Right, I guess my point was, it doesn’t feel like Thornton has that long to get healthy and get practicing before camp is over. Essentially, three weeks?

He doesn't, he needs to get out there soon. It's certainly not ideal so far, but it's not panic time yet IMO.

You're concerned just a week into TC? Do you understand how absurd that sounds?

Did you stop to think that maybe they're treating him with "kids gloves" like they are Trent Brown and Judon?

In his defense it isn't just a week into TC it's a season and a week. I can understand why people are quick to get discouraged with high WR picks

there’s a difference. Trent and Judon have actually performed in the NFL. And at a high level. Thornton has yet to do anything much at all.

Question which game will be the tune up game for Mac and the Offense?? Preseason game 2?? I am sure Zappe will get a lot of reps in the Preseason.

Do they still do tune up games? It seemed like the joint practices are the new tune up games.

The defense of draft picks continues.

Looks like last year Mac didn't play game 1, played very little game 2, game 3 played a bit more. No idea what they will do this year.

From the sound of it Jack got burned a couple times today and it boiled over that last time. They have been going hard for 5 days, probably need a rest day for everyone.

I appreciate that he is very passionate about never getting beat, but he better be careful. He must be on very thin ice

After the way last season ended I think it's the end of the line for Folk here. Was great having him but time to move on.

BOB didn't mention Zappe once that tells me he likes him.

Or wanted to divert attention away.

That feels like a canned answer from BOB, but man, is it reassuring having an actual experienced offense coordinator again.

Try clicking on the tweet so it isn't clipped. He mentions Zappe early on.
