2018 Training Camp Thread - Day 6 (8/1/18)

Oh this is definitely a thing now.

Some might take it as lip service but I love hearing it when you know its true. I can't count how many times I've read those 2, usually + Flowers. Are working after practicing.

If these 3 guys stay healthy I'm not worried about our pass rush. Esp w Clayborn.
It's a vg group for us even if some don't know it yet.

If we sign Decker then it makes it even tougher.
I have a hard time seeing what Decker brings to the table other than his wife.

I feel like Decker's value right now is as a contingency plan. A guy that has experience in a McDaniels offense, who could catch up (in theory) quickly if they need to sign him. This would be if they don't get enough good showings from Mitchell, Britt, Dorsett, Patterson, or the rooks. All of those players are ahead of him right now simply due to reps they've gotten in the various camps.

But if Mitchell continues his health problems, Patterson doesn't "get it", Britt can't stay healthy, and Dorsett's role doesn't expand from last season (in other words, worst case veteran scenario), Decker might be an emergency necessity until Edelman comes back, possibly beyond.

yep . new TE delivered as expected - who's the OL gone?

bad picture is not the best way to start w new team
unless its a familiar oldie face..

Decker is 6'3"/220.

Please no Decker would rather give Dez Bryant a labatomy and bring him in.

Dez Bryant is not the same as he used to be, but had a solid year last year with 838 yards and 6 TDs. Honestly, that’s the production of a typical patriots receiver.

I am not against Eric Decker isn't he a year removed from that nasty injury he suffered a few years back?? We had Cooks last year minus Edelman and that wasn't perfect but at the moment we don't have a Cooks on this Team.

Decker is taking a spot from a young devopmental receiver.
Decker is a Charles Johnson kind of signing.

First bad day for Brown apparently.

So happy we Drafted Wynn he could easily slide in place for Fragile Cannon.

1) Do we even know that Decker has been signed?
2) He could be taking one of the 90-man roster spots from Paul Turner (not a great bet to make the roster), or even from a scrub OL.
3) There's no guarantee that Decker will make the 53-man roster, even if he is brought into Camp.

MOTHERFU....

God please no we are not the Chargers.

Can we please here about this asap.
