Seems teams are banning players from Tweeteringing (wtfever it is) while at camp.

SOME are going so far as to ban Media from Tweeterianing as well.

ESPN is cracking down on their reporters tweeting opinions.

Adam_Schefter Giants were ultra Twitter friendly. Others? Not so much. Nine teams have banned practice tweets: Atl, Buf, Cin, Ind, KC, NE, NO, StL, Sea

Adam_Schefter Add Detroit to list of NFL teams that ban media from twittering from practice. That's 10 teams all together. That's unnecessary something.

It's very interesting to see how this will play out.

While it's only 120 letters or so, some decent info can flow out of camp.

Look how fast Kemo's injury was announced.

If a team wanted to keep something under wraps, it would be next to impossible right now.

I thought that there was an NFL edict stating no live blogging from practices? Wouldn't Tweeting seem to follow that policy? I do think it was silly of SD to fine Cromartie for whining about the food. I would fine guys for putting out injury type info other than what was publicly released by the team or talking about team policies or such (be it blog or twitter), but not something petty like that.

Maybe it will work to a teams advantage as we progress. John Fox can come up with some disinformation about smith or Peppers being hurt and then Bam! They are on the field for the game. the FF people would hate this though.

Probably an intern doing searches for Pats realted stuff on Twitter.

and poo like that.

Yeah they don't need video dudes anymore. Gotta find something for those peeps to do! :P

To Inimicus: Pats routinely limit reporters access to their practices in preseason and reg season. They are famous for allowing reporters to see only lame chit like stretching as their allotted portion.

That's cheating!

j/k

I think they can ban players from tweeting during working hours (practices, meetings) and discussing actual team news.

But they can't ban reporters from tweeting (except during live games I think.)

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
