SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

I thought McKenzie had the edge, anyway. And I couldn't see any way they'd carry them both.

Groins and hamstrings.

They don't warm up good enough and they aren't in game speed readiness

I tend to agree.  Gunner needed to impress in the PS games, I think his injury sealed the deal for McKenzie (and this coming from a guy who liked what he saw from Gunner in camp)

IDK, McK sure looks shaky fielding some of those punts.

@Ed Vette and @Trench: I also agree but still favor McKenzie.

IMO what you are seeing is not actually shakiness,  but rather an attempt to improve his technique.

The goal is to situate yourself behind where you think the ball will land and step forward while catching it in front of you. IMO he's "practicing" the technique (which is not a natural move) and it's making him appear to be indecisive with his feet. He's the better/smarter runner.  I'd like to keep both players but IMO there's only going to be room for one.
