Any idea how much Baxter costs? He played a year in Chicago; I wonder if that's why we picked him up (given our d-line coach)?

There's a question, I think, about how many TEs we'll keep. Maybe some are really TEs (Rasby, Baxter) but some are H-backs (Cooley, Sellars), and we'll keep 3 (4?) at each of these positions. Only if they're all considered as TEs does this seem like a lot. (Remember, there's no blocking back, really.)

I am psyched about the prospect of having a serious o-line again. I can't wait til Buges has them hitting on all cylinders. We are going to wear down a lot of teams. Also, I bet Gibbs is working very hard to figure out how to combat the "blitz all the time" D's that are so popular now in the NFL. I figure he'll keep these big TEs in, and get Coles/Jacobs/etc. open down field, and really make teams pay for blitzing (the complete opposite of Spurrier). And then we always have the H-back in the flat for a 30-yard RAC gain.

Man, is it September yet?????
