Hard to believe there's just 12 days until they finally play a game, huh?

Actually, for those of us in Seattle it's really beginning to feel like football season.

Saturday's scrimmage not only whetted the appetite but gave us a clearer view of the Huskies as they enter the home stretch of camp.

That said, here's how the depth chart appears to look right now. I'm leaving in injured guys who had previously earned spots (Afoa, Russo, etc.) and we'll talk about those positions that appear most unsettled below.

COMMENTS: I'm struck by the fact that there's really been little change in most areas other than the offensive line. Most of the rest of the changes are due to injuries.

The big questions remaining are at LT where Habben and Ossai are battling it out --- I figure a rotation could be in the offing there; and cornerback, where there could also be a lot of experimentation until an answer is found, and where much also depends on the health of Davenport; and both kicker spots, which seem to still be wide open although the sense I get is that the PK job will be Folk's as soon as he's healthy since he seems to have the strongest leg.

A couple of other interesting positions are:

--- Middle linebacker, where it's beginning to be worth wondering how serious Donald Butler's knee injury is. Everyone has downplayed it, but it's two weeks into camp and he didn't go through the scrimmage and he's apparently been in-and-out of the lineup. You wonder if that's why Mason Foster is getting such a good look there if they think they may need some depth;

--- Backup running back, where J.R. Hasty again didn't do much in a scrimmage situation while some of the freshmen did. Coaches have indicated Hasty has the edge due to his experience, which is particularly crucial in handling blocking assignments in the passing game.

--- Tight end. I really can't tell if anyone has the lead there. They all seemed to play about the same amount Saturday, but Tim Lappano also said they took out much of the offense that revolved around that position. Unless someone steps forward, that may remain a real situational position.

--- Backup defensive line. De'Shon Matthews obviously made a huge run at more time with his play Saturday. Darrion Jones also had some nice moments. Cameron Elisara filled in for Afoa making it obvious he's the No. 3 tackle right now which means he's sure to get a lot of time.

--- Here's a story I wrote today on Jordan Reffett focusing on his status as the only player on the team who is living the life of a true family man, with a wife, a kid and a house. He truly seems worthy of the most inspirational player award he was given last season.

--- Here also is the scrimmage report that also includes a note with tragic news on Matt Lingley, who played for the Huskies for a few years (2000-2002) and was killed in an auto accident on Friday.

--- Here's a good story on the really nice Cowboys debut turned in by Isaiah Stanback, who had two catches, including a touchdown.
