I agree with the article for the most part....Jenkins, Lacy and Kuhn are probaly safe and Harris as an alternative weapon, but I can also see Amosa making it for special teams and maybe to learn from Kuhn. Unless Green or Starks just really wow the staff in camp, I can't see either one making the team. Pease showed a lot in OTA's but as I mentioned in a different thread, looking great in shorts without hitting isn't the same. I bet he makes the practice squad.

I'd pencil in Harris as a lock and erase Kuhn. No mention in the article about Ryan Taylor used as a fullback - strange.

LOTS of talent at RB. Don't be fooled.

I don't know - Im sceptical of harris ... don't think he is a shoe in; we have a lot of guys gunning for a spot. I like Kuhn but who knows maybe he gets beat out this year ... hope not.

oh the article mentioned lacey and franklin battling for the num 1 spot ... why cant we have a 2 back system? I think we might do that instead.

I'm talking about a most of the time/top priority thing - split backs rather than I with a fullback. It's basically pie in the sky, though. I really doubt they would depart so far from the norm.

Kuhn is a "hybrid" type FB anyway. It's becoming an obsolete position.
