CaptainHook Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Jamal Running over linebackers Boller throwing to Mason, Clayton, Heap Ray Lewis running down RBs Ed Reed running back TDs. Of course, I'd like it more if it where week one against the Dolts. 871676[/snapback] Dream on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Don't get me wrong, I thing Brown and Benson have much more talent, but think Arrington is in the bes position this year to make an solid impact. 871233[/snapback] This pushed my buttons a little bit (cause I a homer). I watch every televised Cal game and went to a couple home games (my father is a Cal alumni). Arrington is the real deal. This guy can run up the gut and has phenominal moves in space. What I notice about him mostly was that he is a patience runner and follows his blockers and lets the play develop. Then puts on his blazing speed and moves. Have any of you looked at his ridiculous stats from last year? 16-181, 3 TDs vs Air Force 16-177, 3 TDs vs New Mexico State 22-108, 1 TD vs Oregon State 21-112 vs USC (BSC Rank #1) 29-205, 2 TDs vs UCLA 24-135, 1TD vs Arizona 30-188, 1 TD vs Arizona State (BSC rank #19) 26-188, 1TD vs Oregon State 22-121, 1TD vs Washington 27-169, 1TD vs Stanford 31-261 vs Southern Mississippi 25-173, 1TD vs Texas Tech (BCS Rank #22) OK....I feel better now....

Chessmaster Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Just thought of something else I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing this preseason: I want to see how mini-me (Darren Sproles) can do against big-time NFL competition. If he can hold his own physically, as I think he can, he will have been a steal for the Chargers in the 5th round of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgcoach Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 (edited) I want to see how Arrington fares. I have him ranked ahead of the other rooks, in a redraft league. He's in the best position to do well. I also want to see if Brandon Jacobs has any role at all this year. I think he could turn into Moe Williams type of back. From what I've heard he's not as talented as the other rook r/bs but they have said he looks very impressive so far. They say he stays low in his pads for someone so tall and he gets through the hole quick. I also heard he cuts while in full stride and has some pretty decent speed to the outside and in open field. I didn't think he had any real speed, as that was one of the knocks on him in the scouting reports. But, I guess they say all kinds if stuff just for the heck of it. It's preseason and anything you hear you have to take with a grain of salt. Like F.Taylor is just fine and his rehab is right on track.

theeohiostate Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I would like to see how Manning(ELI) fares in his 2nd term. My gut says he won't come close to the hype and Rivers will have proven to be the best QB of the 2004 draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Score 1 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 How Skeletor shakes out his backfield. The split in carries Mad Mike Martz goes with in St Louis, between Jackson & Faulk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 As a Packers fan I'm interested in seeing if the secondary can cover anyone & if Rodgers can rise to 2nd QB. As a FF manager I'm interested in seeing which of the rookie RBs will start the season in the best position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansFan Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I'm looking forward to seeing how the Titans' rookie WRs fare in a game situation. I've heard some good things from all of them, but I want to see how they perform in a game (even if it doesn't count). I'd also like to see how Norm Chow's changes will affect the offense. With McNair healthy and in good shape, I'm waiting to see how well the offense can perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilwoman Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 As a Hawks fan I'm interested in whether anyone of the veterians can catch a ball and interested in whether Hackett gets any playing time. Of course the D and Hamlin a few people....might not see much of that in pre-season though. As far as the national scene: Mike Williams C Benson Whether Boston will be healthy enough to play How the Ricky W shakes out under Sabin Mike Anderson whether he will play much I could go on and on but those are just a few.

Guggs Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 It will be interesting to see which of the top 3 drafted RB's will stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAUgrad Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I want to see if Denver's new D-lineman are going to show anything. I want to watch Minn. and see if Bennett actually makes it through a preseason healthy. Ditto for C. Brown. QB wise, I'm interested in seeing how Harrington looks, and if Collins and Moss are going to be as good as advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I want to see how mini-me (Darren Sproles) can do against big-time NFL competition. If he can hold his own physically, as I think he can, he will have been a steal for the Chargers in the 5th round of the draft. 871697[/snapback] I also want to see if Sproles can work his magic on special teams and third down situations. The veteran players went on and on about what this guy showed in mini-camp!!! I know he's just a rookie WR, but Vincent Jackson was also mentioned by the veterans as someone whose size, speed, and strength created matchup problems for the defensive backfield and linebackers. In one interview Donnie Edwards gave him praise also for his work ethic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Scorp Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 As a Vikings fan I am interested to see if our defende really has improved...doubt if we'll see much in the preseason but we should get an indication. Also, very interested to see Troy Williamson catch a ball...we know he is fast but can he get open? AND what will the offense look like post Moss and Linehan.
