This is a pretty good indication of who has a leg up on roster spots...

ST important for 53-man considerations.
Starters on all four core units last night: Michael Thomas, Nate Stupar, Rod Smith
Three units: Russell Shepard, Ryan Connelly, Sean Chandler, Corey Ballentine, Julian Love
Two units: Scott Simonson, DeAndre Baker, Eli Penny, Paul Perkins
Hopefully Barkley watches the next 3 games.
Hey, maybe they'll both be cuts!
But based on the 1st preseason game and STs, Smith would have to be the favorite over Penny, at this very preliminary time.
You never saw anything in Perkins during his rookie year? Interesting take.
Perkins is a better receiving back. But I think Gallman's got the backup spot locked up (even before last night). I think it's Gallman, Smith, Penny and Hilliman for 1-2 spots.
For the winner in my opinion even the fumble was really
a bit freak play credit the defender for hustling but
he has to take care of the ball . I won't write him off yet
but if he coughs up the ball again then he is likely gone .
I think Perkins is a better receiver, which is important in the offensive scheme.
Let's see what he does next week
And then on one of the runs he does it, he is spinning and stomping and flailing behind the line and nobody is really near him..
I had to laugh and give it to my son for that.
