	After training camp and preseason is through, who do you have winning the position battles? I'm working under the assumption that Dunta, Spencer, and Weary will not be ready on opening day. Everything else is fair game. Carry as many of one position as you like, as long as your roster doesn't exceed 53 players. Try to make it as realistic as possible, but you can always throw in a wish-list move as well. For instance, I have them cutting Ahman Green, although I don't think it's realistically going to happen. It just seems to me like we're going to have to take up an extra roster spot carrying a 4th RB if both he and Chris Brown make the team. I have all of our rookies making the roster besides Barber and Brink. It wouldn't surprise me if Barber beat out Ferguson no sheer special teams effort though. But I think he'll start on the practice squad. In my opinion, the offensive line is going to be the most interesting part. Will Brown show enough in training camp to beat out Salaam? Does Chester Pitts still have job security after last season's poor effort? Who will start at RG as Weary recovers from his broken leg? The battle for strong-side LB is going to be interesting as well. Offense: QB 1) Matt Schaub 2) Sage Rosenfels 3) Quinn Gray RB 1) Chris Brown 2) Chris Taylor 3) Steve Slaton FB 1) Vonta Leach 2) Jameel Cook LT 1) Ephraim Salaam 2) Duane Brown LG 1) Kasey Studdard 2) Chester Pitts C 1) Chris Myers 2) Chukky Okobi RG 1) Mike Brisiel 2) Rashad Butler RT 1) Eric Winston 2) Brandon Frye TE 1) Owen Daniels 2) Joel Dreessen WR 1) Andre Johnson 2) Andre Davis 3) Kevin Walter (in the slot) 4) Jacoby Jones 5) David Anderson Defense: CB Fred Bennett Jacques Reeves Antwaun Molden Demarcus Faggins (I know, I know... But he'll be a back-up nickel CB) Dexter Wynn FS Will Demps Brandon Harrison SS Glenn Earl C.C. Brown Nick Ferguson LB DeMeco Ryans (MLB) Morlon Greenwood (WLB) Xavier Adibi (SLB) Kevin Bentley Chaun Thompson Zach Diles DE Mario Williams Earl Cochran Anthony Weaver N.D. Kalu DT Amobi Okoye Travis Johnson Frank Okam Anthony Maddox DelJuan Robinson Special Teams K Kris Brown P Matt Turk LS Bryan Pittman

	I am kinda throwed right now after celebrating the Rockets game 5 win so I aint got it in me to post this much info. Thanks to you Nash for your nack for posting some great threads. I will say that as I read down the list I got really excited when I saw this..... TE 1) Owen Daniels 2) Joel Dreessen WR 1) Andre Johnson 2) Andre Davis 3) Kevin Walter (in the slot) 4) Jacoby Jones 5) David Anderson If our line can give us a respectable running game I think with Steve Slaton as a 3rd down back we will have sick speed and hands on the field, spreading the D to cover the whole field, 50 yards deep and 3 yard dump passes along with the middle of the field. I am so excited to see what young Kyle Shanahan has in his bag in his first year on the mic. I am sure him and Gary gone do some special things with our "O". Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!4 more months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	I really like everything you got up there. We just have to stay healthy this season, especially Andre Johnson and Matt Schaub. And I con only hope that Andre Davis will pick up right where he left off. I think the most interesting competition is going to be the whole secondary fighting for their starting positions.

	I have a few clear changes from what Ive seen and heard. RB 1)Ahman Green(Hes the guy until he gets hurt.) 2)Chris Taylor (I think he will jump over Brown) 3)Steve Slaton (Slaton will be the 3rd down back) 4) Chris Brown (I doubt he makes the final roster.) LG 1) Chester Pitts (Why would Studdard jump Pitts?) 2) Kasey Studdard C 1) Chris Myers 2) Chukky Okobi RG 1) Mike Brisiel 2) Rashad Butler (I could see Studdard Moving to the rigth side) Defense: SS 1.)CC. Brown (CC Holds on to this job I think) 2.)Glenn Earl 3.)Nick Ferguson LB DeMeco Ryans (MLB) Morlon Greenwood (WLB) Zach Diles (SLB) (Zach will win this job and excel. This guy is gonna be a stud) Kevin Bentley Chaun Thompson Xavier Adibi PS: Damn I hate the formating on this message board. What a mess. Sorry for the extra spaces between some players. I have no idea how they got there or how to get rid of them.

	Why would Studdard jump Pitts? He's quicker. Remember, Gibbs is going to be looking for a certain type of player. And Pitts, originally drafted to play LT, just doesn't have the quickness to get it done. And after an underwhelming effort last year, he's going to be fighting for his job. I'm not sure if Studdard is at the point yet to take over, but I think it's inevitable. Kubiak did say last year that he thought he'd be a long-time start eventually. It's just a question of how quickly he can adjust.
