Sporting news Preview 2006

[CChambers7284]

I bought the sporting news 2006 issue a while back, but for those of you who do not own it, it is a pretty solid preview issue.

It has depth charts for each team and next to the players name it has a red triangle for elite, green square for solid, black circle for adequate and clear circle for fringe.

Its weird because they have some solid guys as Kevin Carter and randy McMichael and others as will poole. I definitly think carter on a scale of 1-10 would be around an 8.9 while poole would be about a 7.7 or so.

I think it would be better to have something better than solid, because while McMike and Carter arent elite they are better than solid.

Here is our Team

Offense
QB Daunte Culpepper- Elite
QB Joey Harrington- Solid
FB Fred Beasley- solid
RB Ronnie Brown- Solid
RB Sammy Morris- adeqaute

Special Teams

If u look at the team, we have only one less than solid player starting and thats Donnie Spragan.

The Pats have 5 less than solid starting
The jets have 14
Bills have 9

Thats what our stregth is this season no glaring holes at any starting position.

I think once the season starts we'll see some adjusting of those designations. Some of our solid guys could move up and there's always a few who fail to meet expectations. But it is a nice place to start.

 

[Pocoloco]

Rather than the quality of each starter, I'm looking more towards depth. The linebacker postions have the most questionable depth. With the beating those guys take, it's almost a certainty that one of them will be dinged up enough to miss a game or two. Someone has to step up.

 

[Dr.Rad]

I'll veto McKinney starting

They play the game to see whose actually what. Its never as it appears on paper.
