The Skins One Concern

I think that Gibbs will make the right decision on Brunell, like he did last year. Im not to sure how far along Cambell is but sometimes you just have to throw a young qb in the water and see if he can swim with the big fish. It worked out for Pittsburg. Hes definately gonna have some growing pains. Look how long we waited for Pat Pansy to get over his growing pains. ............My biggest concern is our o-line, we gotta get some depth at every position on the whole line. Because last year someone got hurt and we were screwed. We had a center playin guard and our back-up tackle was 90 (love ya Ray). You should have quality back-ups at every position, but the game is won and lost in the trenches.

I think our weakest link on the team is the punting and kicking. Our punter absolutely stinks and Hall is a injury waiting to happen. I have never seen a team have as many problems with kickers as we do. I would say our line, but I think with the young guys we had last couple of years are probably good enough to fill in, plus we signed a vet backup that can play guard or center. Brunell, will actually be a little more fresh towards the end of this year as opposed to last year. He has more options at receiver, a better game plan. He will take less hits, and have to scramble less. Plus, Portis will be able to find bigger holes. Brunell will make the PROBOWL this year. Career numbers. Campbell wont play unless Brunell goes down. Which I think Campbell will do fine, but not playing if Brunell is 100%.

I agree.

Punting, I guess. I am hopeful that we won't have to punt very often this year.
O-line - With Randy out it looked pretty average at best. I wonder if Brunell's performance decline and Randy's injury were related? With a healthy Randy and Rabach.
QB - I think Collins will be the backup barring a super stellar preseason by Campbell.
Defense - I don't see a concern unless ST has to don a new monocolored uniform. They should have him make a cameo in the Prison Break series!
Running - Portis and Betts make me smile.
Receiving - they make it fun to run.
