    It's still July, but training camp is quickly approaching. I'm getting pretty real sick and tired of typing "Matt Hasselbeck & Jake Locker" into my computer, so wanted to discuss other players at other positions.

    What other camp battles does everyone think will be worth following?

    By "nickle" you mean 3rd CB? Cause Verner will get the nickle job when 3WR-sets show up.

    McCourty will play left corner, Verner plays right, but vs 3 WR's Verner plays inside at nickle. I think the 3rd CB is Campbell's to lose.

    And Martin will be awfully busy playing DT and SS.


    Just kidding BTW, I know what you mean.

    There shall be a ton of battles. Harper has a chance to beat out Ringer for the #2 RB role. FB is an ongoing battle.

    WR of course is interesting. How healthy is Britt? Where does Wright fit in? DWill had a great year, what happens to him now that we have Britt, Washington & spent a first round pick on a WR? Does Mariani make it as a 6th WR due to return duties?

    I think Thompson has a SLIGHT chance to beat out Stevens on passing downs with 2 TE's.

    I expect Harris & Hutchinson to be opening day starters at G, so what happens at C? Does Amano stay there, move to G (Harris moves back to C) or does Amano get cut altogether for Vlachos or Velasco to win the C job?

    Wimbley & Morgan should be opening day DE starters, how much time does Douzable get at DT or DE? Who will be the 5th DE? I'm calling Egboh.

    Casey is the obvious #1 DT, but who starts next to him? Marks & Smith aren't cutting it, will Klug start or is he a liability in run defense? This is where Martin can make a strong case to be an opening day starter.

    I'd say Mccarthy & Ayers are locked in as LB starters, so that leaves Witherspoon/Brown/McRath to battle it out for the final spot, with McRath being unlikely..I say it'll be 'Spoon with Brown subbing in on passing downs.

    Mccourty & Verner are the top CB's, but who will play nickel? This is a WIDE open competition between Hawkins, Mouton & Sensabaugh, I'd say there's no clear cut favorite..Hawkins may have an edge due to his good play last year.. Perhaps one of these three play inside on 3 WR sets with Verner at nickel.. who knows!

    Tons of interesting stories to follow though :)

    I thought Hawkins (CB) played really well last year. I like Campbell's measureables, but I think I'd stick with Hawk at the 3rd CB spot. Anybody know what his 40 time is? Unless it's in the high 4.5's, I'd go with him.

    I'm most interested in the OL battles. Who's gonna be our C?

    I also wanna see how DT is gonna play out.

    Will Robert Johnson finally get some playing time?
