CAMP OBJECTIVES: The biggest change on offense for Herm Edwards' squad could be at the coordinator position, where Al Saunders bolted to a lucrative contract with the Redskins and former o-line coach Mike Solari moves into Saunders' former chair. Solari's biggest concern could be at right tackle, where John Welbourn retired and Jordan Black needs to prove worthy of a full- time role. Trent Green and Larry Johnson are established as the starters at quarterback and running back, respectively, but with Todd Collins' (Redskins) departure and Priest Holmes' future in serious doubt, suitable backups must be located. If third-round draft pick Brodie Croyle (Alabama) and/or former CFL standout Casey Printers play well in camp, veteran Damon Huard could be excised from the quarterback depth chart. Former Bronco Quentin Griffin will battle Dee Brown for the RB job behind Johnson, and Ronnie Cruz should take over for the well-regarded Tony Richardson (Vikings) at fullback. On defense, coordinator Gunther Cunningham needs a credible cornerback to start opposite Patrick Surtain, and unless the team lands free agent Ty Law, former Broncos starter Lenny Walls and holdover Benny Sapp appear to be the top candidates. Another issue is the pass rush, where first-round draft pick Tamba Hali (Penn State) should win an immediate starting job should he impress.
