Rocky Landing Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Clay is practicing catching the football one-handed along the sidelines, occasionally tipping one to Aaron Williams. Williams catches 2 out of 3. This is where Greg Roman is right now. He has his work cut out for him with this batch, as other than Clay and O'Leary (who are locks), Manhertz is tall but raw, Gragg is a decent downfield threat but is not the blocker you want, Mulligan is a good blocker but needs work on receiving (he does very well this practice), Burton is bigger than Clay but is far less consistent or explosive, etc. What's up with Marquese Gray? Is he there? ---Cassel shows a very awkward rollout and pass on the fly. He's better than Orton, IMO, but Orton's better when on the move. Likely a wash. Can you really stand by this statement? Did Orton throw while running even once last season? My impression of Orton last season was that he was utterly incapable of throwing without his feet planted. Edit: Love reading the analysis, btw. My favorite threads on this board during this time of year. Thanks! Edited August 10, 2015 by Rocky Landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko12010 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I went to Joe B's twitter account to see where he could be going wrong with such biased reporting...and it was littered with petty twitter fights. He's clearly argumentative/defensive and just all around unprofessional. He is focusing on agendas as opposed to actual reporting. I tweeted to him. Asked him very politely why his EJ comments seem to be slanted negatively compared to others who are attending practice and simply relaying the results of each play. I think he deleted it right away.

JoKe B was called out by Eric Wood as a know nothing in a post practice presser last week when he listed Wood as his LVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) JoKe B was called out by Eric Wood as a know nothing in a post practice presser last week when he listed Wood as his LVP. I heard that too. He said someone sent him Joe B's tweet and he was surprised that he was grading his 1:1 blocking drills as he has no idea what they are actually doing. He then basically said he doesn't really care what Joe B writes, just found it hilarious. Edited August 10, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike32282 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks Astro! I wasn't able to make it this morning. I appreciate your awesome notes. It sucks about EJ though. I'm shocked Cassel actually did well. That's a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 It's great to hear about decent guard play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I heard that too. He said someone sent him Joe B's tweet and he was surprised that he was grading his 1:1 blocking drills as he has no idea what they are actually doing. He then basically said he doesn't really care what Joe B writes, just found it hilarious. Crazy, I've read right here in these very forums that Wood is on the decline, his knees are shot, and we should have drafted his replacement. He's nothing less than the weakest point on the o-line.

Dorkington Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I continue to be most excited by the possibility of a decent running attack. If we can have consistent success in running the ball, it'll make the job much easier for whomever our QB is. Last year we got really poor QB play (imo), because our run game was bottled up too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adam Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I have a theory. JoKe wasn't even in attendance today. He d1cked around, missed practice, then decided to re-post an analysis from last week thinking no one would know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
