Edwards to start the season but Short could finish the season

 

I think Mitchell starts this season buy really it's a open competition... Would like to see Lester make the transition to safety 

 

Ginn wins the PR competition because he's more experienced. Don't think Barner will be active until the end of the season but I hope we don't give up on Joe Adams yet

You should've added the RG position as well.

I got Kenjon returning kicks and Ted as the punt returner.

Has anyone mentioned that Mike Mitchell is the guy that put the late hit on Cam in the Raiders game, that lead to Cam bumping the ref?

DT - You'd expect Edwards to retain his spot, and rightfully so.  He was a very good player for us last year.  I think the idea will be to have Short as part of the rotation, before becoming "the guy" in 2014. It's a good problem to have.

 

SS - Who knows.  I have a feeling it will be Campbell, but I sure wish we did more to address this position.

 

KR - Also think this is open.  Ginn should be the front-runner, but his contract is also very disposable, which gives Barner and Adams an outside chance.

Short, just because I love the kids potential. Dwans an excellent ut but I wanna see what the kid can do.

I loved Campbell last year and id like to at least see if he can do it again.

This one was probably the easiest for me. Ginns a probowl returner, Barner should be used out of the backfield for screens and such. Adams place on the team is dwindling.

dwan the "starter" at the beginning of the season, but that will change as the season goes on...not that it matters. there won't be a ton of difference in the amount of downs that star, short, dwan, and cole play. their going to be rotating that interior DL like crazy.

 

mitchell at SS just because he's got more experience. i don't think really anyone is going to stand out more than anyone else at SS, tho.

 

unless adams really stops lathering up his hands in crisco before he hits the field, we're probably going to see ginn and barner be the returners.

 

should be cap't, florence, and norman starting at CB (and i consider the nickel slot to be a starting gig just because of the number of reps they get).

 

i would also add in hangartner starting the season at RG for a while and then have kugzilla move into the starting gig.

 

i would like to see some more competition at RT. that's the spot that is really worrying me.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
