Mark my words - Carr will start sometime in 2008

Brandon Carr appears to be adjusting to the NFL much more quickly than I had expected for a guy coming from Division II - now I know Grand Valley State is consistently among the top D-II teams, and that Carr might have ended up at UM or MSU instead, but I still thought he would take a season of playing nickel to get used to covering NFL caliber receivers, something he didn't have to do week in week out in college. I have been really impressed with the young guy. That INT in the endzone was a thing of beauty. And then, yesterday in practice
CB Brandon Carr won a jump ball with WR Dewayne Bowe for the third INT.
Bowe is certainly no slouch in the jump ball department - he won several of those against very good CB's last season, so this, i think, is good news for us, and less than good news for Surtain. However, Surtain can still benefit us greatly playing nickel-back 9the position, not the ass-hat band =) ) in a zone defense...he is smart and can hang back and maybe grab a few picks playing the zone in the middle of the field.

Hasty/Carter???
I completely agree with you hopefully we have the next home-grown James Hasty / Dale Carter combo.

Flowers/Carr
If Carr does start, we have to come up with a cool name for the “Brandon’s”

Heres a story, of a coach named Edwards
Who was bringing up three boys of his own.
They were all alone and needed drafting,
And the Chiefs got em on the phone.
The Brandon Bunch, The Brandon Bunch,
Thats the way we gained our Brandon Bunch!

Clever
But I’m not sure that’s a song I’d admit to knowing.
(Which I guess I did via the “clever” remark, eh?)

The scary thing is
These guys are still learning and developing. I have been extremely impressed with Flowers, and Carr is growing on me. I get excited to think that they will probably improve as the season progresses.
Surtain hasn’t been Dragging Ball-z either, I think he’s elevated his play a bit because of the rookies. In any case, our CB corps looks to be much improved this year.

I think he will too... surtain is old and appears to lost more than a step.

Brandon's
This could be similar to Sam Madison and Pat Surtain when they were in Miami.
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Brandon’s might work
