i'm kinda suprised to read that friedman will be the starting center and raymer will be his backup and not the other way around. plus anyone think #35 is gonna stick with portis or will he be wearing yet another # before the season starts?

Portis will have a differnt number I think. Friedman was the starter last year at the end, so Raymer will just have to win it from him I guess. They are both solid guys.

Which center was it that couldn't do a shotgun snap, was it Friedman?

NO it was Dave Fiore when they tried to put him there. Friedman is solid at at center but he's not excatly a hog. MIght need to upgrade in future.

Besides Center which Positions do you think will have the best battles for starters? The only real big ones I can see are Quarterback , center , tight end/H-back and #3 wide out. I mean of course everyone has to earn their spots, but anyone think of any other positons where you cant really name a starter yet?

starting dt besides griffin and the nickleback spot.

also the possible battle between bowen and ohalete even though i think bowen's got the job already.

What is the possibility of an upset in the secondary? IMO Smoot is the only player in the secondary that has his position secured. As a betting man, I am willing to bet that Sean Taylor will one of the starting safties. Will Springs be the starter opposite of Smoot? Will Bowen be our other starting safty? Is it possible for one of the new CB's to start over Springs? Could Iffy O. convert and take Bowen's spot?

the only one who could come close to pushing springs is harris, but springs is, when healthy, one of the top 10-15 cbs in the league. and i see bowen and taylor being the starting safeties.

Who will start at left guard? Is Dockery ready?

i would have thought the battle for that spot would be between dockery and friedman but if friedman is starting at center then i guess dockery is the first choice at left guard.

Isn't Raymer starting at center?

Dockery is gonna be really far behind after missing this minicamp too. Like Bugel said before the last one, he needs to be in there.

Is DOckery injured?
