Granted a speed receiver doing a 1 on 1 drill vs Douglas isn't exactly a fair fight but still. 

Nice.  The kid has real speed....and a very nice catch.  Readjusted his route while tracking the ball, still going full speed....that's exactly what we want to see from a speed receiver.

 

Just makes you want to lol whenever someone refers to DJax as a "one trick pony".

We should just sign 1991 Heath Sherman and hand him the ball four times per series — all day long. 

If he was guaranteed to gain 3+ yards each carry? Absolutely

Surprised some intrepid sports reporter hasn’t reported on whether the Pats continue to use TB12 this season and whether the Bucs are using TB12.

With myself and a few others saying starters should play more lol

 

Reporters are allowed to watch practice as long as it’s outside starting Monday, so we will at least start to get something

Now it’s the two best offensive skill position players.   That’s not what you posted.  And then you tell me "learn to read”.  You posted "best player”.  Man.  You’re f-ing dumb.  Dumb and inconsistent and senile.  Senile as ish.   
 

That’s all.  I gotta read the posts from other posters agreeing with me that you’re wrong. Again!   
 

Go wipe down the workout benches again.  

Wtf are you talking about? Sorry I’m not willing to ship off the best and most consistent player on the team... 

Have a good day Biff

Personally, I don't see Thomas moving the needle here.  But the article makes some interesting points.

Couldn't they just space them out inside?

I feel like I don't know anything this offseason

No. They have capacity limits

Forgot about that. Some states still have strong restrictions and some don't

Still feel like we don't know much of anything that's happened in training camp

Not sure how this is different from the Rutgers test last spring.  88-94% accurate is not bad.  Nice to see the creators are giving away the process.  String said test could be done for $4 each.  Suggestion was this could be a cheap test at $10 each and we could watch out for gouging knowing this.  Think about $10 each for something that costs you $4.  That’s 150% profit.  That is one of the things wrong with medicine.  It is so hard to shop price.  I go the the grocery store and have choices.  I can compare prices as well as health information.  That doesn’t really happen in medicine.  

I gotta say the Progressive ads with the guy making sure new homeowners don't become their parents are getting funnier.  Latest one has him taking a group to Home Depot and hits on a couple things that are spot on.

Only makes sense if JJAW is a complete washout and cut.

It also has to do with the tier system the NFL put in place. Reporters and beat writers fall outside the top two tiers so they aren’t allowed inside locker rooms, indoor practice facilities etc. since they aren’t getting tested at all besides temperature checks

I’d rather the young guys get playing time. We have 3 rookies, a second year 2nd rounder, and a decent looking UDFA. Let’s see what they can do. Only way to see if they can play is to see them play.

Pardon my ignorance but I don't understand the benefit of more testing.  All we are going to find out is that a heck of a lot more people have Covid.  That will make the death rate seem even smaller no?  A headline this morning was that California just hit 600,000 confirmed cases.  What happens when it says 1 million cases?  It's going to cause even more fear for half the country.  

Can someone explain what good it does?  Not trying to be a smarta$$ here just really don't get it.

1) Every day people won’t have to wait a week-plus for results. And the price is affordable. 

2) For pro and college teams, the affordable price and quick results make it more feasible to have more testing to limit outbreaks.

1. Better contact tracing.
 

2. Make it more available, less painful and cheaper for those who aren’t getting tested. 
 

If there are 400K more people with COVID wouldn’t you want to know? 
 

It’s also all in the twitter thread if you want to just read it.

Why is your biggest issue how this will look?

They are trying to do the work of getting the virus under control.
