Which preseason battle are you most interested in? It could be because you really like one of the players, could be because you think it has the most impact on the team, could be because you think it's the closest competition
I'm going with Rock vs Mason because it could mean the end of a "core Redskin"s career here

Rob Jackson vs. Erasmus James vs. Chris Wilson because it allowed me to vote for 'other'.
Seriously, I think that's the most critical of them all. Unless Colt Brennan vs. Todd Collins counts ;)

I think Moore and Horton both make the team. Vernon Fox is the odd man out.

That's a good one. I just don't know how much James will get to compete for that this summer. Plus, I think (hope?) Wilson is a lock

Cartwright vs Mason. They both make the squad, but who will be the #3 RB.

Gotta go with the WR battle. With both second round picks on the sideline and hindered from learning the system, the 4th WR position is critical

I'd say Chris Wilson is a lock. He's a solid outside speed rusher but situational at best as of now. I think he can learn a ton from Jason Taylor. Rob Jackson may be an odd man out, although I'm pulling for him. I think Mason v Cartwright is gonna be a good one, and the WR shuffle should be interesting. If we keep 6, I'd say Moss, El, Kelly, Thomas, and Thrash are locks, with Mann and Mix battling for the last spot...

Ummmm... I think I'll just make one up for fun. As preseason continues Jansen's decreased skill level and arthritic body become more apparent. Zorn, not having the sentimental ties w/ Jansen other coaches might, encourages Buges to work Chad R. into right tackle more and more. By Sept. 4 it's a serious question which guy will start.

Jansens decreased skill level? Ta Loca decresed skill level!!!! I mean I think Rhinehart is going to be good, but Jansen still has a few good years left. And as far as Zorn not having sentimental ties with Jansen, well aren't you forgetting about Joe Bugel? The guy who named the line the Dirtbags after taking one look at Jansen, and in turn inspired the greatest screen name of all time? If you want to include Rhinehart in a preseason battle I'd say you pit him against Kendall.
My preseason battle is probably the least inspired battle in the history of preseason battles. Brooks vs Frost. I mean Rock vs Mason is interesting but Rock is the teams KR and ST Ace so Mason needs to show that he has the potential to be a runner in this league one day. In my opinion Rock is going to make the team but it's not necessarily going to lead to Mason getting cut . Horton and Moore play different positions as far as I know (SS and FS respectively) and so far both are making a name for themselves in camp. However Brooks vs Frost is the most likely (99.999999999%) to lead to one of the two being cut before the season begins.
