Has Christensen taken any reps on the line for special teams yet?

Pride and Smith won't be on the practice squad after the first month of games. Someone will poach them for sure.

There's a lot of truth to this.

I think we're going to be happily surprised with Morgan Fox this year. I like YGM but I think the new guy Fox is about to make some noise in the league.

Probably has more to do with Rogers ego more than anything else. He can do almost anything, but he should know that running isn't playing to his strengths.

May both Cosmo Girl and Jimmy Rest In Peace. They'll get to see us win the Lombardi Trophy through the greatest SkyCam ever.

Can't argue about the violence. That first 15 minutes were brutal and totally unexpected!

Maybe practices in Alabama's January weather are much easier than practices in South Carolina's July/August weather. Heat is tough on the big'uns.

Won't give any spoilers, but what did you think? Tons of laugh out loud moments, surprises throughout and good story. Bringing back one of the old time world-threatening supervillains was great.

First half, first half, first quarter. He's got to get out there and prove himself to the team. The questionable offensive line also needs as much practice as possible with him to learn his tendencies under real pressure and to understand his line calls. The only guy who should get any sort of complete bench time in the pre-season is CMC.

It's all imaginary money. Ask the Saints.

There's quite a herd of them. Lot of meat weight on the hoof, but I'll be darned if there's a prime animal in the bunch.

Can't this monstrosity die?

Man, I'm working through a mortgage and getting two kids ready for college. Can't even imagine doing something so foolish.

Honestly, our punt returner(s) didn't get much work last season. I sure hope that has changed. Still, you'd think by this point we'd be seeing something about an unsung player making moves to be the returner. Just hearing crickets chirp at the moment.

We are what they say we are until we prove them otherwise. And it's Madden, not real football.

Division 78 QB?

Who?

Sorry, but Phillip Rivers is basically the same guy as Matthew Stafford. Media loves him, everyone says he's great and an asset to any team. Reality says he's an 8-8 QB who somehow survived numerous coaching changes.

No training camp goes on without a fight or two. Let's move along.

Let Moton work at LT some in training camp, let him try it for the first couple of pre-season games. Unless he is playing at Pro Bowl (real Pro Bowl, not just popularity contest pro bowl) level, go back to RT with him. Moton is a fantastic RT, that is a known performance level. If he can't achieve that on the LT side, then you have to put him where he is absolutely the best. Then you put the best LT candidate you have on the left side and scheme to assist them whenever possible.

It may be that Darnold is one of those Rhule is targetting with that ass-chewing. If Zod is calling him out for holding onto the ball too long, you know the coaches have seen it and discussed it at length among their meetings. This was a reclamation project at QB. It's going to take more than a spot of paint and some landscaping to make him viable again. Hope Rhule can get Darnold repaired before September.

Let's hope he has a busy season and that statistic barely budges. That's just astounding!

I think we may be looking for someone during camp cuts. The loss of Walker and/or Grier won't be hard to recover from. There's going to be a smart young kid that ends up on the wrong side of some team's math and hopefully we'll grab him. Walker and Grier offer us nothing either as relief pitchers or for the future.

Let's take a hard look at our QB room. Honestly, we have three backups in there between Darnold, Walker and Grier. And chances are good that two of them really aren't the quality you need to hold a clipboard and be ready to come into a game and not lose it after the starting QB is injured. I know, I put Darnold in there. Right now, his performance with the Jets would have him headed to the pool of back-up QB candidates in most seasons. We're taking a flier on him that he can be coached back up, but until we get a couple of games into the season, that's still a crap shoot. We're hoping we find a Favre or Brees needing a new home, but honestly its just as likely we have a Rosen or Colt McCoy on our hands. I hope he'll be good or even great, but chances aren't good for QB flops in their second home. Walker and Grier aren't cusp players, they are cusp pros. They are just hanging on to the possibility of being in an NFL uniform much less actually playing in a game. If you have to send one of these guys into a game, pray the defense can somehow run out the clock. If you have to start one of them for any period of time, it's time to look at the next draft class while possibly polishing up the coaching resumes. This isn't a great situation going into the season. Maybe it will work out. Hope so.
