Which do you think is the more likely to be replaced? I'm thinking Schilens but i'm not very confident in that.

I hope we give Schilens 'one' more chance, when healthy he can go straight in and catch a fair few passes.  Johnnie Lee Higgins is on his way out for sure, looked great about 3 seasons ago returning punts and making a few nice catches.  Always thought that huge hit he had against San Diego the following year (Week 1 was it ?) he never seemed the same after that, deer in headlights kinda thing.

Nick Miller must also be gone, never was a fan of him, didnt seem to know how to fair catch and made me nervous everytime. 

Reading up about some of those rookie WR's they sound promising specially that USC guy whos a freaky size.  Not the most exciting draft but seems solid and sensible.  Next year is the exciting one with all these QB's i keep hearing about.  Would be great if we got Andrew Luck (Who seems to be mentioned as the next Peyton Manning) but probably impossible unless we have a total nightmare season.

JLH's greatest contribution to the NFL was the 'Carlton Banks' revival.

I'm a little worried that Bruce Campbell and Joe Barksdale failed to beat out Cooper Carlisle and Khalif Barnes for their spots at RG and RT. The latter two would be backups at best on most O-Lines in the league. Just how raw are these rookies?

Barksdale is a project for the furure and Campbell was "dinged" but I'm hopefull that with a bit more time he will be able to step up.

Yeah i thought Campbell stood a chance to get the RG spot.  I reckon next year as Carlisle is on his last legs.  Either way Campbell seems to have progressed a ton as last year seemed a waste as he was injured/never given a chance. I've watched him on a few series this preseason and he does seem to have a nasty attitude.

Barksdale looked 'okay' not ready to start yet but has potential for the future.  Near year i reckon both Barksdale/Campbell will start.  I'm just worried about Khalif Barnes starting at RT !
