    (I got this question because I found it to be decent one.)

    So far I'm actually gonna go out on a limb and say we'll have 4 Rookie starters. Here's my list:

    J.Peppers: This one is expected

    W.Witherspoon: This has been bounced around for a while... Witherspoon is one of those guys that will win his job this year at training camp... he won't be spectacular but will be consistant... that plus youth wins him the job... similar to Towns winning the MLB job a couple years back

    D.Wesley: For starters I think Fox likes this kid... yes quite a few of you will say it'll take him a few years to develope toa starting level NFL defensive back... well if you really stop in think the majority of our defensive backs aren't considered "starters"... he's another that wins a job by busting his butt during training camp

    D.Foster: To me this one is the least like(BUT POSSIBLE) out of these three to be a starter come opening day... BUT may be one of the most talented... a LOT of this depends on his contract I believe... if he holds out at ALL he can give up any chance of being the opening day starter, but if he's in Training camp from day 1 I think he can outduel Lamar Smith for the starting job if he's in for the entire training camp.

    Other than that I don't expect to see any other Rookies except for those that will make Special Teams.

    I saw Peppers give an interview on TV last night. I hope the playbook is not very tough.

    Peppers does pretty much sound like an idiot. You woulda thought someone at Carolina would have tried to teach him how to give an interview.

    I crenge everytime I see a microphone near him.

    I think that is what I saw...I think a snipit or two is about all anyone could stand.

    Yeah, but the first few times I heard Dan Morgan speak, it came off the same way. Being a good speaker and being smart are independent of each other.

    I definately think Foster will win his job in camp, and has the best chance of getting the most playing time of all the rookies. Peppers good end up playing spot time while Foster is a fulltime starter. JMO
