Most Intriguing Player To Watch This Preseason?

1) Vance McDonald -- Critical to our offense this year.
2) AJ Jenkins -- Could take a 2,000lb weight off our back if he can play well early.
3) Eric Reid -- Seems to have a knack in training camp. Would love to see him play against Manning, good or bad.
4) Ian Williams -- Is he really a starting nose tackle?
5) Nnamdi Asomugha -- Where is he right now; mentally, physically?
6) LaMichael James -- Huge potential for him to help us out big, in many ways.
7) Glenn Dorsey -- How will he fit in our defense?
8) Carter Bykowski -- Can he play? PLEASE. We need OT depth.
9) Corey Lemonier -- Does he show flashes? Is he strong enough?
10) Lawrence Okoye -- OK, I'll admit it, I'm intrigued.

Everyone else is injured. Otherwise Tank and Patton would make the list.

biggest question marks are jenkins and nnamdi for me. those two NEED to step up

Glen Dorsey is going to be the best D-tackle we have had in some time. He will start day 1 and be a force inside. The most exciting and most un-talked about pick up this season.

1-4 make perfect sense since we lost key players, playmakers, at all of those positions this off season

I'm really interested in Corey Lemonier. He was our third round pick this year which shows the FO saw something in him in college. Want to see if he can make an impact and get to the qb with some diverse moves. He looks like he's got some good size. And I heard he's relentless when he's after the qb.

Can he provide depth and not much dropoff when rotating to keep our passrush fresh?

If he plays, okoye

Ok glen

I think Dj.Harper is going to become a popular topic over the next 4 weeks

Exciting runner, who can block and catch pretty good too, I'll predict he has the most rushing yards and TD's in august

yet, Williams is beating him out so far.

Tramaine Brock.........The coaches are talking him up. Haven't seen him do much in the past other than on ST.

definitely Brock. My lasting memory of him is watching him get picked on by Eli in the 2012 playoff game. If he really is looking good in TC I want to see how he does this preseason. Him stepping up would be HUGE. Also want to see how Nnamdi does of course.

Dorsey has also never been a NT.

Williams is ballin. He'll be our starting NT. Dorsey will be the first guy off the bench at all 3 DL positions. So he should be a solid role player. But hardly a big difference maker.

AJ Jenkins
Eric Reid
Lawrence Okoye
Vance McDonald
Quinton Patton
Corey Lemonier
LaMichael James
Tramaine Brock
Nnamdi Asomugha
Ian Williams
Cam Johnson
Daniel Kilgore
Joe Looney

Jenkins, McDonald and Patton for me...
