Mike Holmgren made some interesting comments about position battles. He commented on the fullbacks and wide receivers, but said things were pretty set with the tight ends and quarterbacks. He went on to say that the team was not entirely sure about the third tight end. What does that mean for David Greene and Gibran Hamdan?
If he meant to imply that someone had the job locked up, then it would have to be Greene. Hamdan just has not had enough chances yet to take over, let alone lock up, the #3 job. Most likely he just meant that everything is set with those two battling for #3 in camp and the preseason. Hamdan and Pat Ross struggled with some center exchanges this afternoon, and Holmgren hates that stuff, but he made his comments before this took place.
Some minor news out of Tampa Bay - Bruce Gradkowski is running the second team offense, instead of Tim Rattay. The problem with Rattay's availability is that Jay Fiedler is still not back to 100%. Although Holmgren has said otherwise, the lack of anything special out of Greene or Hamdan could revive the possibility of bringing in a veteran (Rattay) once Fiedler gets healthy. Rattay knows the basics of the offense and it would mainly be a matter of terminology. He has always been someone that does not rely on practice to play well in game situations. Bringing in someone new this late would not be ideal, but Rattay could be a better option than Greene or Hamdan.
