When you speak about what the team is apparently thinking i'll take me ques from the OC:

"The guy that's been standing out to me is Ladell Betts," Smith said of the running back who serves as Clinton Portis's backup. "To me, he's stepped his game up. He's preparing like he's a starter. He's taken a leadership role, which I'm not saying he wasn't a leader before, but I just think he's a very good player. He's jumped out to me.

Interesting.....so since Zorn spoke highly of Mason last night in interviews saying that he has great talent and he wished he didn't let him go last yr...does that mean he's a shoe in since Zorn is above the OC?
