1) Will Charles Spencer be back and, if so, as what?
I think he will be. Kubes has been giving him the play time at RG even though he hasnt gotten contact I dont think he would be giving him the reps if there wasnt a huge posibility.
2) Will Ahman Green be a June 1st cut?
Agree with the bed comment. Ahman Green is too much of a cap hit and potential threat to cut. There isnt a RB on the roster that can challenge him for starting time IMO, including Brown. Now if he gets injured this year or doesnt have a good year, bye bye 2009.
3) Does a CB tandem of Petey Faggins and Jacques Reeves have you thinking about marmalade?
Not so much. One - Bennett will start over one of them. Two - I think Faggins is better than most give him credit for.. I have no idea what his deal was last year though. Three - I think that Reeves' performance last year was a product of a scheme that didnt fit and horrible S play from Roy W., whom it arguably the worst S in coverage ever.
4) Is there anyone from this April's draft that will make an immediate impact?
Well it would be great if Brown did. Okam and Moulden have the best shot, but Okam is a first year DT which typically means no. LB is soo deep that Adibi will most likely only see his time on ST.
5) If we can hire somebody to break Kyle Orton's leg, can we trade Sage to the Bears?
I know a guy.
1. Which combination will eventually fill the FS and SS positions? Do we have reason to believe it will be something other than Earl and Brown, together again?
Demps is pretty locked in at one spot i believe. IIRC Kubes was huge on Earl last year and would love to see him play.
2. Can Brandon Frye impress Alex Gibbs enough to make Weary a back-up? Imagine, 2 Hokies on the OL!
I think the question is can he beat out Brisiel or Studdard. Weary is backup if he makes the team at all IMO.
3. Will Mario Williams build upon last year's performance or will teams neutralize him.
From all accounts so far he is going to build a scyscraper ontop of last years performance. The biggest factor is how the other DL play. The DT's had some pretty good pressure up the middle when Mario got some of those sacks last year. But Mario also dominated his guy or 2 on a couple of plays also.
4. With the addition of several LBs this offseason, who will get the most playing time (Thompson, Bentley, Adibi, Moffitt, or Richardson).
Hard one to call. With Diles as the annointed starter they are all put on the back burner. Bently has the best shot to beat Diles, but if Thompson can move down to rush we may see him more than other. Adibi get ST time this year.
5. How potent can the passing game be if we keep AJ, JJ, AD, and Matt Schaub healthy?
I would have to argure that OD is way more integral in the passing game than JJ is, baring injury. I think AJ is the key though, not that the passing game sucked last year (It was better than we have seen in a long time) but the other two are not even close to AJ in terms of what he brings to the table.
6. Now that Okoye has his rookie year under his belt, will he make the type of jump in production that Mario did in his second season? Are we prepared to have a "sophomore slump" out of last year's 1st rounder?
I hope not. Even though I believe that it takes about 3 years to develop a DL, he showed some good stuff last year, even later in the year (See Broncos Game). I am hoping there is no slump for him though, I expect to see him get better technique wise and more consistent.
