Are you ready for some ArenaBall? I am. I know the coaches are.
I've ran into Pat O'Hara about a half dozen times at the coffee
machine in the past few weeks (man that guy drinks a lot of coffee)
and you can tell that he and the rest of the coaching staff is ready
to get on the field.

Before we talk a little football, a quick note about the format
of "The View" this season. My goal is to try to give you a couple
paragraphs of news and views a few times a week rather than doing
just one long column each week. The technical guys are also working
on posting this like a blog that will allow you to comment and us to
interact this season.

Mini-Camp gets started tomorrow. There will be three days of workouts
at University of Tampa before the official Training Camp begins on
Monday, February 11. 37 players will take to the field. That number
will be pared down to 24 before the start of the season.

Just looking at the numbers game, I see eight offensive linemen,
seven defensive linemen and eight wide receivers listed on the
roster. It looks to me like those will be the positions to watch in
camp.

I will be out at UT tomorrow, so check back here for more later this
week.
