2025 Rookie Minicamp

[SlowGettingUp]

Most plays in the NFL are run with the tackles in a 3-point stance.

Is that really right? My impression was that 2-point predominates for passing plays. But can't say I've ever looked closely.

In the college game I've seen a 70% 2-point stance claim (link below) - and that was a few years ago, so likely even more now. Some of that maybe comes from the Pop Warner ranks where the 3-point stance is outlawed to protect against head impacts.

Why the three-point stance could become a football thing of the past

Fewer hands in the dirt, fewer head injuries? The two-point stance appears safer for linemen and a better fit for today's game.

Wow, he looks tiny compared to the monster wearing 67? next to him. Who's that?

I see we have a FB again!

I see that Paul is still relying on snail mail to get his news updates.

Must be a camp invitee I think. Not one of the rookie numbers:



Campbell is 6'6" and 319 lb (doesn't look it), so that guy is indeed huge.

Seeing that running at you sub 4.9 40 speed would be terrifying…

That was exactly one of the two main concerns I had for him, he's damn near 6'8", and can't really even get down low in a two-point stance, never mind a 3-point stance.

I'm glad that the coaches a) know that, and don't just throw players out there because they're on the roster, and once they're between the white lines, there's nothing you can do for them, and b) did it pretty much first thing. You can't make his arms longer, but you better make sure he can get that 3-point stance down (and hopefully without tipoffs).

Think of it like a center who's only done shotgun snaps in college.

Had they drafted Banks they wouldn't have this problem.

Hey now been looking at server monitoring screens with an occasional look at the phone….goddamned responsibilities!

He's 6'1" 249 lb - 70 lb less than Campbell. So can't be right.

Maybe it's one of the two rookie OL players they got. Bryant (Drafted) and Conley (UDFA), both are 6'7 and Bryant is 320 and Conley is 330.

Bryant (Drafted) and Conley (UDFA), both are 6'7 and Bryant is 320 and Conley is 330.

But neither has a number ending in 7.
Onwenu (last seen at 350 lb) is the heaviest guy on the roster.
So the giant remains a mystery.

They weren't joking when they said Campbell has narrow shoulders. Oh well at least from all reports he was doing well in rookie minicamp. Strong punch and athleticism, etc.

 

[VJCPatriot]

From what I heard from Lazar about training camp impressions, RB Larison looks good in a pass catching role.
