Yep isn't it amazing? Great competition all the way around is EXACTLY what ZT and the coaches want, yet, plenty of posters want to all of a sudden sign a another player out there or make a trade.

I like this guy, but he cannot stay healthy to save his life. Time to cut bait on him and bring in someone else.

It doesn't seem to be serious. He didn't go inside and was getting his ankle taped on the sidelines from what's being reported on Twitter.

Any news about Kirkland, Heyward or Jackson? I know its very early but just wondering if any of the UDFAs have shown anything. I did see that Maxwell was injured and I was hoping with his college stats, he might be able to come in and contribute something

The guy averages 7 yards per touch.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

My friend (played at Notre Dame and knows the game really well) said this:
"Forgot to mention this, Kirkland the UDFA is a G. Had a great day, huge dude, and is a great anchor on pass sets".
He also said this about Irv Smith:
"Is an absolute freak and is better than Hayden Hurst. I think they key with him is just staying healthy. If he does, he'll have a better year than Hurst last year."
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy

He also had these notes from yesterday:
"Went to practice today. A little disappointed by the rookie class. Murphy looks the part but he has some Ben Martin in him. Low football IQ and doesn't shed blocks well. Reaction just a hare slow. Dj turner getting beat again, ivey is outplaying him. Here's a hot take: ossai gets more sacks then Hendrickson this year. Also, chase brown is such a natural pass catcher. And, irv smith is better than hurst he is a specimen. Jaxson Carman got whooped today, up and in move destroyed him twice. Jonah Williams got walked back into the QB and looked bad too. Sample is a good depth piece to have."

My friend also said the rookie punter has been absolute garbage the past two days he was down there. At this point he wouldn't be shocked if Christman won the job.

I know it's just one day, but seeing Jonah get pushed back into the QB is not something I can really deal with all year again. Can't help but wonder if he's head is just not in it or his attitude is going to be poor because of having to move over. Which is a shame because we really need him to suck it up and step up.

He is playing for the payday of his life. He is 1000% in and his attitude is fine.

First day of pads tough to get much feel.

By all media reports, Turner is having the best camp of any of the rookies. Ivey is doing well but he is more often playing against the send level receivers

I mentioned the safeties when I bumped a past thread showing my concern for losing Bates & Bell, but we haven't heard diddly shit from Myles Murphy either.

Im not gonna trash your buddy but judging rookies reactions in their first week of training camp is silly. Also, in defense of DJ Turner getting beat by our WRs, he can join the dozens of vets over the past few seasons on that list. Agree with him that Ossai might make a huge leap he looked great in the playoffs last year which people tend to forget because of his PF in the AFCCG. As far as Jackson and Williams getting beat at RT its disappointing but not shocking hopefully one of them can hold down the fort until La'el is ready to go if it comes to that. Ill give them some time though they are both brand new to RT.

This is something I hope translates well...training with some of the best WRs in the league should be a positive for these young DBs.
