I've heard that Noble is making a good showing so far, but haven't heard squat about Cliff.

Noble has looked pretty good. He is getting in the reps and I haven't seen him limping or getting pushed around. To be honest, he doesn't look much different than he did last year at this time (well, except for the 25 pounds he lost shaving and getting his hair cut).

As far as Cliff, he has also looked the same as last year. He's a bit erratic. He has that awesome speed. When he shifts into overdrive it is unbelievable. If only he could do that with a defender on him.

Not with two already on the team...Morton and Thrash. He's a longshot to make the team. Plus Cloman is playing well.

I want to see some more of Russell, if Coles is out maybe he's our guy to stretch the field.

Actually three if you count John Simon, who was a decent return guy for the Titans... I would worry about him back there. I haven't seen the right things from him to be willing to put the game in his hands.

Theoretically, yes, so long as he develops some hands to catch the ball. I see Coles playing the whole year again. As for Cliffy, we need to cut our losses, and let someone else have a whirl at trying to make the team.

Jansen Fan, good joke about the 25lb weight loss for Noble. :lol:

I'd be suprised if Russell made the team, and shocked if he saw playing time. We are just too deep at this position. If Coles does go down, I'd rather see Thrash as the guy who will stretch the defenses for us.

I hope Cloman makes the team over Russell:

hahaha...Spurrier III, i like that XFL joke...but jokes aside, it's no way Russell will make the team over Cloman. Russell does not have the fundamental asset that recievers need which is "Hands"..We all know about his blazin' speed, we've been knowin that for the past couple of years..but we also know he just doesn't use his speed well as a reciever at all..(sorry to say)
