Around the League Training Camp Thread

Oh good. Just what us Bills fans like to see - Chiefs improving by hitting on their late round draft picks. 
 

Yeah, good point. Biased blue checks on twitter who cover a certain team saying a player on a certain team facing members of his own team in a light setting is totally legit. Take that to the bank.

 

On that note, we should really be worried about Trubisky taking Allen's job. He's looked really good in practice.

 

Anything said by any of these reporters, including for the Bills, is just fluff. It is meaningless. Efe Obada is probably not going to end up as our best edge because of a couple good practices. Matt Breida isn't going to become RB1 because of a couple good practices.

 

I now want Trey Smith to fail spectacularly. I feel bad for wanting this. I shouldn't want this. Yet here we are. I hope Zerovoltzzz the BBQ heretic is happy.

Since when the hell are drill sargent/psychopath coaches making a comeback? Did none of these dudes watch Junction Boys. And yes I'm talking to you, Joe Judge & Dam Campbell.

 

Would never want my future kids playing for that kind of coach.

Not sure what you think my comment was advocating here. I didn’t post that link to the tweet. I think it’s common knowledge that most daily reports coming out of camps this time of year are slanted toward local coverage (and optimism). With the exception of a few national stops and reports sprinkled in. The guy who tweeted thinks Trey Smith is doing well. Whether that’s true or not will eventually be proven out, but at this time it’s all us opposing fans have to go on. If it’s true, it’s another solid offseason gain to their revamped oline that frankly we (or any other team trying to close the gap on the Chiefs) don’t need to see. 🤷‍♂️

I think it was implying that biased journalist said biased thing -> biased thing likely true -> Chieves improve yet again -> goddamn it

Sorry, living in Toronto made me so annoyed that the "Toronto Maple Leafs" is spelled wrong that I just started pluralizing random words in the way of "leaves"

Hilarity aside, Jameis has lost a lot of weight and actually looks pretty good, football body wise.

 

Always thought he was one of the 3 or 4 more gifted QBs in the NFL (mental + arm), and just needed a kick in the arse to take the leap to elite. Think he's going to have a pro-bowl/borderline MVP season

Put it in the bold prediction thread!

 

I think the saints lack downfield weapons and he’s always trying to push the ball downfield. I think he will struggle a bit.

Haha. I’m tracking. Fair enough! Believe me, I hope that guy is dead wrong. I like what they did to retool their line as a casual observer, but as a Bills fan not so much. I’m really hoping our DL additions are enough to get more pressure on Mahomes and get us over the hump. We don’t need them hitting on late round picks on top of everything else.

I'm not sure how you can say he has the mental part when he has 88 career INT's in 5 seasons played.  Bruce Arians has one of the most QB friendly systems ever and Winston threw 30 picks with him in 2019.  30!

he just realized he need Lasic surgery. So now he can actually tell who’s on his team. He’s gonna end up in the hall of fame

So 3 Giants have retired since Training  camp has started?

Another loser off the Belichick tree.  He will join so many others that left Tom Brady and NE to fail miserably.  Maybe the worst coaching tree in history - rotten from the core.

 

The only good thing is watching BB fail without Brady as the team descends to mediocrity.

You’re not wrong. The zoomed in video the hit didn’t look terrible to

me.  I get it’s illegal and sucks the other guy is hurt. Just seemed pretty extreme to cut him immediately. If it was a starter they wouldn’t of cut him imo. I’m not defending the guy I don’t know him or work with him daily so maybe he’s an issue for them.

Yeah, when you arent a starter and do something dumb the first week of camp... you become the lesson.

 

You are right.  They did not release Troy Vincent when he took a cheap shot on "uppity" QB.

1st day of pads for KC.

 

Niang struggled VS Frank Clark in one on one pass drills.

 

Orlando Brown struggled VS Chris Jones in one on one pass drills. 

 

Not a great start for the OT's today.......but Jones is said to have looked good VS everyone....as he should.

 

Creed Humphrey looking good at C....no reason at all to think he won't start.

 

Trey Smith (steal of draft) looking good VS everyone but Chris Jones.

 

Noah Gray having some struggles...had been looking great without pads.  We'll see how things progress.

 

Willie Gay continues to shine.  Accoutns from players, coaches and media all glowing about his coverage and speed.

 

Nick Bolton, making plays now that the pads are on....defending passes, and a couple INTS so far.

Thank you for keeping this within its correct thread because if you didn’t I would seriously Hate you to no end

Where did all of the Jerry "Sulking" Sullivan clones go?

Quote

Veteran offensive lineman Joe Looney has decided to retire, sources told ESPN. He had signed with the New York Giants late last week.

 

Supposedly nothing to do with scuffle in camp or punishment exercises.

I would say that it's a fun offense to play in for a QB....not so much QB friendly.  Arians demands alot of long downfield passing.  Even Brady was stuggling until he convinced Arians to run more of the shorter stuff Brady prefers.
