NFL Training Camps INFO

[long distance]

Maybe a thread of what's going on in other camps - esp. on players availability front - could make sense - to keep all that info in one place.

This is not to gloat on other's misfortune but to keep track on what's going on with competition and keep perspective on happenings at Foxboro.

Steelers are having a tough start of the camp first with starting G Foster scare and now LB Watt, TE McDonald, S Davis and Burnett + JuJu sidelined as well..

Awful injury. Speedy recoveries!





Old friend Jones is wreaking a different kind of havoc:

Darnold's holdout is over...

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Darnold's holdout is over...

Looks like he budged on offset language, in exchange for an earlier payout. Huh.

Speaking of holdouts, I'm surprised the Bears are being such sticklers about a potential suspension voiding Smith's guaranteed money. It doesn't seem fair.

Jetes will Jete. Trading up to #3 for their QB of the future and then insisting on some voiding future guarantees they are/would ending up paying anyway . thus voiding first week of TC for a QB whom they'd like to start early despite him being behind by most accounts..

Who's writing the scripts there, Billy Wilder?

Sad for the kid. I'm no Panthers fan, for obvious reason(s), but ****rell is somebody who I thought could've helped us before, at no cost other than his salary.

LOL that the forum censors the first four letters of his last name.

 

[Kontradiction]

Damn, Sherman looks very slow here...

[Kontradiction]

They need him. Besides Brown, the rest of that OL is extremely suspect in pass pro.

Is the obvious reason that you're a Patriots fan?

Another testament of great 2017 NE UDFA haul..

Prediction from Colts camp:

Kenny Moore (last yrs Pats UDFA they couldn't bring back on their PS) will beat out Quincy Wilson or Pierre Desir to be one of the team's starting cornerbacks.

interesting nugget from Jags camp

Cody Kessler and Tanner Lee each struggled at times during organized team activities and minicamp and haven't been any better in the first week of camp. The team traded for Kessler and drafted Lee in the sixth round, so there isn't much invested in either. There is a steep drop-off after Blake Bortles (a statement that may surprise some) and the Jaguars need to have a viable option available if Bortles does sustain an injury that keeps him out several weeks. So far that hasn't been an issue because he has never missed a start. Don't be surprised to see the Jaguars scoop up another QB after the first or second round of cuts late in camp. -- Mike DiRocco

That doesn’t say much about he Colts’ secondary. They may be the worst defense in football this season.

Excuse me Mr DiRocco, but there are no longer multiple rounds of cuts in camp.

Sherman torched by Garçon this time. Clearly not 100%...

Sherman torched by Garçon this time. Clearly not 100%...

Tough to cover a guy 1 on 1 without pressing or a pass rush. While he looks slow, he's never been a speed guy (barely broke under 4.6). He's also pulled in multiple interceptions, like this one:

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I saw the Sherman clips & my biggest takeaway is if you're gone press. Get your hands on the WR. It literally defeats the entire purpose.

Pettis might have been the best r/r in the draft & would have been perfect here.

The Jags should look into the cost for Bridgewater.
