Our backfield battle will be interesting to keep an eye on:
-Of course there's Perine and Kelley
-But Gruden said he wasn't counting Matt Jones out... I don't know what he's seeing that we're not...
-I want to see Chris Thompson out there as our 3rd back
-And we tend to forgot about Mack Brown who has shown some flashes!
Our secondary will be exciting too:
-I want to see Swearinger and Cravens at safeties, but Everett has some potential, don't count him out
-Will Will Blackmon stay at FS or move back to CB ? If he does I see him as our nickel CB but could he compete against Moreau and Breeland for his share of snaps on the outside?
-How will late picks Joshua Hosley and Montae Nicholson adapt to the NFL? Could they steal Quinton Dunbar's roster spot ? I like the guy a lot...

Junior I expect to start if he is healthy, just right now I can't in good conscious put any faith in him until I see him on the field.

Phillips sucks so I hope anyone can take his position and I don't see why Blackmon would switch back at this point in his career

I meant Quinton Dunbar, I know their names don't sound similar at all but I mix them up all the time...
I could see Blackmon switching back because he went to safety at a time we had nobody there, and now that we have some legit safeties, he could go to his original position, couldn't he ?

With CB being the deeper position, I don't see him going back there full time

Mack Brown and Keith Marshall could both compete for a job this year, IMO. They both have breakaway ability and Marshall has outstanding speed. I expect the RB competition to be intense and exciting.

Probably a guy that Gruden and McC didn't see eye to eye on.
