Re: An early look at potential camp battles.

Bleacher has Royster, J.Pugh, Gomes, A. Gettis and A. Robinson on the bubble. I am unsurprised by Royster, Pugh or Gomes and would not be surprised if none make the roster based on last year's performance, the crowd at their positions and this year's draft (when they pick two guys at your position - a message is being sent).

Gettis - I had hopes for him based on his pedigree and his draft reports. But, his reviews never seemed to stand out, never heard any one say that he was impressive or stood out (unlike LeRibeus for example). He may get a pass this year or he may just be the next Eric Cook. I thought he might have a leg up on Mo Hurt, but am now thinking it might be the other way around as Hurt can play tackle and guard.

Robinson - agree with Bleacher Report, he is pretty much a one trick pony. I would bet he makes the roster over Henderson or Stallworth but it would be a tiny, tiny bet.[/QUOTE]

Royster-Definitely on the bubble. His best bet is either they keep 2 FBs and he stays on as a backup to DY. Or Helu gets hurt again, they don't sign another veteran, and decide they need to have a vet other than Morris in the backfield roster,

Pugh-I like him, think he stays at least early on in the season

Gomes-Unless he totally beasts on special teams this summer and proves indispensable there, he's gone

Gettis-Practice squad

Robinson-Needs to improve his blocking, and not just be a speedster. I think bringing Henderson (a speedster who blocks) in was a message to Robinson. But Shanahan loves him and he's likely to stay
