Reserves Take Center Stage
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007I know, I know, there is still Thursday night’s preseason finale to tend to. But I’m ready to get the regular season going. Since the starters won’t play against the Cardinals, it won’t feel like a real game.
It’s still an important game for the players who have one final opportunity to make a positive impression. But realistically, how many roster spots are open? I can’t believe it’s a large number at all.
Of the reserve players, there are a few who have me at least intrigued, if not excited.
One of those guys is wide receiver Brian Clark. He has shown the ability to make plays, he doesn’t seem to be afraid to go over the middle, he has shown improvement, and — while this may not count for a whole lot — he seems like a really neat guy. Javon Walker, Brandon Marshall, Brandon Stokely, Domenik Hixon and maybe Clark, maybe Quincy Morgan, maybe both are on the roster for the season opener against Buffalo.
