Trom, its good to hear he is rated good. I would think that it would be Lenon/Barnett/Thomas or Manning. But with this trade being made and giving Thomas so little time to get used to Bates D, could Diggs be the starter come week 1? I sure hopw he is ready and is not rushed back just for the sake of playing.
On the D-Line, I think KGB and Kampman are locks as starting DE's. Jackson is a lock for one of the starting DT positions. The other one, I think, is still wide open. I can see Jenkins being used there, but Bates has said he wants to use Jenkins (and likes him better) at DE. I could also see Williams starting, but the fact is he missed considerable time this TC and might not be ready yet. In that case, I would go with Cole/Peterson. I think this week of practice, and the game film, will lead to the clear cut starter as our 2nd DT. (Of course, I assume this as the only other option I can think of is that we resign Hunt to the minimum and have him start. However, TT is a smart man, and he knows Hunt didn't give him anything then, and won't give him anything now. I suggested this to my dad, and well lets just say his reaction spoke for itself. :whippin: )
