I'm really getting concerned about the number of injuries that we are sustaining during this camp. Since I have perfect confidence in the ability of Mike Cochran as strength/conditioning coach, I will attribute the damage to players fighting very hard to secure their position.
As far as starters go, I was impressed by the comments of one of our assistants this week who downplayed starting and insisted that he was looking for "finishers." I expect about eight people to shuffle in and out on the d-line, unless four start to really emerge from the pack. Same thing at wideout. Don't forget to include Disher in that group if he recovers from his injuries in a timely fashion.
Remember that we start league play early this year: the third week after two weeks of being the "punishee" and then the "punisher." The Illinois State game is the real deadline for getting all of our players back and healthy.
