Off-Season Things To Look At

[QUOTE=Roy P;678]1. Which combination will eventually fill the FS and SS positions? Do we have reason to believe it will be something other than Earl and Brown, together again?

Kubes really liked that combo before Earl was hurt, but I thought Will Demps played well enough in his time to be the starter going into camp. Besides his butterfingering some INT's, (at least he was in position to make a play) he had that big forced fumble that really helped turn the tide against the Buc's and when he was insterted against the Raiders played physical and continued to play physical the remainder of the year.

I am interested in the Brandon's. We do need more speed at the SS spot. I think CC will be the FS, and Demps and one of the Brandon's at SS. Earl might be in a fight for a roster spot.

First off, we do not play SS & FS, we play left side & right side. We ask all of our safeties to do the same things. Supposedly this help to disguise the coverage.

And yes, I want to see the Brandons at safety, and I want to see how the other Brandon, Orr is progressing.

Let's hope the same things this year do not entail running after wide open WR's and Dallas Clark.

Good reads, all. One thing....I don't think Petey makes it out of TC, JMHO.

unless they bring in some veterans from somewhere I don't see how he doesn't. Bennet, Reeves, and Molden are locks. I'm assuming Fletcher gets one other spot. I would guess that we would carry at least 5 CB's. That means that Derick Roberson?, Derrick Johnson?, or Jimmy Williams?. It's possible that one of those guys could come out of nowhere (like Faggins did when he was sort of a feel good story). I don't think faggins will be done any favors by the coaching staff, but based on what else is on the roster I would think he would at least be penciled in to make the team.

I don't know anything about any of these other CB's listed, so if someone has reason to believe one of them has some potential please fill me in.

If you were expecting him to be a starting level corner, no way he makes that, but he is a solid nickle or dime guy. I just don't see anyone else that they would really trust in those spot this year that's on the roster. Now in 09, that's a whole nother deal.
