Most of the position battles you gave us at the beginning of the preseason appear to be unresolved heading into Thursday’s game. I know it is not your call, however, are there any position battles where you’re ready to declare a winner?
-- Bill Dunn
No, for exactly the reason Bill stated. It’s not my call. But I also think a lot of them remain unsettled, such as the kickoff and punt return jobs and the third running back position. Clearly, Mike Boone has demonstrated he has the goods to play in this League. But Ameer Abdullah, while not as productive as a runner this preseason, has also demonstrated he can help in a variety of ways on special teams. So I’m not comfortable saying one of them is in and one of them is out; they could both be in. Ultimately, it’s the coaching and personnel staffs who will make these choices and another thing to remember is that not every choice is an absolute one. Sure, we may be looking for the team to declare a WR3, but the reality is they are going to keep five or six receivers and WRs4-6 will be asked to contribute in the same way WR3 is asked to contribute.
