Jansen is fine going forward on running plays but his lateral movement makes him look like he's got ankle weights on. They are going to have to help him on passing plays.

Frost vs Brooks is the only real battle going on to me. I don't think Rock's job is in serious jeopardy.

Dgreen101 · 08-09-2008, 02:28 PM

Colt Brennan vs. Todd Collins seems like the best match-up right now, even if it's not for a starting position.

I also went with Frost/Brooks. One has to go, and it seems to be the subject of many blogs.

If you ask me after Saturday night when Colt played 2nd stringers we can now see why he was there in the 6th round. I hope he does great and could some day challange for 2nd string but its not happening this year.

I think it's Brooks v. Frost. And it will be a close one at that.

Mason v. Rock, don't see it. Unless Mason clearly overwhelms and has a few eye opening performances, I don't see him making the team. Even if Mason is slightly better than Rock this year, Rock still makes the team.

As far as Chad, I think it's possible the staff would eventually have him take over for Pete Kendall not Jansen. Maybe this is just me, but I think Chad could be our replacement for letting Dockery go a couple of seasons ago. By the by, let's keep an eye on D.Docks tonight.

I had to go with the punters. It's the only battle for a starting job... all the other battles are for the last roster spot at the position.

That Guy · 08-09-2008, 03:47 PM

right now punter is the only real battle, but i mean, i'd be shocked if the rookie didn't get it. we got a steal on him.

skinsnut · 08-12-2008, 01:33 PM

I went with Frost/Brooks because in my opinion, it is the only legitamate battle listed that is close

Rock will stay...if Mason makes it they wont cut Rock
Horton has a huge leg up on Moore...so thats not that close.
Mann and Toler are cuts, Mix is likely cut too....as well as McMullen....only he has a shot in my mind.

Okay artical on McMullen v. Mix

Is there any affiliation between warpathinsiders and thewarpath?

Scout.com: Mix vs. McMullen

there are actually a few good battles going on. JLC's latest blog raises concerns w/C. Wilson. I think he has a point. Wilson was just an outside rusher last year, didn't even have an inside move really. I hope he makes it but DE is crowded. (funny to say that after all of us saying we needed to draft DEs for the last few years).

The wr & safety spots are crowded too. I don't know about Jansen losing his starting job by the first game, but I can definitely see it happening by mid season. I don't think Heyer is really ready for it though. It may depend on where they want to plug rinehart in if they're that comfortable w/him. I can see him taking kendall's job too, as was mentioned earlier.

dmvskinzfan08 · 08-12-2008, 10:30 PM

I think Rock vs Mason. But something is telling me that they are going to keep both of them. I know its only preseason but I like what I see from Mason and the Rock is a rock on special teams. But saying that I just think Mason has "it" and I listen closely to every press conference Zorn has and he has been talking highly of Mason right now. But if Devin Thomas is healthy I think you need to watch out for him as a returner. Just a thought.

prinzeofmoval · 08-16-2008, 11:47 PM

Colt vs Collins is the biggest one because when the stars, planets and moons align Colt will be our guy.
