Best Training Camp Battle of 2009

[SmootSmack]

This isn't a poll about which camp battle you're most excited about or which you think is the most important one. This is a poll about which one you think will be the most competitive and most likely to come down to the wire before a decision is made.

3rd CB/Nickelback-Barnes, Smoot and Tryon

Off topic/ I hope that the starting RG spot becomes a competitive battle between-Bridges, Rinehart and Thomas

#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 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.

This was close between nickle corner and RT for me. Very close. Clicked cb.

based on smoots regulations, recievers has to be it. four receivers are guaranteed a spot with roydell, marko, and hagans left. those three all bring something different to the table. it really depends on what zorn is looking for. experience? roydell. height? youth? marko. versatility? hagans.

I chose RT. Although I think they feel now that Stephon Heyer is the guy I think once Mike Williams starts playing he's gonna make it interesting, especially since he's getting so much attention and everybody wants to see him succeed.

Haggans is only 5-10. News pundits are starting to talk highly of Trent Shelton 6-0. You also forgot Jaison Williams 6-5 who looked good and impressed in camp. Then you left out Keith Eloi 5-10 who also impressed and has speed similar to Moss. Just pointing out.

I picked RT. I know Heyer has been named starter but they didn't hire MW to simply see if he could be a story book and with Buges I think they want him to start if he can.

The sad fact is I'm happy we finally have more Lineman on both sides in case of injuries but we can't keep them all. Then I like all the new WR talent but again we can't keep them all. I'm excited to see all the RB's and hope one of the faster guys; Dorsey, Alridge can beat out either Rock or Betts, but again we can't keep them all. There's a lot of nice talent so I know I will be upset with some of these guys being let go whether they are Vets or Rookies.

Jaison Williams (along with Derek Walker) was cut today.

I said RT. I pray that this is correct.

I think that receivers may sort themselves out in terms of clearly different levels of performance for the most part.

I pray that at RT everyone will have performed quite well, making them to be about equally good, thus making the decision for the week 1 start a difficult one. If this situation occurs, RT will not be the problem that many fear.

In the words of Johnny Carson..."I did not know that." Thanks.

lol based on what? Camp hasn't even started yet, I'm not sure we can pencil anyone in at the #5 spot just yet.
