"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."

"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."

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.
