I think if Gannaway or Powell emerges, they'll be fine at RB. I like the front 7, I like the o-line much more now. Depth at corner is a big deal for me though, unless one of the safeties can fill in.
Awesome. Even as a backup he would be valuable. Let the rookies pick his brain for a year and learn how to QB that D. Would not be surprised to see Smith cut if Jimmy comes back. That would save what, like 3 mil on the cap? Definitely enough to pick up a decent RB or FS.
Personally, I'm optimistic that the change of OC and blocking scheme will be a big help to Hunter and Vlad but I'm just curious what you're referring to when you say that you like the o-line much more now? Unless RGII turns out to be a rookie prodigy our personnel on the o-line is going to be virtually the same as last season. Again, not knocking your comment, just wondering what you're referring to.

I wonder if Donnie Fletcher has a shot at the FS position. Found some really positive scouting reports, with alot saying he would move to FS in the pro's. Anyone else think he could make it?
I really like what I see out of Antonio Allen. I just can't figure out what S. Carolina was using him as. All the tape I can find on him, they have him in the box. Reads the play well, and does well shedding blocks from TE's. He will be our SS once Landry gets hurt this year. Josh Bush could legitimately start at FS. Landry is going to be our box player, and Bush playing over the top. How bout we see what in Training Camp before we say we don't have anyone at S.
