section122 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I thought this was a prediction thread for the upcoming season. But we talkin bout practice... I guess we gotta go Thompson for surprising, and Cockrell/Meeks for disappointing. Cockrell is a good name as well. Starting to look like Mike Evans is going to get the last laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 That's almost the definition of there haven't been many surprises when you are talking about a 5th and a 6th round draft choice both of whom are probably third string. Yea it's true. There really hasn't been too many. Maybe Miller is a bigger surprise but Rex has been talking him up a lot since OTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight in philly Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 JMHO. based on what i read , i have to go along with o'leary as a disappointment, really thought he was your typical late round "steal". and go with henderson as the surprise. "surprise" based on the fact he was going into camp in the proverbial doghouse.. seems to have totally righted himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTalbotBills Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Surprising: John Miller Disappointing: Chris Hogan Miller has come in and looked like an NFL guard from day one. Hogan was so reliable last season and has had way too many drops during training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Surprising: John Miller Disappointing: Chris Hogan Miller has come in and looked like an NFL guard from day one. Hogan was so reliable last season and has had way too many drops during training camp. I'm in on Miller, and hope it's not Hogan.... but I can see the argument.

Nihilarian Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Surprise: John Miller 3rd round pick at RG. So far he has exceeded my expectations. Disappointing: Darby looked good in camp, and then not so good in a pre season game. Minor disappointment: explosive as the offense could be with all the superstars- McCoy- Watkins- Clay- Harvin.. I have yet to see that "could be" exciting offense. Hopefully we see it as the pre season games progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Surprise? This thread is posted after only one preseason game, when we basically still know very little. Let them play a little. Disappointed? Kirby started the thread. He knows too much about football to get to revved up, or down, on any player, just yet. Just playin' a bit, Kirby. But some guys need a game experience to shine and some really look good in workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Surprise: EJ, has made a lot of progress, displays confidence. All the more impressive given the coaches are down on him Disappointment: its early, but Darby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Surprise: Deonte Thompson, Andre Davis both thought as camp fodder, one might be pushing Hogan and Goodwin out of the roster. Karlos Williams, wasn't startled by the steep competition, showed he belongs. Disappointing; Cockrell not much improvement from one year to another and his latest injury doesn't help his cause.

MDH Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Surprise: Miller - you don't expect 3rd round Guards to be inserted immediately and shine. Disappointment: Harvin - I didn't want him on the team yet had hoped since they signed him he'd show his skills. Sitting on the sideline is one of the major knocks on the guy before this season.

Leroi Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Tryod was a huge surprise. EJ has plateaued off and unfortunately, it appears, will not become the QB we all want him 2b. Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 91 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Incognito was a surprise. Not that I thought he'd suck, but there was definitely a chance he would. O'Leary is the disappointment. Poor showing out of him. Thats very understandable. I didn't think much about oleary because i wasnt high on him. He always seemed a blue collar guy who did nothing special.

BADOLBILZ Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Disappointment: O'Leary and Cockrell. Surprise: Miller, even though the reports all along have been good. Karlos better than advertised. It's funny but there haven't been a lot of either in my book. I somewhat expected this out of the QBs. Cockrell and Miller for me too. I thought Cockrell would make a big step up. Miller has looked a lot more athletic than advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
