He was apparently full go today, only 7-7 but was 9-9 and looked crisp.

Cain is getting tons of hype, hope it's legit. We could be terrifying on O this year!

Anyone hear Nyheim Hines on the radio yesterday?

That is an impressive dude. He was asked what his goals were, said he didn't really have any- then proceeded to rip off several very understated objectives that show how detailed he is while also demonstrating that he is extremely humble. Most impressively he started talking about technical elements of his routes and things he wants to improve on there. Then went on to say that his main objective (though he doesn't have any) is to put some of the 4.3 on display and put some 50-60 yard plays on the board this year.

He said this 2nd year he is much more comfortable, knows what is going on, knows where he is supposed to be, etc... This from a guy who as a rookie was already showing his ability to play the jack of all trades role and was a critical piece of the dynamic offense we put on the field last year. LOOK OUT!

He did indicate that he is the only "RB" that the WR coach often asks to attend the WR meetings as well.

Forever I wanted this team to pick up Sproles, was so disappointed on I think 2 different instances where we could have went after him and didn't. Damn it would be awesome if we finally got a youngster version of that...

Did anyone notice Nelson is sporting an old school handle bar mustache. He looks like the grizled vet from a old cop show.

Damn I hope Funchess progresses like Ebron did- that is just a gigantic man. You give Andrew two reliable behemoths in the red zone- might as well just give up the six and start walking the other direction...

I used to always marvel at the size difference between the Pats and us, particularly if I had good tickets and could just see the tangible difference in size- they just had BIG dudes all over the field and they just got over on us with physicality it seemed at every level. It's great to feel like we are in many ways becoming that team, a team that you just can't deal with on the size front. And with the insanity of speed in TY, Campbell, Hines to compliment... damn damn damn...

And now Luck is sidelined with the quad again and is off the field for at least the next 5 days... damnit!

Highlights After a Few Days

Defense:
Autry is apparently having a good camp and has been unblockable. He even knocked Nelson on his ass.

Turay had some nice moves and plays, but has been limited by a shoulder. He even played the run well on a run down.

Leonard looks awesome and hasn't missed a beat. He has been sealing his side pretty much.

Anthony Walker has the middle locked down. No competition from any of the other LB's

The corner back competition is fierce and some talent is going to get cut. Early prediction on the five to make it
  • Desir
  • Moore
  • Wilson
  • Ya-Sin
  • Hairston (takes the edge because of versatility)

Holder and some other press really like the CB group. Doyle thinks the group is average. So some range of opinion.

So where does this leave Jalen Collins and Marvell Tell? Not sure, because it seems Farley, Odum, and Willis are at the backup safety spots.

The competition is mainly for the backup spots, the starters seem to be the same as last year.


Offense
Parris Cambell has shown a lot of flashes and burned Collins on an redzone throw so bad that ppl were saying a guy shouldn't be that open. And Collins is doing well this camp. Cambell has made some mistakes also, but he looks promising.

Deon Cain has shown some flashes as well, but they are taking it slow with him. If he can stay healthy he may contribute this year.

Reece Fountain update

The WR group will be a tough one to make this year. Especially if we carry 4 RB's and 4 TE's, that means 5 WR's. Don't be surprised if Rogers makes the roster because of his versatility.

The dline has been getting the better of the oline, but that is not surprising. It takes awhile for offenses to get going and defenses usually look better at the beginning of the year. Once they get Luck back full time they should pick things up.

Chad Kelly has an impressive arm. Might make the practice squad.

Mo Allie Cox may have a breakout season.

Luck is controlling his rehab, so his participation is totally up to him. He doesn't care what anyone thinks and will pace himself how he thinks best. He is being cautious because he tried to rush the shoulder situation and it backfired, so he is being very cautious. That said he will be there week 1.

Just heard Chappy on DD. He said he feels very strongly that this is the best roster we have had since the 09' SB season. It's awesome to hear we're going to be putting starting quality players on the street this year. What was it 2 years ago we signed 6 waiver wire guys the day after cuts? Huge transformation- bravo Ballard!
