Rust. Remember he was injured most of last year, on a new team and an entirely new offensive scheme.

Horrible tackling. Dude has ZERO WIGGLE. The backup RBs all have looked better. I don't care if Waters is a Grad transfer, if he can't shake FCS players, he's really gonna struggle in the ACC. FYI, McCall finally warmed up.

McCall hasn't been sharp tonight, but that was a miscommunication. Conception looked to be running a choice route and settled, McCall threw to the spot where he would have been if the route was continued.

It was targeting.

Juan trying to be sneaky. I was wondering if anyone else would pick up on that.

Solid pass rushers don't get cut. I've looked at the cut lists and edge, especially OLB, is THIN.

Ah yes, the fabled Training Camp HOF. For some reason that honor rarely carries over to the regular season.

I knew Thomas wouldn't get cut.

I know we are stocked at RB, but Dwayne McBride got cut by the Vikings. He's a dude I wanted to draft. A really hard, north-south runner. He plays bigger than his actual stature. 3000 yards in two seasons and career 7.3 yards per carry.

Then, eventually, Bryce will get figured out and DBs will start sitting on routes. Even the short stuff will be highly contested.

Agreed, just wondering if there was any sentimental folks out there that would like another go around.

Touche'! You know what I meant though...

Our boy Matt Corral is available. Any takers?

We've got two weeks ahead of no football games and one series of an All-22 with Bryce for the entire preseason to break down. Not knit-picking, but it's all we have at this point. Young took the gimme throws that open to him. Great! We know he can do that. So my critique is will or can he push the ball down the field given the opportunity short of a blown coverage? We shall see--starting in two, long weeks.

The first 'L" in Bills. Leading a WR is a fundamental trait of a NFL QB. Diontae's route was sending him that way before the pass ultimately went to Adam. It wouldn't have been a across body throw per se, but Bryce would have needed to square his shoulders.

Let's see if he can and will 'exploit' it. Week 1 is around the corner.

Huh? Weaker than corner? Granted I haven't been on top of camp like in year's past, but CB seems like it was a huge problem from the vibes I was getting.

Thielen was open, no doubt, but there will be plays where more than one guy is open and that play was the one instance. This is a fact. Again, let's wait and see if this develops into a pattern. My view is a NFL QB can make tight window throws more than 20 yards down field, not only less than that. Bryce took the 'layup' on that play. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. It got a first down and kept the drive going. Cool. However, that was his M.O. last year and I want to see if he's actually developed. Again, I'll wait and see.

Yes, typically you carry WRs as the deepest position group in camp. True in terms of sheer numbers. Deepest as the best group? Then states possibly keeping 7, which is heavy, or wiping out the bottom of the WR room, which insinuates anything but deep. Canales got caught up in his coach speak. That's to say, talking about nothing while talking, but the words out of his mouth still have to make sense.

??????? Word salad.

Thielen obviously was open, but Diontae was 'NFL open'. Let's see if this turns into a pattern then, okay?

Dude was a rookie, injured almost the entire duration of camp which stunted his development. He was shuffled in and out of the lineup on a dysfunctional OL unit while continuing to battle injuries. Zavala got dealt a bad hand last year, as did a lot of players. This year is his real first season. I look at last year like a medical redshirt where he struggled to get reps due to injuries and was forced into the lineup when he clearly wasn't ready mentally or physically.

The safety would have to stop on a dime and change direction. If he could have done that and fielded it like a punt then our QB doesn't have a deep ball. I'm not saying it was the wrong play, it was another option. Most plays have more than one option, FYI. At some point Bryce has got to push the ball down field or DBs will start jumping routes with little concern of getting beat deep. You woke up on the wrong side of the bed I see, lol.

I'm okay with this. It was a positive result. I want to see his mid-to-long range game though. From last season, we all know Bryce is fairly solid in the short game.
