Kind of an oddball question, but I believe the success of this defense will lie in the trenches. Paulie G. needs to ensure a rotation, even if that means replacing top talent at times, to prevent wearing down his guys at the end of the season. My question is what are you seeing out of Pat Sims, Brandon Thompson, Devin Still, Hardison, and Peko? It appears one of them wont make the club, but which one? I think they would likely keep 10 here if all 10 are healthy at the start of the season, and the DEs would be Dunlap, MJ, Gilberry, Hunt, and Clarke. I have heard grumblings about Pat Sims conditioning, but the guy is a proven player whereas Still and Hardison have that "P" word. I also think Brandon Thompson, when healthy, is one of the most underrated players on the team.

How do you see this group shaking out? I know it is very early, but is there an early leader board?

And THANK YOU for your follow up and training camp updates. It is very much appreciated.
