bpac55 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Training camp sure has changed. All these rules about when they can wear pads and such and how much they can practice. Not sure I understand the point of "veteran days". It's the 3rd day of TC, you haven't even put shells on yet and have practiced for maybe 4 hours total so you give certain vets the 3rd day off? What's the point? I'm excited to hear that Sweat is showing up. I'm also excited about Tyree Jackson. I know the hype will get overblown, but he's been one of my dark horse guys I've talked about the last few months. Interesting note that JaCoby Stevens calling the plays with first team red zone defense today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm in the school of thought that every rep counts. Brand new offense, brand new plays. As many reps as they can get will only help this team be better.

BigEFly Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Johnson and Howard running with the twos and are said to look good. Maybe like a back in flag football. I think they put on pads Monday. That should tell us something more about performances. Tomorrow’s practice is at 5:30. Not sure I get the point of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanMeanGM Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I think this training camp has been pretty odd for two reasons. 1. The practices so far have been far shorter than the CBA permits. Each day has been from 70 to 80ish mins max. Adam Caplan said today was by far the shortest TC practice he’s been to in 21 years. Not sure why they aren’t taking advantage of as much on field time as they can being a young, new coaching staff. Hopefully they ramp it up a bit. 2. Gannon admitted that the practices have been more physical than most offensive coaches want them to be, but Sirianni likes it. Gannon even admitted they need to tone it down and scale it back some to avoid unnecessary injuries. I personally like they are being more physical, but it does seem like they are flirting with disaster as they are only in shorts and bare minimum shells. Even some beat reporters are noticing there’s more guys laying on the ground than usual for this time of year. It will be interesting to see if this approach helps the players prepare for real game and avoid injuries or if it blows up in their face at some point.

The schemes are in the playbook, so I hope so. On OL, I suspect the blocking is similar. I do like how Sirianni is rotating around players so they get used to each other. Interesting that Juriga was the C with Kelce out today. He got some reps as the 6th OL at the end of the year. Real short arms but a priority UDFA. Like Dickerson ( and like Kelce and Brooks a bit) excels at second level blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmac+djaxallday Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The first rounder was never going to happen anyways. The Colts aren't stupid and will find a way to keep him under 70%. Only way it becomes a first is on the off chance he rediscovers his 2017 form (and I'm not sure we can emotionally handle that anyways). The guy who played here the last three years was barely a starting caliber QB. Don't let the numbers fool you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Shiznit Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Can you imagine if we had stubbornly kept him and he got injured like this? Not only would we be kicking ourselves, any and all trade value would have been gone and we would have been stuck with him and his contract.
