    ..........are you most looking forward to seeing in Camp? I am sure it's been asked, but probably down a few pages.

    For me, it's DeCastro and Adams. Particularly Adams, as I hope he can stay clean and keep things in order. Good talent though......

    Doesn't have to be new guys, but anyone. Other than Wallace updates, what are you waiting to read/hear about from camp???

    I was going to answer Wallace but I see you put a restriction on that, lol

    I am looking forward to seeing Adams myself. I believe he's the one player that his make or break status will have the biggest impact, as far as the rooks go. If that makes sense? 8-)

    DeCastro seems like too much of a gimmie to me so i'm more interested in Adams :)

    The Coaches/etc were impressed with DD, Adams and Beachum when it came to the run test yesterday...so thats a good sign!

    But I'm probably looking forward to seeing the new guys and such (rookies/FA's).

    The new system and the training of how to score the ball....As far as players go I am real interested in Curtis Brown.....I think he has the natural skills and with a full camp to learn the system his PT could go way up IMO.....

    Todd Haley. That's who I'm wanting to see get a hold of this offense and take us to where we should've been for the last few years. Next in line is Decastro for sure.

    I'm interested to see who is going to play opposite of Ike. I'm interested to see who will kick Foote's butt to the bench. I'm interested to see if Saunders can, potentially, replace Wallace, if need be. I'm interested...damn I'm interested in the whole team, even the camp fodder!

    Worilds was placed on PUP as he's still recovering from wrist surgery, so it may be a little while before you see anything from him.

    These two positions are pretty much the one's I'll have my eye mainly on. I also want to see if Baron Batch can live up to the expectations that some (such as me) have placed on him.

    Mike Adams- Will he be the elite LT that I think he can be?
    Sean Spence- Will he start? I believe he will by the end of the season.
    Chris Rainey- Can he be as dynamic on ST's as I'm hoping?
    Lewis/Brown/Allen- Who starts opposite Ike?

    I usually have a big preseason players to watch list, and I'll probably make that later. But off the top of my head: Curtis Brown, Cortez Allen, Mike Adams, Ziggy Hood, Cameron Heyward, Steve McLendon, Willie Colon. Most of them are for obvious reasons. To see how much Brown, Allen, Hood, Heyward, and McLendon have improved, to see if Adams looks like he can play in the NFL at LT this year, to see how Willie looks at guard (I've read he looks very healthy so I'm not worried about that). And I'll add Sean Spence, because I'm just so damn curious, and we likely won't see that much of him in the regular season on defense, so preseason will be his time to shine.

    I also am kinda intrigued by Sean Spence. I also think Chris Rainey could be a good fit in Todd Haley's offense because of the way he used Dexter McCluster who also is a big speed guy. I just wonder if that was more Romeo Crennel than it was Todd Haley.

    Lefty and Batch for sure. I think if if my memory serves me correctly that we got rid of Troy Smith already.

    How is Chris Rainey doing ttf? Also does Sean Spence stand any chance whatsoever of getting on the field at all this year?

    I don't see why Spence won't see some snaps. Probably more situational stuff and to relieve someone here and there. I could also see a game where they use him more in a sort of one off game plan based on the opponent. Similar to what we saw against NE last year.

    He just seems SO small. I'm kinda interested to see how he can fare at LB.

    Rainey's doing pretty well so far. He had a rough start on Friday with the 'Big Bertha' bag and the coaches are riding him pretty hard. Tomlin yelled "OK, 22, time to die!" right before the full contact started at practice (that was the infamous text he sent his ex girlfriend that got him in trouble with the law). He was getting lots of oohs and ahhs during drills on Friday, and had a fast run to the outside that got alot of 'whoas' from the crowd. He was also sharing punt return time on Friday.

    Coach T held him out of backs on backers drills on Sat because of his size, since he'd have to block low, and he can't do that to our guys in practice. He ran for a big gain in a scrimmage on Saturday. Many of the players are saying how fast and explosive he is.

    I think he'll see time on the field this year...how much and in what packages is hard to say right now.
    Haven't heard a lot from him yet. He broke up a pass between Ben and Pope on Friday that garnered some attention. The next day he had to sit out with a minor shoulder injury after hurting it on a passing play on Friday.I never did hear which shoulder it was (if it was the one that he's had past problems with or not).
