Training Camp Thread...

I actually forgot about White.

As for Jones, he's athletic but I need to see it first. I'm still a bit butt hurt that we used a 1st round pick on him.

Nothing he did in college screams NFL caliber player.

I'm glad he's coming into a competitive situation. A lot of 1st rounders (especially on this team) get penciled in as starters on day one. Jones has an uphill battle to be a starting corner, and is probably in a fight with Claiborne just to be the 3rd corner. (unless we shift Jones to safety in which case he's still facing an entrenched starter.) I think a guy who was drafted mostly on potential needs that.

Disregard. It was just a quick look-in.

For two seconds then they flipped to Jameis Winston.

Damn, that's a good dime formation.

I wouldn't mind seeing that as our standard 3rd and long package.

Get used to it. Once he starts getting in slow speed chases all the networks will be flipping over to him.

Yeah, but for the first month, someone will need to take Hardy's place.

It would be nice if someone like Jack Crawford or Ryan Russell can step up and be a surprise.

It seems to me that Marinelli will phase out the base 4-3 and run with more of a NASCAR rush alignment. That explains why he devalues the nose tackle position so much.

I see bust all over that guy, but that's just me.

What?

Talk about hating on a player.

It's not hating. When I pulled up all the highlight videos for Jones he looked average. He didn't make many "wow" plays.

They did that shit last night, too.

I agree.

I see the same thing for Mariota.

My other "hot take" prediction on the year, this will be the year that Peyton Manning takes a huge step back.

We are not going to be great at stopping a power running game. I really hope Murray is as busted as we all think he is.

He's not wrong. I saw UCONN play multiple times in the last 2 years and nobody ever stood out.

The fact that he was a consensus 1st round projection says both of you are wrong.

Come on not a NFL caliber player, he might not be very good but saying he shown nothing is way out there.

But then you were spot on about T Smith, so there is that.

I was referring to OJ Simpson style car chases.

This might be a good idea for our primers forum. A hot take article on various players. You could be the first. You wanna write up something on Manning as to why you think it's his recession year?
