Question for Magnus - Countdown

Submitted by pee on freep on

Magnus,

What is the intent behind the TTB Countdown?  Specifically what is behind the order?  Significance to the team?  Most opportunity for playing time?

(Love the picture of Stephen Hopkins by the way...)

I did indeed think about that, but then thought others might be wondering the same thing since it is not shown/listed/noted on TTB (at least that i could find).  And since Magnus trolls around these parts I thought it to be a sufficient place to learn the answer to my question...

Thank you Foote Fetish for hooking-it-up.....

The countdown is from Least Important (Christian Pace, who'll surely redshirt) to Most Important (?????????????).  In other words, the #1 guy is the guy we can least afford to lose to injury.

That's why there are some pretty good players (Jeremy Gallon, for instance) pretty far down the list, simply because there are plenty of other slot receivers (Odoms, Roundtree, Grady, Robinson) who could pick up the slack.
