No real surprises honestly. I think it's a coin flip on which LT ends up starting. It'd be nice if whomever that ends up being does well and they don't swap them out constantly. But I get the feeling he'll do some kind of rotation where they play two series and swap em out kinda thing until one stands out. I could be way wrong though who knows.

WRs and RBs it just doesn't matter... Jumble up all the names for them and we'll just see situationally who's playing the most snaps. No reason to cry about RVZ or even Pattersons names not being towards the top cause they'll both play I bet and play quite a bit. And if Patterson isn't playing much then that must mean the other dudes are just bringing more to the table. I don't think Moulton or any of the backs will be getting 20 touches/game. I think we'll have 2 or 3 guys with 8-15 touches or so at the RB position.

I was surprised to see RVZ wasn’t a starter. But I agree that he will be on the field a lot. I wonder if Lester’s high value on speed over size impacted here.
