Offense I buy ya but a few changes on defense.

 

I can't even remember who the hell is on our team right now to be honest. I DO have a bad feeling about an injury to someone of signifigance occurring in pre-season though. I don't know who, but Henne is in the back of my mind. I am hoping that I am 100% incorrect.

 

now that i think a lil more i dont think fasano will start neither will allen

I have to ask those of you who did not include Sean Smith in your starting line up...why?

 

because statistically the two rookies didn't have such great years and will allen may kick their arses in preseason so you gotta pick Vontae or Smith

 

Well they were rookies and showed promise. I don't wanna screw up the CB tandem that will potentially terrorize offenses for years to come.

Dont you wish that evil on me Ricky Bobby.

 

WOW! I like gutsy calls... John Jerry, Tim Dobbins and Smith/Davis! NOICE!

Sounds like a heck of a lineup to me! I'll have to go with this, although I'd like to see Donald Thomas become that mauler Sparano envisioned. I'd also like to see Crowder step up the way Zach would want him to but Dobbins looks and sounds like a really good pickup and he seems to be very intent on becoming a starter.

* Thomas will get every opportunity, does he have the desire ...
* Odrick needs to earn his spot and he will, it's just a question of how long it takes.
* Crowder gets a break with Dansby, Dobbins will challenge -- will be a situational platoon
* Anderson has the edge to start, Wake is the key to the OLB set ...
* W Allen will be healthy - and will push Smith ... will be an interesting decision -- CB or nickel 'QB'

you must be freakin kiddin right, this thing is hopefully a joke

 

It isn't like I am rooting for it to happen. Pre-season injuries happen every year, and I think we have been pretty lucky to avoid major ones recently. I just get the feeling that we won't be so lucky this year, is all.

 

It seems like everyone is on the same page.
only differences in the list are
Crowder/Dobbins
Culver/Clemons
Allen/Smith

I think Crowder will start over Dobbins. Though by the end of the season I could see Dobbins starting.
Clemons over Culver.
Smith over Allen. Though I think he could have a better year than Smith, I think the team wants to keep the young guys playing together.

 

QB - Chad Henne Unless Anything Happens, This should be it
RB - Ronnie Brown Same For Above
FB - Lousaka Polite Default
WR - Brandon Marshall We didnt bring him in to backup right?
WR - Brian Hartline Has more play making ability than Camarillo although Cammy's hands are great i like him more in 3rd down packages
TE - Anthony Fasano I have high hopes for him this year
LT - Jake Long Same for Henne
LG - Donald Thomas All we really needed was depth Thomas is a great guard
C - Jake Grove If hes healthy
RG - Richie Incognito Is he even battling for a starting job? i thought it was his the day he stepped in lol
RT - Vernon Carey Same for Henne

DE - Kendall Langford Good
NT - Randy Starks Has already been established unless Ivey,Soliai and Baker becomes a monster all of a sudden
DE - Jared Odrick He will take Merlings spot Done Deal
OLB - Koa Misi I dont think we'll start Moses or McCoy This early and Walden is our STer
ILB - Karlos Dansby Started for Us The Day The Letter K was written on that contract
ILB - Tim Dobbins Hopefully Dobbins will start over the Non Playmaking Crowder
OLB - Charlie Anderson Only Because Wake needs to improve in coverage
CB - Vontae Davis Unless he does HORRIBLE in Preseason hes starting
FS - Chris Clemons Alot of Good Things heard about him im still deciding between him and Jones
SS- Yeremiah Bell Pro Bowler Nuff Said
CB - Sean Smith they barely threw to his side during the season, good cover man, Him or Will Allen

 

Sean was a much better cover corner. Vontae was a great tackler and created big plays (ints) but he got burnt much more than Smith.

 

starting center: unlucky"I'm only four feet tall but scrappy" luciano

 

It kind of just breaks down to some important questions.

1. Does Ronnie start the season or does Ricky have to start in his place while Ronnie gets warmed up?
2. Who starts/plays opposite Marshall in 2-WR sets, between Brian Hartline, Greg Camarillo and Davone Bess?
3. Who wins the LG job, between John Jerry, Donald Thomas, Cory Procter and Nate Garner?
4. Will Richie Incognito lose a RG job that seems already given to him?
5. Who between Phil Merling and Jared Odrick wins the RE job?
6. Does Koa Misi run away with the SOLB job as I've been assuming since draft day?
7. Does Channing Crowder lose his two-down job to Tim Dobbins?
8. Does Cameron Wake beat Charlie Anderson for a job on 1st and 2nd down?
9. Which two between Will Allen, Sean Smith and Vontae Davis will start in base packages?
10. Who wins the Free Safety job in base packages, between Tyrone Culver and Chris Clemons?

Spot on, 3 quibbles:

-Phil Merling opens at DE

-Imho Q Moses opens at OLB especially against Buffalo, a run heavy team.

-Ty Culver at FS, they talked up Clemons, but I just think they go with the Veteran on Opening Day.

I think Wake and Misi are rotational players to start the year as both are conversion projects to OLB.

Love the Donald Thomas selection imho he has been written off to quickly as he was the #1 guy on the Dolphins Oline at the point of attack with 83% wins in man on man blocking.

 

interesting

 

US plays Ghana @ 2:00pm today
