I know this is nit picking (regarding leadership)

I know, it doesn't mean much at all.

But every year at the beginning of mini camp you could count on two things.

1. Many players dragging ass on the way up the hill.

2. Jake hustling past them, and watching the dragging ass players start running.

Didn't see that this time. Many players dragging ass. No one ran by them. They kept walking.

Yeah, its a tiny little thing, but to me it says a bit.

I wouldn't call that nit picking at all, that is a serious problem. Someone needs to step into the leadership role big time.

however, not having the leaders at the mini camp could prove opportunity for some other guys to step up and show a willingness to lead... which is likely. If that fails, then when the vets we do have participate they'll take on the mantle.

Zod just started a pro-Jake thread.

Hell just called, they want to know why it's snowing.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
