EmotionallyUnstable

I'm just happy we can close out that other thread now. Time to see some production, fellas!

Is Marcel next!? Doomed!

Sammy Mic'd up really shows you who this kid is... One play stuck out to me in particular. He ran a 3-5 yard drag route across the formation. This is usually 3rd or 4th read. But he ran that route like it was the last one he'd ever do. A hard worker. A standup guy. Super excited to see him under the lights and let him roll... That being said, I present to you the newspaper headlines from week 2... Sammy slams Miami too optimistic?

poor b@s+@rd

Come on, Pegula. I'm pulling for ya!

You cannot force long touchdowns. Big plays happen naturally when your offensive is moving fluidly. I don't think it's fair to see Freddy doesn't have "homerun" potential. I've seen him break plenty of longer runs. He might not have the speed to sustain these. If we execute the offense, big plays will happen, regardless of who is on the receiving/rushing end.

Amish Rifle Flash Goodwin SWAT (are we going with this or what?!)

3 mil and an autographed jersey for mrags and he can stay.

I've been a proponent of putting CJ on the block. I believe Brown will prove to be a starting RB and with CJ's deal closing out, I doubt he will want to sign for what we offer. Try and get something for him now before we let him walk in free agency, That being said, I love the explosiveness CJ brings. But he just isnt the RB that we need.

#2!

One vote for SWAT... ...my vote counts, right?

Will be there this Fridy and hope to meet some of you there! PM me if you're going to be around. Hoping to take some detailed notes on EJ an the O Line

Possibly great news.

Tebow in "peak physical condition?!" Someone convince the football Jesus to give TE a try for us! What could it hurt. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/tim-tebow-wants-you-to-know-he-s-in-shape-and-totally-ready-for-an-nfl-call-171541549.html

Acceleration and explosiveness are definitely factors. I also think the league (and country) bought into the idea of SWAT because he is still very raw. This is not be said that he isn't NFL ready because it appears he is. But he has tremendous room to grow. The ceiling with this guy is growing higher, as it seems. His route running and understanding of the game have never been explored, pushed or refined to the point they will be as a professional. I'm excited to see his growth as he perfects the route tree and learns the ins and outs of x's and o's.

It seems like the board forgets that a lot of Kiko's success came from outstanding defensive line play. He was able to scrape freely last season. Our DT's allowed him to flow without interruption while edge players kept the ball contained. Losing Kiko is undoubtedly a blow to our team. However, with our addition of Brandon Spikes and consistent defensive line play, I think whoever fills the WLB role will be adequate. Two years ago the board raved about how bad Bradham was. I argued that it was often our scheme and lack of Nick Barnett's ability to take on a Offensive Lineman. If we sit in the true wide nine, 4-3 look that it appears we're going for, Bradham, Rivers or whoever should often be the 'snuffer'.

I know they discussed his (Hughes) and Lawson's role in our defensive scheme, but how is this kid against the run? Is he a three down guy or a one trick pony?

They've been looking okay so far this year. Especially when they are dropping into number 14's hands.

Haven't heard much of him yet... ...I suppose it's only been three days.

Interesting take. I don't think he was as under the radar as you make him seem. His stats last season were notable and I expect his production to remain the same if not improve.

Unless TJ flashes in camp, I can't see him making the final cut. All in on Hogan at this point.

Gasser tests are insane. Players are generally sorted into skill, semi-skill and lineman. Skill and semi-skill usually follow the following breakdown -Gasser (width of the field and back) Skill: sub 18 seconds / Semi: sub 19 seconds -35 second rest - Gasser -35 second rest (repeat until 10 gassers completed) *Players are now allowed an additional second for each gasser and rest time jumps to 45 seconds* -Gasser S: sub 19 seconds SS: sub 20 seconds -45 second rest (continues until 20 total gassers are completed) Note: Different programs follow different procedures for what 'passing' is. When I played college ball we used this test for 3 of my 4 years. Failing one gasser was allowed but two disqualified you. I've also heard this test being used with no failures or many failures as long as the are non-consecutive. My guess would be they allow zero failures. Lineman may follow a similar procedure with longer rest and gasser times.

.... Mrags, Astro, etc, I missed having the reports today guys. Makes you appreciate all the work some people do for those who cannot attend camp. Special thanks to those guys who devote hours to the study and write ups! cheers to you all -Billeve

Is this just a shot in the dark or does it have some truth to it?

He's only an 80 on Madden?!?! bust.
