man, you should just say you were listening to the radio...don't envoke his name, it only gives him more power/weight/pickup lines for the girl

maybe both brandons make it and barber gets left out? those 3 seem pretty interchangeable at this point as none of them have played a down...

earl may be an x-factor this year. his age has him in the prime of his career and coming off the injury/competing for time may step up his game. saying demps isn't set in stone may be accurate, but gives the wrong impression (i guess i'm taking into account who said it) i think he's the closest to a lock for starter of any safety we have.
I'm not too worried about him hogging all,or any women for that matter.

Barber could hit the PS rather than the roster, but I really dont see our staff flat out cutting a draft pick from this year, especially a pick that is working out as well as the reports say. Our staff does an excellent job of scouting and to that end they have to believe that even minor issues with a player or over depth at a position are no reasons to cut a fresh pick.

Demps can only lose his starting job at this point. I dont think we have a player with the talent level to rise above the talent and exp that Demps has. He hits good, tackles ok, is pretty good in coverage, and without his bionic arm I expect more int's from him this year. Not all probowl voting is about the most popular players, and Demps landing as an alternate really shows something.

I know that Earl was highly touted by Kubes going into last year. I kind of expect him to start over Brown this year. At this point it is a matter him proving it, which I think he will by the end of TC.

I would like to know the reasoning for the thought of keeping Mithchell over Harrison. The only reason Harrison didn't make the active squad was because Stanford students got out late, so he couldn't attend OTA's, and then missed part of TC because of graduation.

Of course Rhoades must be grinning all over with all of the bodies he has to work with this summer.
We have'nt head hardly anything about Harrison. There isnt anything to say that he would have made it farther than PS last year had he not been stashed on IR. He could be quietly knocking the socks off the coaches right now, but Kubes did make comments about Mitchell and how well he is performing and how he liked the kids spirit after being on the PS last year and stepping up his game to compete this year.
