as well.

Yeah, as they probably won't make the roster, I'm really hoping we keep Lamont Bryant and Jared Green on the practice squad. There's some definite potential there in terms of their size and speed, respectively.

In terms of camp, I think I'm most curious about how our Safety position pans out, with CB2 being a close second. If we see improvements in either the front or back end of our defense (we already know the middle will be stout), then I think our D will be vastly improved.

CBs- Norman and Hogan (as most of you know, Norman looked surprisingly good earlier, while Hogan didn't look great)

WR- Joe Adams, Louis Murphy, and David Gettis

DE- Greg Hardy and Frank Alexander

FS- someone has to start here right?

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
