Chris Perry and Rudi Johnson are on the field "fully"

Mark Curnutte made note that Rudi Johnson and Chris Perry were fully participating in OTAs this week after missing "at least one workout last week". Running back is the most wide-range spectrum going into this season. As a combined unit, they could either be really good or really bad. Rudi Johnson could be much better than his degradation seasons of 2006-7, or worse. Chris Perry could either be injured often or not at all. Kenny Watson, a stabilizing force last season, just doesn't give the impression he's a long-term feature back. And DeDe Dorsey, while exciting as hell when he touched the ball, doesn't have a sample large enough for us to expect much, if anything.

Curnutte also noted that veterans Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Willie Anderson and Levi Jones weren't there -- which makes me question if anyone calls them leaders. But, it's voluntary sessions, right?

Sounds like our linebacker unit, who with Brooks, Thurman and Hartwell, at the beginning of 2007, could have been either really good or really bad. That really didn’t turn out so well for us.

Count me among those who’d like to- really, really like to- be optimistic about our return to a power ground game but is troubled by the reality of our lack of power in the middle and our failure to address same. Without holes to run through, no back is productive- excepting maybe Barry Sanders.

As for the missing vets;

Nothing EgOcho does responds to logic.

TJ’s absence, though not surprising, is troubling especially given this off-season’s potential loss of two-thirds of our WR productivity and the influx of raw talent. Who’s gonna take these guys under their wing, Glenn Holt?

Levi’s become a headcase so his being there would seem to be called for.

Everyone knows Willie is a grinder. Everyone knows he has ancient bones that we’re hoping to nurse through another full season. Even absent, Willie will still lead when camp rolls around.
