Way too early to be concerned about the defense. The early days of camp are more-or-less an extension of mandatory OTA's. It's the teaching period, with the emphasis being more on fundamentals than anything else. BB is using this time to teach and tinker. But your sentiment about the D being important in the first four weeks is spot on.
I'm not rooting for Dobson anymore, and I'm not nearly as optimistic as you are, my friend. But for the sake of the team, I hope you are correct about it being his breakout year. Someone with his physical gifts would make the offense completely unstoppable. It would be one more person that DC's around the league would have to plan to stop, and we already have so many of those. However, few of them have the ability to consistently get down the field naturally, needing to rely on clever play design to accomplish it instead. Dobson has the natural ability, but he struggles with almost every other area of being an NFL wideout at this point, specifically catching the ball cleanly (the MOST important aspect of receiving). He also can't seem to stay on the field either. I guess I should have started off with that since you can't really do anything on the field if you're not on the field.
Thank you, pats4life12.
Everybody that ran it yesterday passed. There was some speculation that Branch didn't pass, but it turns out that he's out with an injury and hasn't attempted it yet.Where can I find out if anyone failed the conditioning run?
Thanks in advance)
In the meantime I'll keep looking.
I appreciate your post. And perhaps my language was strong. However, I'm just not excited about dude anymore. I've rooted for him to make it the past many off seasons (you'll see it whenever his name ha been brought up in the past in different threads), but it has just gotten too frustrating. It's the same story:
) . That's where I am with the kid. The flashes no longer mean anything to me. I just can't seem to muster up the enthusiasm anymore just to be let down. If he makes something of the momentum he always seems to have at this point in the process, then I'll get back on board. I'm simply done with him until then. He is a second round pick and we're still talking about him as if this is his rookie or second season. He's a wide receiver who can't catch the ball . . . the primary skill for his position . . . in year four . It's pretty shocking, considering his hands were considered to be his best attribute coming out of Marshall.
