7-28 Camp Thread

So far glad to hear about:

 

Cams accuracy and touch.

 

Barner picking up the game.  (lets see if he can protect as well as Sproles)

 

Lafell cementing his spot as #2.

 

Ginn having decent hands.  (always been his issue)

 

 

So far a little worried about:

 

Smith and the drops and not much overall talk about him.  (he may just be taking it easy, but that's not like him)

 

Our O Line.

 

Our secondary.

Cant wait to see how we use Barner. He has a lot of potential to be the steal of the draft.

May have been said before, but I think we got a poor man's Tavon Austin with this pick.

 

then again, Tavon Austin could be a poor man's Kenjon Barner...

Kugbilla is a D-2 project. He tweaked his hamstring. Stop acting like we drafted the guy #1 overall and he blew out his knee in practice.

You need some hobbies away from the interwebs.

Not sure what you mean by that.

[TheRumGone]

really happy to hear about Norman and Godfrey being so vocal. We need a leader back there.

[Gabeking]

is he that cat with 2 first names? never met the guy......

You're funny man VERY FUNNY!!!

[La Pantera]

Not sure what you mean by that.

.....not sure if serious...

[The Golden Child]

excited about the LaFell reports as well

Sexually?

[CatMan72]

Yeah LaFell looked good, didn't see him drop a pass

[bleys]

You're funny man VERY FUNNY!!!

 

thanks man, that means a lot...  I hear Jerry Seinfeld is hilarious...  if you haven't heard of him you might want to check out some of his youtube videos...

[PantherGuy]

I'm being serious. I must be missing something. Said Barner might be a poor man's Tavon Austin because we clearly selected Barner later than the Rams took Austin, but they are similar players.

[CatMan72]

The other guy I want to mention is Colin Cole... saw him taking on 2 blockers on several occasions and hold his ground, definite space eater.

And Smith broke his arm twice in less than 6 or so months if I remember right.  That is far worse than a freakin' pulled hamstring.

 

You can't have a double standard here.  You can't criticize Kugbila for pulling a hammy in an NFL practice (and seriously, it is a hamstring dude, not exactly rare for a 300+ pounder to pull on occasion) and then say Smith breaking his arm in flag football vs. randoms is irrelevant or imply it.

 

Yes, Smith hasn't had an injury riddled career.  But if Smith had broken his arm playing football right before his debut, would you have called him injury prone?  You haven't even let Kugbila play an NFL game yet.  

Also, "injuries" is a bit pushing it.  You make it sound like this something severe.  It was a tweaked knee from what I remember that likely led to his pulled hamstring.  It is seriously nothing.

 

EDIT - Didn't see the posts before I posted but because this isn't the thread for this, I'm done with the argument.  But pretty much writing Kugbila off because of a pulled hamstring in practice is one of the silliest things I have read on this site (and I have read some ridiculous stuff mind you).

 

I'd just like to quote this to say how wrong it is. Hamstrings can linger for a whole season. Especially someone who is 320lbs and plays a position where the hamstring is vital. Also bone heals quicker than muscle.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Kugbila end up on IR
