Stepping Up in 2009

In short, most of the young guys will at some point have to be able to play quality minutes & produce. The vets on this team, as always, are solid but not great across the board, and depth is still an issue.

Thomas & Kelly as well as JC are obvious. At some point they're gonna have to count on one or more of these guys:
Rinehart
Heyer
Fincher
Blades
Buzbee/Jackson/Wilson
Tryon

Good catch. I figured he'd be a guy they'd re-sign to a modest deal. If not him, then some other rookie or free agent is gonna have to play some significant minutes at OLB this year. Aside from Rocky, who's not known for durability, it's pretty slim pickins for that position.

I kind of want Fincher to return myself, but I do not think that the coaching staff is as high on him as we are. I am starting to believe that the only reason that he made the squad last year was due to

1. His performance in the Final preseason game

2. Lack of Depth at LB
