For some who are vying for a backup role, this first preseason game could be a real opportunity to show exactly what they're capable of. Players like Heath and Melton come to mind. Both will get their opportunities to show what they have and it's going to go a long way towards deciding if they will be part of the 53-man roster moving forward. The same applies to Welch and Brooks, who are essentially battling to be part of the mix at the second level.We can usually look at preseason games and consider them somewhat meaningless, but this time around there are so many battles to make this roster at the lower end that it's going to create some intense play from more marginal players than I've seen for quite some years.</blockquote>
