Could you guys see a line up of Moss, Thomas, Eloi, and either Alridge or Dorsey out of the back field in play action. Talk about match up problems according to speed for other teams.

Honestly though...I have no idea which new WR I like best and the problem is we can't keep everyone. Marko Mitchell at 6-4, Keith Eloi who I thought was tall is only 5-10 and fast, and Jason Williams at 6-5. I know its not all about being tall but we have lacked the height for several yrs and it's nice to have several to possibly pick from. Maybe Eloi can be the one to spell Moss periodically in order to keep a WR with speed on the field.

Then theres all the talent at RB and to be honest there the only person I would have a heart ache losing would be Portis. I doubt any of the ones on the squad will take over his duties unless he gets hurt so I think I'm safe there but if the rest of the RB positions are open to everyone (which I doubt happens) I'll be more excited. Betts is a good #2 but he just doesn't excite me. Rock (in my opinion) fills only one roll, KR. I would prefer the player taking on that roll to be able to fill several rolls like RB, KR, and PR. I guess if we had to get rid of either Betts or Rock then I would let Rock go and fill his roll with a change of pace back who is shifty and speedier then Betts and Portis and give him the crap rolls since he is a rookie, ie; KR, PR duties.
