Mandatory Minicamp 6/9-11

[jdlboot14]

Looking at more Raridon tape. I don't care about his limited stats, or past injury - he finds space, and is tough through the catch.
What you notice about all the pass-catchers coming in - is they may not be top speed guys, but they are all very good in traffic, high pointing & contested catch. AJ, Doubs, Hollins, Boutte, Raridon (even Dixon) - are guys who don't avoid contact or shrink in tight windows and bodies around the ball. That is what Maye does - he throws into tight windows, he puts it up to give guys a chance. These WR/TE are Maye guys. While Henry can as well, he's getting older and doesn't love contact. Pop & KW are the speed "in-space" guys. It's a good mix and should be a very explosive offense - as long as Rham can stay fresh & healthy. Because I don't think Hendo will ever thrive as the RB1, he is best in situational role. But Larison could turn into the best all-around RB weapon if everything goes right for him. He's more shifty & explosive than either Miller or Monty.

Lomu showed up voluntarily without singing

Lomu is not rehabbing a bad hammy

Moved up from June 15-17. Mike Reiss thinks it's because of the early September 9 opener.

Camp was bumped up a week because of the World Cup. The first match in Foxbourgh is on 6/13.

Gonzo will be extended. Period. He’s the best CB on the planet. Really nothing to discuss..

Lomu is not rehabbing a bad hammy

A bad hammy keeps a player from coming to voluntary camp and see the training staff?

Hopefully Jacas shows up too.

I'd rather Jacas didn't get on the field before his hamstring is completely healed. I'd rather he lose time in minicamp than the regular season.

He can show up and work with the training staff, learn the playbook, meet with the positional coaches and teammates, etc.

 

[mayoclinic]

Jacas was reportedly at rookie minicamp but not participating. He apparently missed OTAs altogether.

Also, if he posted a 1.59 10-split on a bad hammy in early April, and still isn't ready to go 2 months later, then imagine what he could do when healthy.

Whole thing does not add up.

Or that he will play until its clear that no deal is possible.

naaah

He isn't going to risk injury until a decision is made with regard to contract.
