Wow - 16 OL guys!  Thats A LOT of camp bodies!!!  And 10 LB's for essentially 2 spots!!!  I understand the ST's guys and all but wow....

 

Out of curiosity, anyone know what they get paid per day to be a camp body?

   Happy to see it on the O line.

   They need to not only field an improved line but need to make sure to get them through camp in one piece.

We do play 4-3 some of the time-- not a huge percentage, but noteworthy-- so , three spots for LB, really. Plus, Matekevich is a ST guy, and only played defensive snaps when Edmunds, and Milano were injured, iirc. 

 

But, with those injuries, and relying so much on Edmunds, and Milano, linebacker was certainly a weak area on D, last season. We need some depth there, for sure.

Practice is at 10am. Just a heads up it sounds like rain is in the forecast, and if they move inside I’m not sure if the media still has access or not. Last year they didn’t but I don’t know if protocols are different this year. 

I hope they practice in the rain, as long as it's just rain and not a thunderstorm of any kind. Reason being so Josh can light it up throwing the football and then all of the herbs who were making the rain excuse for Tua can chime in.

Well Ralph used to pay the guys in free ice cream. Pretty sure the Pegula's pay them a little more.

Basically about $3,400 for a rookie, and $6,400 (plus whatever may be in their contract) for the month, plus housing, food, training facilities, and recovery/rehab services of trainers.

 

So, for example, a vet like Forrest Lamp who may or may not make the team, signed a contract with $137,000 signing bonus and $350,000 guaranteed (bonus plus part of his salary). If the Bills cut him, he walks away with $350,000 for his OTA and training camp work, in addition to the $6,400 training camp money.

 

But others like Jake Kumerow, Justin Zimmer, Tanner Gentry, Mike Love, or Joe Giles Harris just get that training camp per-diem summing to $6,400 plus food and housing etc.

Whats up w/ the Kelso helmet?  Concussion history?  Get one of these for Morse while theyre ordering

All DL and OL are wearing them. Pic of Morse with one yesterday. It is to minimize impact to head during practice.

it is Matakevich and he played very effectively on defense in Denver (15 snaps, 23%) and Miami home (40 snaps, 48%) games on defense and neither of them were injury games.

It is a Guardian Cap from a company that was competing with company Kelso was part of.

It wasn't so long ago I was hoping that one of 3 QBs would have a couple decent throws in training camp so that I could get myself optimistic for the season. The whole organization from top to bottom has had a total renaissance. This is how good teams run training camp. I'm not fumbling for excuses.

Also floated hospital ball on run to Diggs.

 

This is one area I would really like to see Allen improve on.

Diggs is not always going to protect himself so there are going to be times where Josh needs to do it for him.
