I'm starting to catch up on the weekend's news and this is what I was most interested in. I guess first step is to not get wrecked by back-ups, so that's good.

From what I'm reading, Parris Campbell seems to be Ryan's favorite target so far? What a sleeper that would be for the league if he can stay healthy and tap his potential with a good QB. Hearing Pierce is catching on quick is exciting. Saw that throw from Ryan to Hines while being smothered by Speed (I think)... A one-off throw like that is impressive, but seeing it after hearing all these guys gush about his accuracy is also very exciting.

MAC making Woods look small is crazy because Woods on tape looks pretty ridiculous.

Thanks for the info, Ballin.

Been reading good things about Banogu, looks like he is making a run at back up LEO. He is a big time athlete who someone loves on this team (guy never ever plays and yet has stays on the 53). Lets hope he can finally show why he was a second round draft choice and give us some production.

Banogu will never amount to shit.

Why do you say that? Have you seen him play? I haven't so I am not sure what he can bring to the team. I believe he has potential, the Colt administration seems to agree. I really hope you are wrong about this but agree you are probably correct, I just hope Eberflus was the one who didn't know shit.

Who knows, maybe he can be a late bloomer like Jerry Hughes

Went to camp on Saturday. While watching warmups girlfriend asked me “who is #52? He doesn’t seem to take it as serious as everyone else.” Apparently according to her he spent the whole time dancing. Doesn’t mean shit obviously, but I found it funny why he caught her attention.

Same deal (doesn’t mean shit) but the one thing that caught my attention was Gransen dropping or bobbling balls. Didn’t seem to cleanly catch anything contested that I saw. I obviously only saw a few passes, so hopefully just coincidence they were bad ones.

Like Hughes, it could be a change of position that matters, Hughes was asked to be a 4/3 DE like Freeney and Mathis and it wasn’t a good fit. He went to Buffalo and played OLB in their 3/4.
The dumb thing is that it was the same year we made the switch to 3/4, he could have potentially done that here.

Anyway having Banogu play LEO in this new defense could be a real thing.

I feel like I keep hearing this about the guy from several observers. Sucks because Granson's skillset could be a unique element at TE with MAC, Woods, and Ogletree almost like gigantic clones of one another.

My guess is that MAC and Woods are locks for TE1 and TE2. Granson and Ogletree are fighting for TE3 on the 53 and then the other gets the practice squad spot.

Honestly, it does not matter to me which get what. That spot is pretty much a special teams spot with probably no more than 15-20 passes thrown their way during the regular season.

Grandson was supposed to be the guy that gave defenses huge matchup issues, a wide receiver at tight end. If his hands are questionable that won’t fly. I’m hoping both rookies make the team. I want dudes that can block at that position.
