OK, what I want to do here is take a very unofficial poll and find out which players everyone is looking forward to seeing in action this weekend. Reply to this thread with one offensive player, one defensive player and one player that won't be in action (I'll post a list of likely inactives below) that you were hoping to see and will be disappointed to miss.
Set it up like this:
Offense: Paul Jones
Defense: Curtis Drake
Sidelined: Alex Kenney
Feel free to add explanation and elaboration for each or any of your choices. I'll tally them up and post the leaders in this thread about this time tomorrow, but we can keep it going after that.
Hope to meet a few of you at the tailgate Saturday.
Unlikely to play/out for Saturday
Mark Arcidiacono
Derek Day
Curtis Dukes
Khairi Fortt
Ryan Keiser
Alex Kenney
Brandon Moseby-Felder
Michael Mauti
Stephen Obeng-Agyapong
Shaun Phillips
Pat Zerbe

And to take it a step further, alot of my attention will be focused on the sideline watching the most intriguing figure in this game: Bill O'Brien.

+1 saw a 4:00 min video of the scrimmage yesterday and Donovan Smith engulfed Jordan Hill and drove him about 4 yards down the LOS opening a huge hole for a pulling Diffenbach who kicked out the backer clearing the hole for Redd. Farrell will not get another chance if Smith continues to block like that.

Ok, so I can't make up my mind, so here is what I want to see in no particular order:
Offense
Defense
Special Teams

So good to have a bit of football in the spring.

Offense - Jesse James
Defense - Drake and Barnes - honestly can't decide which one I want to see more.
Sidelined - SOA - likely starter unless Amos and Willis both start, which doesn't look likely right now.

Defense - Barnes
Sidelined - Kenney
On the film from yesterday, Gilliam looks ginormous! Looks like an extra OT. His footwork on pass protection and ability to block looked great.

I agree, I can't wait to see how he performs on the big stage though. Farrell has filled in and has played over the last few years. D Smith and Gress looked huge compared to the rest of the OLine and DLine.
I can't wait to see the battles against the D-Ends. I think CJ Olanyan and D Barnes could be great with some reps and game experience.

Offense: Belton (Know that we got a good starter, need a solid backup though)
Defense: Zettel (Want to see if he has the size to play inside and how the coaches use him overall)
Sidelined: Kenney (We need another weapon on offense outside of Silas)

Offense: Paul Jones and Urshel (how big is he, his weight still concerns me)
Defense: Mike Hull (see Ursh, although all the positive reviews mean a lot to me)
Sidelined: Fortt and SOA (shame they're hurt, really wanted to see the improvements and both could play key roles this year)
