The cornerback position looks to be very bright.

I hate to jinx em but the kickers have been solid thus far.

I think John Kuhn is going to be a big upgrade at the FB position over Austin Johnson. I expect to see Mark Ingram, Tim Hightower, and CJ Spiller getting huge chunks of yardage with each carry.

Agreed. Kuhn has the total package & is proven in all phases @ his position.

The only red flag is John Kuhn's age, 33 yo, but it's not like he'll see that many snaps on offense...

Question is, can Kuhn pick up the slack on special teams where Austin Johnson was experienced both as a fullback and linebacker?

I think the last RB roster spot will ultimately come down to either Hightower or Cadet.

Hightower it is then.
