surprised that there aren't more concerns at special teams considering we will be breaking in a new punter and kicker and wont have one of the best returners in school history (maybe) ready to go. Also losing a long snapper.

Onewood...I like Jamaal too although I am not sure he has killer instincts and his fundamentals. He has the tools to possibly play at the next level but he will have to drill like a madman to improve his instincts/reads/reactions/tackling form.

I voted QB... the title of the article said "which position do you feel best about it." I did a double-take when LB was way out in front!

totally didn't read the question...just glanced at it. Funny from my perspective I thought we were voting on what we felt best about...so my jaw dropped when I saw linebacker way out in front...now I get it.

Hands down - my biggest concern is Linebacker. Last season's OLB were PLU size (avg. 6.05/215 and our DE's were not much bigger) and VERY raw, we lost our defensive leader and leading tackler in Cort D.
This unit should get better with maturation but I am REALLY hoping to see Josh Shirley (6-3/230/4.5) make a move to OLB and Jarett Finau (6-4/255/4.6) at this position. Another guy we might see make a big push for playing time at OLB is Evan Zeger. I saw this kid at spring ball last season and he was a specimen. Now he has a complete RS season behind him and he could be a big time player.
While many may consider the 6-2/245 Thomas Tutogi heir apparent at MLB, I look for 6-2/240 Jamaal Kearse to make a huge push for this spot. I've been watching this kid since his junior year at Lakes and I tell you, this kid is a baller.

Quarterback??? What are you guys a bunch of idiots?? Then you have limited votes on runningback...makes no sense.

Most concern about quarterback??? Really? Seems like some people didn't read the poll question and just relied on the title of the blog entry. "what positions do you feel best about"...
