Training Camp

[Shiningstar]

i dont know if theres going to be a training camp, so far talk is, there will be a season. if anyone wants to throw in updated news, have at it.

Heres my discussion.

Which position battles are you interested in and who in your opinion, wins, than if you want to flesh out your roster, have at it as well.

the only ones im really concerned with are, DEs, because right now i dont know what kind of dfense is going to be installed, but getting to the QB is always good, tho i prefer interceptions more. anyone excited over the linebackers? Cbs? WRs? for the most part i feel they are locked in, but id like to hear others opinions or who has the updated info.

Interested in the Center battle.

The cornerbacks should be spirited.

Who wins out at LG will be kind of a big deal. Same for DT.

Corner and Interior Oline intrigue me the most. Both spots we have a lot of good options but no slame dunk options. You loterally could argue for 4 or 5 different guys at both spots. Rookies, veterans and returning players.

RE is obviously very interesting if our two suspended guys jump in the mix.

DT is kind of set, no?

Not really a battle, but I am curious as to what happens in our defensive backfield. Who lands at S? Who ends up being the starting CBs, etc.

Center/LG/CB are the camp battles that will be of primary interest, along with whatever shakes out with Awuzie moving to safety or staying at CB. Nobody can tell you with certainty who will be starting at those three positions.

I feel like the battle will be between Woods/Awuzie if he does move to safety, it's hard for me to see Clinton-Dix not starting in some form or fashion.

I feel good even if Looney is the center for this year. I think the battles will matter more this year since MM wont just play his favorites. Any upgrades to certain positions at this point is just icing on the cake. I think the team was good last year, i just dont feel Garrett utilized it correctly. IM hoping MM can.

I think he’s getting his popcorn out waiting for the inevitable mindless spin and eventual release of Hill.

do you really think they'll dump him so soon? Especially at a position where there's so little depth.

He's a progress stopper for Gallimore unless he steps up. I think we have DL depth, but lack a starter at DE

He's not a progress stopper at all.

A progress stopper is a mediocre veteran who takes snaps away from a young up and comer who needs to play so he can get better.

He's no progress stopper for anybody. A progress stopper is somebody that takes playing time from another player. Nothing about Hill and his lack of playing time or even being active on game day says 'progress stopper'.

Guess I should have read the rest of the thread before replying, you magnificent time stamping bastard.

Can’t blame a veteran for playing as long as they are allowed.

The starters on paper, yes. But if Poe is out of shape...that might change things. His ability to be solid seems to be just as important to our plan as McCoy.

Who is blaming the veteran?

 

[L.T. Fan]

Who is blaming the veteran?

You are. You say the veteran is a progress stopper.

To clarify: nobody is blaming anybody. It's the front office and coaching staff's job to recognize the situation and move on.
