2016 Camp Battles!

QB: CJ vs Barkley: I'm interested to see where CJs development is, because with Barkleys inconsistent play so far in his career if CJ can't surpass him we will almost know for sure where we're going to stand with him.

RB:I for one think Williams should be in RB1 discussions and I'll be curious to see if he can surplant Hyde.... Hearing he has the vision and we know he is much quicker n faster but can he pound for extra yards and is he %100 committed..

It's all about Redmond vs. Williams.

Pulling for Redmond.

I'm pulling for Tartt

The three interior OL spots. Particularly the Guards. Pulling for Garnett to improve and show that he belongs.

All the above. You got all the action. My main guy I have to wait until pre season...Kyle vs himself.

It will be interesting to see how the TE / OW battle plays out. Seems like an area that Kyle has paid significant attention to, and thus may end up more significant than normal.

WR- Nothing is set at that position.

RB- I think the reports of Hyde are exaggerated, but it is obvious that he needs to work if he wants to be the guy.

D-line - the most interesting thing is where is everyone gonna play, and who will ultimately be the LEO of the defense.

CB - Could make or break the defense. Bunch of young guys that are talented but need to grow up quickly, especially Robinson.

This preseason will probably be the most exciting in a while because there are a lot of new guys and almost no position is set in this team.

In equal order of attention I'll pay-
Tight ends.
2nd string QB.
The whole D Line aside from DeFo.

I want to see a Smith vs Brooks battle for the SAM. Partly because I'd be pissed if Reuben is healthy and not starting

RB for me. Our offense will be based around running the ball first so it will be interesting to see what happens there.

Offensive line by extension of that will be worth keeping an eye on.

Per Saleh this will be an "under" defense where the SAM will have their hand in the dirt 70 percent of the time. This is not part of Smith's game. He doesn't have the strength or size to seal the edge. Smith's experience within the scheme will add valuable depth as a WILL or MIKE, even if he fails to grab a starting spot. It's a good problem to have.

MIKE: Navarro Bowman vs. Ray-Ray Armstrong
WILL: Malcolm Smith vs. Reuben Foster - After setting the Gold standard for LBers with Willis Bowman and Brooks for a while, last year we were relegated to special teamers playing the position and the results showed. Time to see who takes the baton and runs with it in a pretty deep LB pool.

RCB: Dontae Johnson vs. Ahkello Witherspoon vs. Keith Reaser
Rashard Robinson looked pretty good coming in off the bench last year with very little pass rush.
Time for these guys to step up and man the other side. Is Redmon out of the running as a starter? We will see.

CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also want to see our new Elephant/Leo channel is inner (less crazy) Haley/Aldon
