I don't think Vonta Leach is going to make this team. Hopefully this cooper fella can catch the ball and stick some blocks, because over the past two years I have not been all that impressed with Vonte.
I like the fact that Davenport will see some time as a fullback, and he wouldn't be a bad choice for the third down back if he can set up the screen and catch the ball. I would also like to see Ahman Green kept in there on third down since he has the best hands on the team, and he is unbelievable on the screen.
I wouldn't be suprised if a month into training camp Samkon is dealt for a future draft pick. If he doesn't start recognizing the scheme on the field a little quicker he is going to be useless as a running back in the zone scheme. Herron my not be a burner but he has the scheme down at this point, and he is big enough to play a little fullback.
Running backs that are going to make this team
Green
Davenport
Herron
Fullbacks
Henderson

*denotes practice squad player
I think Thompson and MM want to keep 6 wide recievers, so in a likely case if Davenport and Herron can demonstrate that they can take on the responsiblity of the fullback here and there, than I think they will only carry one full time fullback
