Let's Play Who Should Be the Starter?

skin4Life28 · 08-20-2004, 06:37 PM

Lets play who should be the starter. First question is, H-Back/TE? Do we go with a young solid player in Chris Cooley or go with the experience? 2nd question is, MLB, I like Mike Barrow, but I feel Kevin Mitchell has never gotten a true shot with us, and when he is in he is a force. Just a couple of questions. Fell free to ask your own.

Interesting. You started with one of the toughest decisions and one of the easiest. I hope Cooley makes it to #1, but we're a couple games away from finding out if he can. I don't think the MLB spot is even close. If Barrow is healthy, he will be there at the start of the season. I would have liked Mitchel over Trotter the last 2 years, but not over Barrow.

I would say Rasby mostly because he is a real good blocker and without Jansen we need all we can get and a rookie won't be the answer, like Dockery last year. As for the MLB situation, I was satisfied with Mitchell being the starter when Trotter left (although I do think Trotter is going to have a big year) but I also think Barrow is an upgrade from both of them at least for about two years or so. Anyone else thinking Scott has a shot at beating out Jacobs? I know he was a high pick but Scott has had a great preseason and could be a great cheap pick up for special teams or depth. I hope we at least send him to NFL europe. Also I would like to see my man Nic Clemons get some time!!!

Mike Barrow is a "shoe-in" for the starting MLB position. He has proven year in and year out that he can perform. I think Mike Sellers was penciled in as a starter for the H-back position, but he's been injured. I too want to see Cooley make it as #1. Even though he only caught 2 NFL passes so far, he made them look easy. Cooley also seems deceptively faster than people expected. In my opinion, the most difficult decision is who's going to be our #2 and #3 WR and who will be the #2 RB. I would like to see McCants as our #2 and Taylor as #3...but, Taylor is a question mark. I also like McCaullough as our #2 RB. His performance from last year and this year's pre-season looked impressive.

OK, HBack and TE are 2 different positions in Gibbs Offense. Rasby will be starting at TE and Cooley is listed as a HBack along with Sellers and Kozlowski.

My vote is Cooley - Hback
Rasby - TE
Barrow - MLB

Who do you think will start at Center, I think Raymer is got a edge now.

Center should go to whoever can get the exchange done without a fumble.

Mattyk · 08-21-2004, 11:34 AM

I think we're going to see a rotation at the h-back spot with Cooley and Kozlowski both playing significant roles.

Barrow once healthy is definitely the clear cut starter at MLB.

SmootSmack · 08-21-2004, 11:39 AM

I agree Matty

Who starts at defensive end? Wynn and Upshaw? That's my feeling. I think Daniels comes off the bench and is used at both DT and DE

Big C · 08-21-2004, 11:42 AM

Daniels was supposed to have looked good. im thinkin Wynn and Daniels will be the starter, but Upshaw will play a lot because he has a high motor. Wynn is a blue collar player, thats why i give him the start. Daniels is strong, and has put up big sack numbers.

Mattyk · 08-21-2004, 02:36 PM

I think it's Daniels starting with Wynn coming off the bench on 3rd downs, but with Williams who knows, I expect we'll see alot of rotating up front.
