    Correct me if l'm wrong on this, but wasn't Dray considered a mostly blocking TE, who happened to catch a high percentage of passes, albeit few, thrown his way when we signed him?

    I think that guy is poised to be a breakout pass catcher this year. Poised dammit!

    And l like Greco too. Even more than Grieco. 21 Jump Street yo.

      Special teams:


      K - Coons


      P - Lanning


      LS - Hughlett




      I imagine we will bring in a real kicker.



      Is Hughlett expected to beat out Christina Yount? I remember Yount slumped last year, but rebounded.

        Ok.....still super early, but we have some new names and thought Id take a swing at this now and see how things shake out.....

        I think you may need at least one more OL.

        Maybe for PS, but feel these guys would cover all the bases game to game(46 man roster).....plus, Im using exactly the same # we carried last year.....so they would almost have to feel we are weaker at OL than last year to add an extra one.....(right?)

        I think Desmond Bryant still starts at DE ... whatever the final DL arrangement, it looks like a bad-ass defense.

        Sure looks bad ass on paper(which is what we said last year too).....Farmer says he wants "waves" of DL coming and going....though Im not a huge D. Bryant fan, but only time will tell there.....he is definitely our healthiest DL player tho

        Dont know here.....Im just guessing based upon who we have.....

        I do know Yount struggled and Hughlett came in with some high praise....so, just "hoping" we upgrade there, just like any other position.....

        Same with the kicker......we might already have a "real" kicker in camp, but we just dont know it yet....or maybe not.....

        Where do kickers come from anyway?????

          One thing is for sure, looking at our depth, it's easily the deepest the team has been since the early 90s. Nothing has come close since to the depth we have this year

            The last two good ones we had were nobodies kicking around looking for a job.

            I think we stole Stover from the Giants practice squad and Phil Dawson from Patriots practice squad.

            Hopefully we get lucky again.

                    duh, really? i know i didn't show all the depth but i showed the important stuff like RB and WRs.......that's all. so in any given play one or two or three of the offensive weapon positions will be on the field or not.

                    stop being a larryfine

                          Hawkins is faster so he would be better in slot. Hartline is used to being #2 wideout..

                                  I wonder if we'll be seeing a lot more single back this year. Using 11 personnel in a way but housler in more of a wing spot as opposed to Dray whom is more traditionally in line. Hell, we have quality receivers and I'd like to have Hawk on the field quite a bit.

                                    We must have approached about 80% single back last year.

                                    I get the feeling Pet would love more 2-back sets... if we find a decent FB/H-back option.

                                          Early from OTA's tapes:: Think M. Johnson(FB) will see a lot of reps this year on screens and lead blocks in line. Crow now down in weight looks Quick but now can he block at that weight & stay Healthy?? Crow, Johnson & Johnson does not leave a lot left for a sometimes in Pet's Doghouse West. May the best man win!!
