Training Camp Thread...

[Cotton]

I hate you.

 

[p1_]

I would feel so much better if we had one more safety, one more run stopper, one more TE and one more WR, though.

We have 5 TE's currently, why you want more?

 

[p1_]

DT is a different story with the Collins injury and Irving's continued idiocy.

And yet, the staff stands pat and does ZERO to address the glaring weakness. Like Booze says...laziest front office ever.

Yea, I mean I was more implying that I think that adding someone at DT is much more likely than at WR. It would probably be another Brian Price type though, it won't be a flashy name.

But at least that would be better than standing pat.

One more established guy. Like if we had, for example, traded for Cameron Brate.

 

[Couchcoach]

Really pumped that the season is about to get kicked off. But I have absolutely no idea what to expect this year. Too many uncertainties with Dak, WR, TE, and DT.
Does Dak step up now that Zeke is back? Probably
This WR and TE group Iooks like a total shot in the dark IMO
And once again we start the season with no run stuffer at 1 tech. Hoping Collins is 100% soon. And who knows what to expect from Irving.
My optimism is guarded after what we've seen for so long.
Don't tell me, show me!

Why would Tampa trade Brate? They just signed the guy to an extension.

Exactly how I feel.

Usually, every year recently has felt the same. You almost know we would be around a .500 team and maybe get the benefit of some luck to do something else, but always fail with the playoffs.

This year I really have no expectations because everything has been turned over so drastically. Or at least what it appears to be at least.

It is definitely more intriguing to begin with, but it could turn to a flaming pile of shit in a hurry if they didn't get some of these decisions right.

They wouldn’t, just talking about a situation like that were there may be a quality young player hidden behind a first round pick like OJ Howard.

Yeah. There are always situations like that.

It is a wide open world.

You know, just like when there are good head coaches that someone could just hire.

They are out there, and stuff.

I am very apprehensive about this years team. The lack of experience on the offense side of the ball where it’s needed is just plain scary.

Obviously we won't see much of Zeke until the actual season starts. I'll be shocked if he gets more than 10 preseason carries. That being said, I'm really interested in seeing what the younger RBs have to offer. Chunn is my dark horse for making the roster.

He's a physical runner who I think will look even better behind the Cowboys OL.

The key will be how well he's able to handle pass protection duties.

The RB I am looking forward to seeing most is Bo. I think he has great potential behind this line in a part-time role. He is shifty and can bruise up a defense.

 

[Texas Ace]

If this pic does not get you excited for camp, then you are just dead inside:

Even if I didn't hate the guy for being such a shit HC, this picture alone would be enough to illicit a negative reaction out of me.

Imagine having to go through life looking like that.

I'm leery about Alabama RBs. A lot of fools gold from that group.

 

[Texas Ace]

Yup.

Mark Ingram is the only successful one in recent memory, and even he isn't anything special.

I would be, too, if the plan was for him to be our lead back. Since he will be playing in a limited role as a complement back, I think his skill set is a perfect fit. It should be fun to watch if they use him properly.

 

[Angrymesscan]

I thought Henry did ok...
