Best Training Camp Battle of 2009

I picked RT fairly quickly and without too much thought and wish I could change my vote. I still think RT will be close but as a "go to the wire" battle I think the 5th WR is going to be the last decision made on cut down night and going to be the slot where the "can we find a keep the 6th as a ST guy" come into play.

LOL - just saw the tag.

I went with #5 WR, but this was a tough question. For me, it came down to the fact that I think the starting RT will be an ongoing battle until and/or unless someone clearly dominates. Meaning even if a selection is made on the last week of preseason, the "losers" are still going to be on the team, and waiting for their chance. But the #5 WR, that's more of a go/nogo situation. You either show your stuff and make the team, or you don't and you go home. For that reason, I think the coaches will have a tough decision on that position going into the last weeks of the the preseason. I almost went with Kicker, but do we have another kicker other than Suisham on roster?

As for the Starting LDE, again I think Daniels starts, with everyone else vying to prove they are the heir apparent.

i picked cb because I think the players vying are so different in what they bring. I'm hoping the competitions along the line are exciting but I don't think Jarmon or Buzzbee really stand a chance of seeing any playing time in the first half of a game this preseason unless injuries pile up.

#5 Wide Receiver. I think most people, and the FO, would like to see Marko Mitchell get it because of his size and the fact he was a draft choice. I would love to see him get it but I expect some tough competition at this position. I wouldn't be surprised if we kept 6.

I voted before I saw your post. If I hadn't read SS's rules I'd have voted for RT. I think that there will be a lot of competition at WR at camp and during pre-season. IMO RT is SH's to lose. Had he not gone down last year Jansen would've never started. SH also stepped in at LT for CS when he went down.

I picked RT only because it's been the biggest question mark of the entire offseason. Heyer goes in as the starter with all of the coaching staff's support but with a strong push by Williams he could be nudged to a backup role.

I picked RT. I feel that the more time that goes by the more Mike Williams improves.

LOL - just saw the tag.

CRedskinsRule, we have Dave Rayner (http://www.nfl.com/players/daverayner/profile?id=RAY750488) competing with Suisham.

I think that will actually be the tightest battle and will come down to Rayner nailing a 51 yarder right before halftime of the last preseason game to give the Redskins a 13-10 lead heading into the locker room.

One other one that I didn't include (but probably should have) that I think could come down to the wire is the #3 RB/KR battle. But those positions won't necessarily be filled by the same person like they have in the past (Rock)

I said starting LDE because I think it's bigger than Daniels vs. Jarmon. It's also Wynn and Alexander. And even if Daniels does win it, there's no guarantee that Wynn or Alexander makes the roster.

Alexander makes it cause of his versatility. I think that's why Evans wasn't resigned.
