    Ideally Willy will score on his first drive and then they'll sit him.

so basically it's a chance to impress for a lot of new faces. Just don't get the qbs killed, that's all I ask. 

Willy will start and I guess will get the 1st quarter but will get the yank if the Argo's front 7 becomes too hot on him.

Is the ratio enforced in preseason?  Stupid question I know, just curious if in the pursuit of evaluating talent that the rules are loosened a bit?

I'm not sure Willy even gets a full quarter. Especially behind that line. Give him a few series but let Marve and Brohm really duke er out and Portis gets a bit...

Real rookie laden, not a surprise ... interested to see Adams at corner, Gibson at DE, Allen and Waggoner at LB, D Adams and Reaves at WR, the RB's and Chungh and Goosen on the Oline.


Adams. Both of them. Richardson S Brown D Johnson and Bastien be interesting. No Gordon is interesting too.

Gordon is at wideout behind Adams.

Curious to see these guys...

- our pair of #2 overall picks - Goossen and Chungh
- trio of receivers - Adams, Tuinei and Gordon
- Jordan Reaves
- LBs Waggoner and Allen
- DBs J.Adams and S.Richardson
- DEs D.Johnson, S.Brown and Gibson (who is facing his former team)

No Bass, that's interesting.

Also looking forward to Adams, Richardson, and Allen getting out there, among others.

Ah yes, definitely Waggoner as well.

It's wrong that someone wears 97.

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 ...

I just overall want to see the defense defend the run better, the offense run the ball better (systematic stuff) and that a couple of players really stand out here and there.

Whats really confusing is that it is another Brown wearing 97.

Smart free agent move by Ivan - pick a city where minimum 1,000 fans are wearing "his" jersey at every game.  Obviously a cerebral player.

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.
