It's the first day of camp.  No need to get all flustered over who got first team reps in a short practice.  There are jobs to win and jobs to lose.  Maybe we should wait a bit before going into, "This is going to be a full out disaster!" mode. 

I am with laid back George on this one, drinkin a brewski not gettin all flustered.

I’m certainly excited about the season but I honestly have no idea what this team is going to be. I can see them finishing the season with a floor 4-12 or a ceiling of 11-5. I tend to think they fall somewhere in between And either barely miss or barely squeak into the playoffs.

But again, I have absolutely no idea what they are. There are just so many questions to be answered and I’m not sure we will have any real answers until the real regular season bullets start flying. I’m mostly just hoping the team escapes camp and the preseason without any major injuries to important pieces. They should all be bubble wrapped until September 9th.

Price on Geno Atkins: "He’s a Pro Bowler for a reason. But I’m happy to be going against him every day. ... He gave a big stunt today and the first time you burn your hand on the iron and the next time you don’t. He smoked me twice and next time I said OK, I’m going to change it"

Billy Price: "Speed is significantly different. Kind of got my first introduction; Carl Lawson came in on a twist and lit me up pretty good. Geno is everything as advertised. Got to get used to it. First day, I think I’ve got to fix some things”

Billy Price had his first full practice today, and it had its ups and downs with 3 fumbled exchanges. It was a change getting used to snaps under center, which they didn't do at Ohio State, plus the competition was a little different than in college.

Both VERY impressive throws by Dalton!

I'm PUMPED UP!
