What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
I think this year's team is the strongest across all the position groups, but training camp is still time for some players to rise and shine while others go fall down towards the cutting floor.
What positions intrigue you the most? Where do you see room for a depth rookie to take a roster spot? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/t...n-fitzpatrick/ Safety Battle: Offensive Battles: |

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
Many.
First Oline…LG and RT. Flowers and Cosmi have the edge but Schweitzer & Charles could battle at LG as well as Lucas at RT. At LB, Bostic vs the Rook at middle. Hudson at Weakside is a surprise early call from me if Rook win the Mike spot. Second TE should be interesting. FS could get interesting with a log jam at SS… The last spot at WR, backup Defensive end

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
If St. Juste can start at 1 of the outside CB spots in nickel defense, that's gonna be huge for the team's flexibility.
Hopefully 1 of the 7th round picks can stick as the 4th DE.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
That would be awesome. I get giddy thinking about a 6'3" stud corner. A huge weapon. Him and Jackson could be bigtime.

RT - Lucas v Cosmi
Im not leaving out the possibility Lucas wins the LT spot but I dont think Leno has played RT like Lucas has, so Im assuming Leno gets LT if they play equal to each other. LG - Flowers v Schweitzer Flowers is getting paid starter money but Phins didnt blink in making him expendable. I think Schweitzer had a better year last year but didnt watch too many Phins games. Injuries throughout season, Id expect Leno/Lucas/Cosmi/Flowers/Schweitzer to all have starts and snaps. Holcomb v Bostic in Nickel I imagine Jamin Davis will be a lock by like week 3 in nickel and all packages, battle to see who plays beside him in our most used defensive package. |

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
I agree about the oline having some good competition. Love how Rivera intends to have maximum competition for all units/spots.
I think running back could have some good battles after Gibson. Hoping Patterson gets a real chance. Also we'll see what we have in Barber, Mckissic, and Miller. The whole team just needs to bring out the best in one another. Expecting a pretty intense camp as this team knows it should be improved and contend. |

I think they are all interesting. It’s nice to finally have a ton of competition across the board.

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
If Bostic is competing for a starting role in the nickel defence then things aren't going as well as planned..... Don't forget about Saddiq Charles, they had him starting at LG last year as a rookie ahead of Schweitzer, can also serve as the primary backup at LT

I think RR has Charles > Martin. Important TC for Martin. Bostic -- I think the coaches value him more than the fans. I think hes a more head down, hit the hole hard type backer that Holcomb isnt. Holcomb and Bostic just have different skill sets and what they bring. Ideally Holcomb and Bostic wouldnt be starters on our D. |

Re: What Training Camp battles intrigue you the most?
Im very intrigued/excited to see the WR corps. Easily the best unit weve had since 2016 (Jackson, garcon, Reed, Doctson, Grant).
McLaurin and Samuels are elite. Rookie Dyami Brown is supposed to have top end speed and D Jackson like ability to track the deep balls. Adam Humphries as a move the sticks, work underneath, get open guy. Cam Sims, Harmon and AGG hopefully can contribute. Gonna be a fun season. |

Good call about LB competition in nickel packages. I was high on Bostic 2 years ago but last year he was a mess, I was hoping we sign somebody else...
