This thread is to chat about the goings on...going ons...the stuff happening at rookie mini camps, OTA's and training camp. Miami is taking a very different approach to rookie mini camps: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2016/05/miami-dolphins-unveiling-a-radical-idea-for-rookie-minicamp.html quote:The Miami Dolphins will have their eight draft picks and 10 undrafted free agents in town beginning Thursday, and rookie minicamp will go from Friday to Sunday. And the rookies will not touch the field at the team's training facility once during those three days.

I would be down with Bengals stealing Miami's idea. (First time I've ever thought that, for sure.)

So the Patriots convinced offensive line god Dante Scarrnecchia to come back after a two year hiatus in which the Patriots OL fell to pieces. He gave his introductory interview, and boy does he sound... tired quote:“It is a tough decision. You get pretty used to a very nice lifestyle. I’m going to tell you, I like retiring now. Retirement was great. It was a lot of fun. We saw things we hadn’t seen ever, took trips, and spent a lot of time with our grandkids. All that was great. To a degree, it’s very, very, hard to give up,” he said. Please just last until Brady retires Dante.

The rookie mini camp is fun to follow along on Twitter, but I question how useful it actually is. At best, you start hearing some buzz about an UDFA who then disappears completely when training camp begins. The stuff Gase has planned seems like a potentially more productive use of the limited time teams are allotted to spend with their rookies. I also like that this is evidence that Gase isn't afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and approach things from a new perspective. lol we'll have a new coach in 3 years

And figuratively put a bullet behind Marcus Cannon's ear. My camp predictions: 4th round WR Malcolm Mitchell re-injures his previously injured knees 7th round WR Devin Lucien is talked up like Randy Moss 2.0 for making a diving sideline grab in 7-on-7 drills

Jesus Christ that sounds like he does not want to be there. Poor old dude just wants to play with his grand kids. Also I can't believe he had to pay for tickets after coaching for the team for decades. Christ NFL teams are cheap.

https://twitter.com/BairCSN/status/727962238879866880/photo/1 This is great news. Edwards was a pretty controversial second round pick last year but once he started after Justin Tuck's injury, he had a very good rookie season before being shut down with a neck injury that was called career threatening. Raiders have been very Al Davis-like Cloak-and-Dagger on his status since.

I find it real interesting that on Sirius XM Ross Tucker was going on about how rookies don't get a break from summer practices their senior (or last) year until their first NFL offseason about 2 weeks ago. It seemed out of the blue and I wonder if it's something that was discussed during the owners meeting or during the draft in inner circles

I went to the Chargers rookie minicamp yesterday. Some of the highlights I could see: Joey Bosa (DE and yes he lined up at DE in 3-4 formations despite what the pundits think he should do) was held out of about half the plays because he wrecked the rookies bad whenever he went all-out. He ended the day blowing up a TE and guard and sacked the QB. Hunter Henry (TE) was a beast on offense. He didn't drop a single pass in his general direction (the rookie QBs can't throw accurately worth a poo poo) and outran the OLBs and Safeties that were on him. He really doesn't belong out there with the rookies and is probably more main roster-ready than even Bosa. Max Tuerk (C) was present and did some limited individual exercises since he's still rehabbing from his ACL tear. I got to talk to him after the session was over. Really nice kid, excited out of his mind to be there despite the injury and was really happy someone talked to him because he wasn't getting anyone coming over. Philip Rivers showed up with some of his kids. He wasn't allowed to throw, but his kids did, and it's really weird seeing them have the same sidearm throw motion that Philip does. At some point the announcer was giving shout-outs to the head coaches. Ken Whisenhunt got a huge pop from the crowd. It was actually louder than when Rivers was announced to be there. My mom got a Bosa jersey. Derek Watt (FB) looks like the real deal. Aside from being a lead blocker, he was pretty good at catching passes too. There's also another one that was picked out of the UDFA pool, Chris Swain, who also did pretty well so there will be competition for that position. The new punter Drew Kaser can loving kick. Needs some work on shorter punts, but he looks a sight better than old-man Mike Scifres (I still blame Donald Brown for getting him murdered, he was never the same after that). Mike McCoy is really uncomfortable talking to fans and it's plainly obvious he'd rather be doing literally anything else. It's not like he's a dick, just that he doesn't really know how to talk to a crowd. I don't blame him, it's really hard to do well. The UDFA and FA quarterbacks the team picked up are bad. Mike Bercovici, and yes I looked up how to spell his name, had good pocket awareness and avoided a sack with a really nice sidestep but overthrew his pass. For the most part, accuracy is his biggest problem. He's got a good arm but placement is completely off (over and underthrown all the time). The fact that Hunter Henry still caught every pass thrown his way is pretty incredible. Dexter McCoil, safety from CFL, did surprisingly well. He might have a real chance to make the roster if Jatavis Brown doesn't work out as a hybrid LB/S. aperion fucked around with this message at 22:44 on May 15, 2016 |
