Kickalicious destroyed Lions training camp, loses to Akers who pretty much cost the Lions the playoffs. Lions still have no reliable FG kicker, why not get the guy who did really loving good last year?!

Shocking!quote:The Detroit Free Press reports first-round TE Eric Ebron has dropped "an inordinate number" of passes through spring and the first two days of camp.

Atticus Finch posted:It didn't have to. If you gave Johnson the contract he currently has with the Bucs, you could very easily have given an extension to Burfict and had money left over. Green is with the team for 2 years, minimum. Dalton could be with the team for one extra year. Both deals can be extended with the franchise tag. None of that even takes into account the growing cap number. Johnson also wasn't 280 lb (now 290+ lb) monster who is both the strongest guy on the team yet also runs (unofficial) 4.51 forty. I'd be very surprised if Hunt didn't at least match Johnson's 2013 performance this year. Carlos Dunlap is taking RDE spot. pigdog fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Jul 30, 2014 |

Prepare to be very surprised because that's a lot to ask for. I know Dunlap is taking Johnson's spot, that's part of the problem of seeing Hunt as Johnson's replacement.

Blitz7x posted:Good lord what an awful pick. Not nearly this bad. Ebron was the highest ranked TE on almost everyone's board. he got drafted a little too highly but he had a lot of potential and wasn't too far of a stretch. DHB was a late first rounder at best and was taken higher with the best prospect WR still on the board.

A few sources were convinced that Baltimore was very high on Ebron. Considering their 1st round offensive track record it would make sense if he sucked. On the topic of big men who can't catch footballs how has Kelvin Benjamin looked in camp?

The DHB pick was extra fun because Al Davis had fully devolved into cliche by that point and everyone called it before it happened.

I never heard anything about Ebron having drop problems.The Puppy Bowl posted:A few sources were convinced that Baltimore was very high on Ebron.

Has had one drop all camp, but banged his knee and got a bone bruise. He looks like our best receiver by far (admittedly this doesn't say much, but still) Atticus Finch posted:Injured. He's missed one practice and shouldn't be gone too long. They're just beings super careful because, again, he's currently their best wideout.

Some fighting going on at Bengals training camp, LB Emmanuel Lamur threw a punch at G Clint Boling and hit AJ Green instead (that's kind of a no-no)

Yeah Lamur is pretty important to the team. And it sounds more like Boling/Lamur had the fight and AJ was a part of trying to break it up and that's when he was pushed. When that happened the crowd yelled "NOT AJ!" lol

Seems like a lot of training camps have been getting fairly chippy. Lamarr Houston has been involved in three already throughout OTAs and training camp.

Raise your hand if your training camp has the "more physical than last year" vibe going for it. There was zero hitting during the Shanahan era and the defense definetely looked like they never hit anybody. Anyway maybe that's the reason for all the fighting. Or the heat, heat makes people crazy.

Things get chippy every year. It's not really a new thing at all. You've got a mix of a bunch of new guys desperately trying to prove they can make a roster, guys on the bubble desperately trying to stay on the roster, and veterans trying to prove they've still got it. The surprising part is that there isn't even more people getting chippy during camp.

The reports I've seen from people at camp watching ASJ have been pretty positive. Not the best blocker for his size, and conditioning is not where it could be, but he's been good as a pass catching TE so far.

Tweets I saw were just discussing him dropping balls a lot, but I haven't looked at the last few days. Chichevache posted:Isn't the learning curve for TEs supposed to be similar to that of receivers, in that they usually take a season or two to look NFL ready? Worse. Really nobody should expect anything from a rookie TE. They need to learn all the routes like the WRs, and then all the run and pass blocking assignments too.

There have been some reports that weight room champion Lawrence Okoye is showing signs of improvement in padded practice. In fact, he managed to completely bowl over the offensive lineman across from him with his bull rush. That offensive lineman? Jonathan Martin. lol

It's funny partly because Green has been surprisingly durable considering his frame. You'd think he had Percy Harvin's injury history based on how everyone freaks out.

Remember before 2012 when Raiders fans were all talking poo poo about Crabtree like 'I guess Al Davis knew what he was doing after all  ' and then Crabtree promptly puts up a 1000 yard season once Kaepernick takes over the starting job? That was pretty funny.
