1) With everything that is happening with the WR corps (great camps thus far from the Big 3 of Williams/Smith/Malone, emergence of Byrd/Johnson, Jennings better than expected health, etc) would you say that you feel better about that position than you did when camp started?
2) Expanding the question to the passing game more generally, would you say that 1) Croom has exceeded your expectations in terms of how much he can contribute there, and 2) that Kamara is likely to see real snaps in the slot, either starting there or motioning out of the backfield (from a 2-back set with Hurd or into an empty back scenario)?
3) Somewhat recruiting related, but would you say that the most recent (c/o 2016) examples, albeit just one week into their first fall camp, of some more under the radar recruits (e.g., Johnson, Niehaus) make you feel better about the staff's taking 2017 guys like Jacquez Jones and Jordan Tucker?
4) Is Charles Fogler a guy who they might play at DT in games like App State and Ohio to save rotation DL for even 5-10 snaps in those kind of games?
5) Haven't heard much on Osborne...how's he looked?
6) Finally, knowing what you know about both Shoop and the respective talent/depth at all 3 levels, how do you think Shoop is going to try to leverage the potentially buck nasty pass rush from the DL? That is, do you think he'll do less blitzing because we should be able to get pressure with 4? Do you think he'll blitz more because the talent in the secondary will allow him to take more chances with fewer pass defenders? Do you think he's more likely to give JRM/DK rest at LB because the drop off at LB will be masked by said buck nasty DL and secondary? And so on...
