Training Camp 08/05/15

One of the biggest off season question marks going into camp is NOT getting much attention so far. Who is going to be the 3rd down back this season. Is it Cadet? Is it White? Is it Lewis?, Is it Bolden? Is it "to be named later". I don't know. No one seems to have established themselves as the leader out of the gate,. And surprisingly, no one here seems to care that much so far. I wonder why,

I think Brandon Bolden is the Matthew Slater of RB's he makes it by default on his Great ST's play. I think its really between White - Cadet and Lewis. All are young and unproven their play is worth watching to see who separates themselves from the group. We have to believe that they will give James White every opportunity to prove himself coming off the redshirt year.

I'm worried about Laffel missing valuable practices, it's not because he had a strong season last year that this is a guarantee he will succeed again, things chance fast in NE.

With experiance in the system I think it will not take LaFell very long to get insync with Brady. I love LaFell's upside in our Offense.

I have every hope that White will make a complete turnaround this camp. He's looked OK in drills, but I hate to say it. He got one hand off on GL and was stopped for a 2 yd loss by the first hand that touched him.

Disclaimer: I have to say I didn't see the entire play, more like the results, so my criticism "could" be unwarranted. But after watching him get taken down by the first hit ALL last season, I took that play as "same old, same old.

I'm sure all these guys will get a lot of reps during scrimmages and pre season games, so we will have a FAR better view of the 3rd down RB situation in a few more weeks.

Yeah, I'm not worried about LaFell at all. What precedent is there to think he won't be able to carry the production over into 2015?

Having been to one TC session, I consider myself an expert on all things TC related. If I say it, then it's true and you must believe it absolutely. Now that I've done my best DI impression, let me make some comments on the comments

You decided to not only be a liar, but an asshat, I see.

Why don't you get over your self and get a sense of humor, That was why the smiley face was added. Well that might be asking too much from someone with such a overinflated opinion of himself that he can't take even the slightest dig.

You don't even understand that being called a liar and an asshat by you is a badge of honor. Ah well, I suppose I'll have to be prepared to be banished to your infamous ignore list. (BTW-another badge of honor).

You know DI, I almost didn't write that opening, but I thought, "DI is being fairly user friendly the last few weeks, and not getting on his high horse and talking down to everyone much, I bet he'll get the joke and be able to laugh at himself for once". (as we all are forced to do now and again.....and me more than most). Clearly I was too optimistic.

In the clip #55 Freeney stood out to me. Cant wait til the first game.

No, Ken, you weren't just giving a dig. You were being an asshat. You know it, and I know it. It's what you've done time and again in the past, too, so it's not as if it's a one time thing.

And, Ken, the reason I've been "fairly user friendly" is because, while I've not got you there, I've got most of the other major asshats on ignore, and I haven't had to deal with them. You're relatively harmless, because you're too busy writing 500 page posts, that get about 98% of everything wrong, to do anything else.

But, please, regale us with tales of how #10 was actually awesome last night, and the unenlightened just can't understand that his performance was pure brilliance.
