In my last three posts, I outlined the running backs, offensive linemen, and tight ends to watch in tonight's final preseason game. Here a summary, ordered by jersey number...
#20 - Lumpkin, RB. Can he get picked up by another team?
#40 - Taua, RB. Practice squader?
#43 - Helfet, TE. Does Helfet's receiving get him a spot, or...
#45 - McGrath, TE. Does McGrath's blocking get him on the 53?
#62 - O'Dowd, C. Does O'Dowd show promise for the practice squad?
#63 - Johnson, G. Rishaw could make the 53, but an outside chance.
#65 - Omiyale, T/G. Playing both tackle and guard gives veteran Omiyale an edge.
#66 - Fanaika, G. Unless Paul really shines, this could be a last hurrah.
#78 - Barbre, T. We can use another tackle, but can he beat Omiyale?
#85 - McCoy, TE. Likely holds a spot on the team, but can he hold onto the ball?
Keep an eye out for these jersey numbers. Good play on passing downs and on special teams could help them become depth for the all-important running game.
