Alex Loukas, who only practices half-time with the offense and as we know has problems throwing downfield, is nonetheless the leader for the backup QB spot. . . . Jeremy Stewart is ahead for the starting running-back position.

I don\'t think we really know much about how Loukas can throw the ball. He has a career total of just 20 pass attempts. I\'d have to see more from him before writing off his throwing ability (although I actually hope that we don\'t see him at all, except to run out the clock late in the game).

I suspect Stewart is the leader for the RB position at the moment because the coach likes his seniority, familiarity with the offense, blocking ability, and maturity. He may start the first few games for the same reasons. But I will be surprised if Stewart ends up getting the largest number of carries at RB.
