Just bored and thought Id give a brief write up on what im expecting and wondering :)

QB- Im not sure if Daunte will see any time but I really hope he does, not because I dont trust Harrington but because I dont want his first game situation to be vs Pitt in their home stadium. Im also wondering if Harrington is doing as bad as all the reports say

RB- Ronnie Brown is the #1 no suprise, but Id like to see if Travis Minor can push Morris for the #2 spot, Minor was always a good Backup to Ricky he just wasnt made to be an every down back

WR- The #3 WR spot, Hagan, Welker, or Campbell will be the man most likely unless someone really lights it up, Campbell seems to have the inside track as of now but Im going to predict Hagan and Campbell share the spot depending on certain plays and formations

TE- McMichael is a top TE but we really need to see what we have behind him...what if he goes down? Im a Teyo Johnson fan but we have heard nearly nothing of him so far, hopefully he can be a solid backup

O-Line- I want to see them in for extended minutes....I know you dont want guys getting hurt but the new additions really need to get on the same page and gel

D-Line - Manny Wright and Matt Roth....simple as that, hopefully they will step up and prove to be a valuable part of the D-line rotation

LB- Hodge has all the tools to be a starter but his head isnt in the right place....Spragan played very well filling in for Zach at times last year, and Newman should bring something good to the table for us

Secondary - I want to see some extended minutes for these guys to, Again you dont want anyone hurt, but we are almost brand new in this area and they really need to gel some

Kicker- Can mare go back to what he was 2-3 years ago? I dont think he has been bad the last couple years but I know he can be better

Punter- Can Donnie continue what he did last year or will he fall of the face of the earth?

KR- Campbell and Welker should be fighting for the kick return duties, Welker has better vision, Campbell has game breaking speed, so we will see what happens

PR- Welker has this one in the bag IMO, he isnt the fastest but he makes great decisions

Well thats what im looking for, the record wont matter to me so much as how we play and what we prove we are capable of, how the starters gel etc

What are you guys looking for?

Nailed it pretty well there. I may get trashed for this but I want to see what Marcus does. Also the Aro-whatever guy that we already signed at WR should be in the WR chase. I am interested in seeing if Vickerson can pick up where he left off as well. He was really getting some high praise before those POS cheapshotting Falcons got ahold of us.

Im interested to see Marcus to, I think he will make the practice squad, or possibly make it in as the 5th WR for trick plays, he just didnt really fit anywhere in there and I didnt want to make it TO long because then people tend not to read

I heard Saban praising Joey Harrington for how smart the kid is, but didn't hear any bad news.
During the first mini camp some one reported he didn't look to good. I didn't hear anything bad the rest of the minis or anything though.

Ive heard a few reports that he wasnt grasping the offense correctly, one from PFT and a couple from people here who attended a few practices, but I dont know if they are true or not of course

Thanks for the info. I may take a little longer for him to catch up with Daunte and even Lemmon because they have been in the system somewhat before. I will worry if he don't get by the 2nd or 3rd preseason though.
 
I want to see everyone get out alive. No injuries!

I'm with you guys on the secondary. Let's see how Poole comes back from the injury. LJ needs to stand out. We need #8 upright this season...

One more thing

Im looking for Aromashodu (sp) to make an impact in some way, the kid has skill

I like Aromashodu as well. He has a real up side and will probably compete for Bookers spot in a year or so...
 
I wanna see all the rookies plus Roth and Manny....of course we all wanna see Daunte and Joey.....I also wanna see how the nes guys in the secondary do, specially the Allen boys.

Ozzy rules!!
 
Will Kay Jay Harris challenge for the #2 instead of Minor? How close is Will Poole to being back? Has Harrington got a better grasp of the system? Is Manny seriously comitted to football over food?
 
You summed it up well. Honestly, im putting most of my attention on mare/jones though.
