The Mini Camp Thread....(updated Sunday)

[monstercat]

its not the mistakes its that connor is younger and can be better than him..to me it would be a waste for him just to sit on the bench as a backup MLB

Maybe Connor can be better than Diggs in the future, but until he proves it on the field, Diggs should be the starter. And looking good in one mini camp practice does not qualify as proving it on the field.

I'm just glad he is on our roster and not improving some other team. besides...if heaven forbid beason gets injured, I would want connor backing him up

[HSCBandit07]

that unless brit miller is ready to go. He reminds me of dan morgan minus the injuries

What defensive scheme are they running?

i only saw about 5-10 mins of "scrimmage" time and i would assume cover 2. the db's were playing off and barnadge(sp) was getting a lot of receptions over the middle. the wr's were also working the short routes a lot, but imo, the day was very lax and not too intense. what i mostly saw was position groups working amongst themselves rather than 11-on-11 play. also, for those that were there, where are fox and meeks at? i saw the position coaches but don't recall seeing either coordinators or fox.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Johnson was Diggs backup, and Connor was playing the weak side behind Davis last year?

i know this but he should at least get the opp on the left side...instead of just going in as the backup in the middle.

Johnson was Diggs backup last year, I can't remember where Connor was but I thought coming into the season he was listed as the backup MLB.

Thanks for all the updates.

Anybody got anything on Sherrod Martin?

You guys forget during this Diggs/Connor argument that Fox favors starting veterans.

I favor starting Vets too. Why fix it if it aint broke? Man Diggs might be old but the dude played very well last year and also was on ST.

There is a reason that Fox would rather start veterans at most positions...they don't make nearly as many mental mistakes. His first rounders almost always start though.

should we expect brown to start since a first + was traded for him?

[HSCBandit07]

godfrey started last year....just throwing that out there

[posthumecaver]

It is nice to hear Connor is recovered....

There was no news about his rehab and I was not expecting that he would be ready for mini camp....
