Ricky Brown was kickin before the injury. He had some serious sideline to sideline speed and could follow runners in traffic.Originally Posted by Tha Rizzock
Ekejiuba is a solid ST and good LB depth.
Bing - I'd keep around to see more of his skill sets and potential.
Miller is a solid TE. When Maryland needed a blocker, he was the one, not Vernon Davis. He was great in short yardage situations in run blocking or a change up to pass (has good hands).
If you want to see how well the development of these projects is coming along, just see how often they are on the field! that will give you your best determination how far along they are. If they never see the field chances are they haven't quite measured up!

"Al Davis thought all owners were dilettantes with a new toy. He said to me many times through the years that owners are often the problem with their franchises, that too many of them think they can run things when they cannot, and the teams that succeed are the ones where the owner hires the best people he can and turns the game over to them."

If we applied strict financial terms to football players - the position that they were drafted, the money they have already been paid would be termed a sunk cost.
Football is not quite the same because the capital expedniture is spread out to future years which makes cutting a player an expensive future proposition.
But if Gallery does not show progress this year then you have label the guy a bust and think about trading or releasing him.
There should be no excuses for him this year.

What if he looks great in camp then gets a bad injury?
It would be worth at least resigning him for less if he shows some potential.
LB spots should be hotly contested outside of Howard and Morrison.
What are the chances Kiffin puts Bing back at SS?
That's a good question on Bing. I still don't see him as a quality SS in the NFL though. His lack of deep cover ability and getting lost in open space doesn't bode well for a SS. Plus, Huff did his thing a year ago limiting TEs in man coverage and made a few plays around the LOS. IMO, Bing would be better used closer to the LOS and let him do what he does best. He is fierce at attacking the LOS and hitting people. Going man or reading/reacting in deep zone aren't strengths for him but we will see.
Kelly as in Tommy Kelly?
The same Tommy Kelly that Bill Belicheck once said was our best Dline player?
Couldn't be, but I will say, he's a much more effective DE, than DT.
That's what I was thinking.
Hey Neo, didn't we get into up in the Premium forum regarding Kelly as a DE vs a DT last summer?

The success of the wide receivers could be quite important here. If we could just get one out of McFoy, Watkins, Buchanon, James, Holland and Higgins to come through and be productive we'll have done a good job. I'm quite optomistic that we'll get at least one, maybe two from that group.
Imo Madsen who was on the original list I posted, can be a decent receiver for us more regularly too...with Wakefield coming back to take his place as a TE.
Josh Shaw and Chris Morris are players some people have said could come through this season. Reshard Lee kind of impressed me when he had a few games in 06, good hands out of the backfield, Echemandu obviously had a very good preseason and seemed a good system fit too.
I think we can say we did good jobs with Ekejiuba, Madsen and McQuistan to make them contributors, at least on ST's. Failed with Hawthorne, Huntley and Adkisson.James Adkisson

Man, that is a trailer full of garbage on that list right there...potential ususally means you're no good..
I do, however expect great things from Michael Bush..The only HALF he played in his Senior Year, the guy had like a hundred something yards and 3 TD's...

I expect Tyvon Branch won't have a great deal of trouble making the team, but who emerges from this bunch of Receivers should be interesting...presumably there will be 3 slots available after Walker, Curry and Carter.
