They bring officials to camp every year to explain new rules, so that will be something I can ask about.<BR/>I would actually give Ryan Clark or Townsend the green dot if Farrior isn't going to do it, but likely Clark, since he's got everything in front of him on every play. Troy would be a possibility as well.<BR/>And yes, it is a possibility that Foote is pushed to the bench this year and starts next season if they can't work something out with FarriorDale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-21641023063566890282008-07-24T12:14:00.000-04:002008-07-24T12:14:00.000-04:00Dale,like Adamg said, Farrior has the speaker in t...Dale,<BR/><BR/>like Adamg said, Farrior has the speaker in the helmet, so you would think he HAS to be on the field for passing downs. I forget the rules but can you have 2 players with speakers ? (obviously not on the field at the same time)<BR/><BR/>This also I think would be an issue if Timmons wanted to be in base packages with Farrior also on the field. What happens if Timmons supplants Foote, starts on say a 2nd down in a base 3-4 next to Farrior, it becomes a passing situation on 3rd down and we want Timmons, not Farrior on the field. They switch helmets? Seems like a logistical issue. And I don't see Timmons getting the speaker full time in his helmet this year.<BR/><BR/>I really think this is the reason Polamula should, and will, have the speaker in his head. If healthy, he is always on the field.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725231979706488599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-16855688379962702602008-07-24T11:55:00.000-04:002008-07-24T11:55:00.000-04:00Dave,Regarding the ILB situation, are we in a 1 ye...Dave,<BR/><BR/>Regarding the ILB situation, are we in a 1 year "problem" with 3 starters to fill 2 positions???

Harrison - Timmons - Farrior - Woodley, with former-starter Foote and Bruce Davis backing them up. If Farrior and Harrison repeat last year's performance and Timmons/Woodley live up to expectations, we should have a very fearsome group of LBs.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689063814872850647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-31291190672845428272008-07-23T23:31:00.000-04:002008-07-23T23:31:00.000-04:00The package that they worked a lot with in OTAs ha...The package that they worked a lot with in OTAs had both Farrior and Timmons inside in the sub-package.
