I hope you're right. I like this trio if Ridley stops dropping the ball.We actually have talent at RB now, so lets see how BB gauges that talent in March.

Were you at camp today? If so, where was the DL playing in terms of alignment? Were they mixed up or were they more LE or RE specific; 1-Tech DT or 3-Tech DT specific?I cannot say I can argue with one word he wrote.Smith repeatedly rammed into Marcus Cannon and got significant push every single time I watched them rep. Every single time, but then, that was using my eyes in person...I can't speak to the all seeing eyes of Stats-o-loid Universe.
Now, I know it's still early and there is still a really long way to go, but one can still get excited about the possibilities of a Vereen/White combo backfield. Many even had Sproles pegged for the Patriots and, though neither player compares to Sproles at this point in their young careers (or McCoy for that matter), this could still be a powerful weapon in NE's arsenal. And they'll get to see it likely in the joint practices. I'm sure BB and Chip will share some notes.» From Philadelphia Eagles camp, NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah provided some insight in the newLeSean McCoy-Darren Sproles tailback tandem, saying he expects both players to share the field some of the time. "I think Sproles is a perfect complement in this Chip Kelly offense," Jeremiah said onITC Live.
If smith is healthy and the injury isn't lingering he is a lock. I know you like stats but you can't judge smith on a sack number. He has been a complete DE not just a guy who gets some sacks while ignoring run d to make his stats look good. He has played at a top 10 at his position level for years.Wilson has been playing first team reps over the first 3 days and has played very well according to reports; he had an interception today.
Bequette was 2-0 in 1on1 drills today, in my opinion Bequette was a developmental player that Belichick valued enough to keep on the 53-man roster for 2 seasons; I think he will see an expanded role this season.
I think we will keep 5 DEs and right now I have it as:
LE – Ninkovich
RE – Jones
#3 DE – Buchanan
#4 DE – Bequette
Developmental DE – Moore
Personally, I was never a big fan of Will Smith, I thought he was grossly overrated when he was with the Saints, he had a very good 2009 season with 13 sacks, since then he has 18 over the next 3 seasons, and then he missed all of 2013. Week 1 of the season Smith very well could be the best player of the 4 competing for the backup DE spots, but I do not think that will be the case come week 17. I think players like Buchanan (who had a terrific practice today), Bequette, and Moore all offer potential to be more effective as they develop over the course of the season.
Where are those numbers from?True story –
Chris Jones – 786 snaps, 30 total pressures = 3.8%
Sealver Siliga – 215 snaps, 8 total pressures = 3.7%
NESN for total pressures and ESPN for snap count. I did the math.Where are those numbers from?
Can you post a linkNESN
Doesn't surprise me, Siliga had noticeable, surprising QB pressure for a big guy.NESN for total pressures and ESPN for snap count. I did the math.
Siliga is an interesting player, somewhat overshadowed during his time at Utah by Star Lotulelei and probably should have stayed in school for his final season. He is very talented however; his weakness coming into the NFL was his strength, which he has improved since entering the NFL.Doesn't surprise me, Siliga had noticeable, surprising QB pressure for a big guy.
How bout we pump the breaks a tad on James white... If I remember this board was calling Sudfeld the next gronk last year and he lasted 1 game
Much respect, MossWelk. I feel like as long as every poster remembers that it's early, a point that you've made, then there is nothing wrong with being happy with some of the early camp stories. They're all we have to go on right now. Heck, Logan Ryan popped in camp last season, stuck around and was the leader among rookies in interceptions.How bout we pump the breaks a tad on James white... If I remember this board was calling Sudfeld the next gronk last year and he lasted 1 game
Thanks for the link
I know he's on PUP but has anyone seen Easley at all, even standing on the sidelines? Just wondering.
Easley has been present at TC every day according to the reports..I know he's on PUP but has anyone seen Easley at all, even standing on the sidelines? Just wondering.
