    I'm hoping that one of Lamar, Bass (not playing this week) or Allen make it extremely difficult for the coaching staff to start Hurl at MLB ...

    Weird, I just want the best player possible there.

     

     

    As do I .. but the vibe coming out of camp is such that Hurl has all but been anointed our new starting MLB (at least when you hear the staff talk about him) .. so my hope is that one of those three guys steps up and makes the decision extremely hard .. that the competition is fierce and that someone isn't being handed a starting gig because:

     

    * they had the right passport

    * they were a "name" free agent acquisition

    * the people competing for the spot crapped the bed 

     

    For full disclosure, I'm not a huge fan of Hurl.  I feel he lacks range and athleticism ..which leads to being a liability in coverage.  I also want an extremely physical MLB and feel strongly that either Allen or Bass can fill that role more ably.   That said, if he (Hurl) steps up and over performs my expectations, I'll be pleasantly surprised and will be rooting for the guy.

    Too important a position to just anoint a guy with a better option behind him, I'm hoping.

    It is strange that people are excited for Tuinei( I'll be honest I see him getting cut, but we shall see ) , and Adams, who have had shots in this league and done nothing, but Hurl is a done deal stretch of a starter.

    Strange that anyone has any opinion really I guess.

    Well why does Tuinei getting love resonate as fact, but Hurl getting love is posturing to defend a salary?

    I could easily play the card that if a guy the size of Tuinei with the college pedigree he possesses was legit, he would be on an NFL roster. Nobody bats an eye at him getting positive reviews at camp.

    It's because Hurl has a last name that reminds people of vomit.

    Every time I saw Hurl wearing that horrifically ugly Rider "signature" jersey, I thought it captured the moment perfectly.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Adams get into real game action.

    That Spartans defence is no joke, and he made plays all over. Potential game changer.

    At one point Adams was seen by some NFL scouts as a potential NFL first round draft pick.

    He appears to be a physical, athletic, competitive guy with great ball awareness. Those Spartan guys play with an edge.

    Can't wait to see him in a game.
