Seems like there will be a small army of import O-linemen dukeing it out for Fulton's old position.
Hand the rock to Cobb and watch out CFL opponents. Give him a chance to play.
It's going to be a hellish tough and competitive training camp this year. Nothing is given for nothing. This is truly the way it should be because all too often in the past there wasn't too much emphasis on competition. Often you have seen guys who had done better in pre-season mysteriously cut so that some average performing local star had his spot locked up. Hopefully the expectation of excellence this management group is known for, become the norm!
