Also, I've told y'all about Corral months ago, so I'm not buying into all the Darnold or Baker hype. One or the other may start the season, but they won't be finishing it. 

I hope you are right. We need it.

Discounting BC so soon, eh? Your opinion seems to be at odds with Campen's. Indeed, PFF scored him in the mediocre range his rookie season, and I'd expect him to get better.

I don't expect much. I will accept being wrong. Never can have too many quality OL.

But, no, my hopes for BC are that he eventually becomes a good backup.

I mean...it's mini camp, not training camp. I wouldn't get too excited unless we saw a major injury. That's about the only thing that should really move the needle.

Great play or terrible play....meh. We will see what happens in TC.

I'm not saying to expect him to be an All-Pro, but you sound like you're taking the glass-half-empty perspective before the kid can even show you what he's got.  Now I don't have a PFF subscription, but I'll take an inferior site's word for it (I won't link it because I know there is/used to be some discrimination here against the site, but you can look it up if you want):

"Outside of Brady Christensen’s Week 7 spot start at left tackle, he didn’t start there again until Weeks 16-18. And how did he perform in those three games against pretty stiff competition from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (twice) and the New Orleans Saints? His average pass block grade in Weeks 16-18 from PFF was a solid 73."

The an inferior site article was pretty scathing in reference to Rhule wasting snaps on obviously inferior vetarans, by the way.

He didn't show much that much in limited time. He strikes me as a project without a clear landing spot.

I will point out that Mike Wahle looked at some tape(older 4 Man Rush podcast) and came away with largely the opinion that the gulf was noticeable between him becoming a quality NFL OL and where he was last year. He didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about his prospects.

Yeah I just mean from a media coverage standpoint. I guess Tepper or Rhule are still being uptight about it, like they have some genius play calls they don't want the world to see

Yeah, I don't expect coverage to ever be as good as it was pre-Tepper.

Im truly concerned for Xavier Woods and his family... this is a long time away from the team for a new player.  Espeically when it was just supposed to be the birth of his child.
