Both safety spots methinks

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 05-22-2006, 05:47 PM

I'm looking forward to Greg Wesley vs. The Bonecrusher. Hicks vs. Hali will be good. I also think that if the rumors are true and Priest is done and we get Michael Bennett that will be fun to watch with him and Q-Tip. I think Q has more game than people are giving him cred for. Time will tell, but those are my top 2 and a rumor................

Printers vs Croyle is my favorite.

Fox vs Bell

Crap Thorpe vs Parker

Walls vs Battle/Hodge

**Rain Man** · 05-22-2006, 05:51 PM

I went with "Will Priest be back?" and "Who will emerge as the starting DTs?"

With the emergence of LJ, Priest has become a forgotten man pretty quickly, which is surprising given his phenomenal production. Getting him back as a third-down/goal-line/spell LJ back would be huge.

On the DT front, we've got Sims, Dalton, Browning, Siavii, and maybe Wilkerson. Am I forgetting anybody? A key to our season will be whether Sims and/or Siavii play to their potential. I'd be thrilled if the two of them earned starting spots.

**Rain Man** · 05-22-2006, 05:54 PM

I probably should've added the question of whether Kendall Gammon will be back.

**alanm** · 05-22-2006, 05:54 PM

It could be the bar fights.

What happened to that DE we drafted last year? I think his name was Khari Long.

He was kidnapped by the Bears or the Packers or someone.

Pollard looks to be a fun story to follow this year and I am glad there is even anything to follow with the QBOTF question.

htismaqe · 05-22-2006, 06:16 PM

Well, I don't think Priest will be back and I think it's a given that Walls will start.

Pollard is definitely the guy I'm watching. And if unseats anybody, it will be Knight, not Wesley.

FloridaMan88 · 05-22-2006, 06:20 PM

Printers vs Croyle... the Chiefs have legit competition between two talented young QBs for the first time in forever

The entire WR position after Kennison... should be interesting to see if Joiner can make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

The entire CB position after Surtain... who will be the #2 CB, who will play nickle, etc.

jlscorpio · 05-22-2006, 09:55 PM

I'm hoping Fox DOMINATES Bell's fat azz and sends him packin'

Ryan Sims vs. the team dietitian

Pollard vs. Knight.

And I think the continued development of Kawika Mitchell will contribute to that. If he takes over as the onfield QB (which he apparently is doing), Knight's more expendable.

Lots of things to watch at camp this year. It's exciting to know that people will be able to compete for jobs for a change. That was one of the (few) problems I had with Vermeil's way of doing things: too many jobs handed to veterans.
