Well it was nice going to training camp yesterday and meeting up with boo. We started off the day by going to the beacon and ingesting a heart attack waiting to happen. Nonetheless it was pretty good and we went on to training camp before the players started coming out.

As you can see in this pic when we first arrived Danny Morrison was meeting and greeting with the fans. Boo just snuck up on him to take a pic, of what body part of his ? I don't know. But Boo was just looking so hot with her face painted so I knew if I didnt post the pic I would get a bunch of Pics or STFU.

Cute huh? well you didn't see it in the pic but boo had a cute panther tail on her ass too :ihih:

Anyways on to the observations.

I spent most of my team focused in on the Offense more then on the Defense so most of my observations are based on that.

Qbs: Jimmy was lighting it up last night. Pass after pass of rockets down the field with some errant passes mixed in. I don't know what changed in him but after fanfest looking at the tape must have lit a fire in his ass because he looked in command of the offense for once.

Cam was off the mark on most of his passes in 11 on 11 drills. Most of his completions were slants and a couple of post patterns but his out routes and corner routes were totally off the mark. Even Olsen couldn't make the grab in the corner of the endzone. He just had an off day just like everybody else. But what made me excited was seeing his energy and his determination in working on the mistakes he made and trying to improve himself. Its going to be fun to watch these 2 battle during the preseason.

Derek Anderson only had a couple of reps during the 11 on 11 drills and seemed a bit off but I guess it's to be expected? I just didn't see any thing to really write about pretty meh.

Rbs: These 4 backs on the roster are really fun to watch. Watching D-will squirt through the holes in the OL (yes TWSS) was nice to see. Jstew was looking like a monster yesterday popping a couple of Defensive players in the mouth. Sutton is just such an underrated player. The guy looks almost as shifty as D-will and has some real power to his his small frame. Goodson was having an off day to me. He was quick as his usual self on kickoff returns and ST but 11 on 11 he was getting stopped at the line time and time again. Was it the Dt's? Im not sure but he just couldn't get it going.

Wr: Naanee is a guy to watch. Errant pass after errant pass the guy was just clutch. Going after the ball and just taking it out of the air, was fun to see. Lafell looked pretty good, he caught every pass that hit his hands which is more then I can say for the last couple of practices of his. I didnt get to see Gettis much, I'm not sure if he got injured early or what but he wasn't on the field much. Edwards had a couple of good grabs but I didnt see much from him on 11 on 11 drills. One guy I did see a lot on the second teamers was Pilares.

Man is this guy quick. He looks like he has some real potential. How if he is the odd man out will we be able to stash him on the practice squad is beyond me.

TE: man what can I say. Olsen is huge!!! Him and both Shockey looked pretty good yesterday. Olsen just gets open and has some of the greatest hands I have ever seen. The guy is going to be a big time Goal Line threat. It's going to be really hard to stop these 2 Tight ends on game days. It's really nice to have some more weapons on this team besides Steve Smith and our Runningbacks.

OL: Man are we a little thin at this position with quality depth. I am really hoping they just gave Otah a day off for rest and he isnt injured again. But what I can say for his replacement, Lee Ziemba, is he is a freak. The guy is massive and made Everette Brown look like a peewee football player. It was ridiculous how he was man handling him and even Norwood sometimes. They guy is a steal. Besides him nobody else really stood out.

Random observations of the Defense:

I will say one thing about our linebackers, they are intense for every drill. Louder then anybody else on the team. It would have been nice to see Thomas Davis in pads but at least his injuries arent too bad. But this core is a solid group and is the strongest position on the Defense with the leadership and the talent to go a long with it.

Charles Johnson is a freak of nature. They guy didn't turn down his motor all practice. Even though he got paid a boatload him having a chip on his shoulder for the naysaysers is going to be good for us on D especially with no other proven pass rusher that I saw on the D-line.

I will say it was nice to see Chirs Gamble back in pads especially with Captain being out and the rest of the corners basically being 3rd stringers. Gamble seemed a bit off to me but I don't know. It's possible the coaching staff wanted him to take it easy.

But the secondary looks weak and thin and worries me a little. Watching Olsen wide open in the middle of the field to score a TD seemed like it was way too easy and it might be a big problem if we don't fix some of the mistakes.

All in all it was awesome to come to camp and sit there knowing we are going to have a football season this year with a new coaching staff and new players .

Speaking of coaching staff the drills and such seemed to me to be a lot more organized then last year when I went. It was almost like they were part of the military but I guess Rivera's influence shows in that. It was nice to see how about business the team is right now and I hope we can show something positive from that on gamedays.

Well that's it folks and I know it's not even close to as good as a tattoorhino observation thread but oh well.

Pics to come later in the evening.

That pic makes you look like two of the whitest people in existence, or the grayest in a quote box.

(Translation: not seeing it)

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
