I believe Hopkins will come at a cheaper price than Spain

I dont remember Hopkins at G, but if what you say is true, then he can provide flexibility between G and C

Hopkins is decent at pass pro. Im all aboard for bringing Hopkins back over Spain

I’d feel better if they added some veteran depth both at both G and T. Time to move on from Prince and Adeniji unless they have other positions in mind with their remaining salary cap space. There are still decent options out there that might not be that expensive at this point for a 1 year contract (Eric fisher, Daryl Williams). Spain or Hoskins would be nice but think they can do better then that if adding a veteran

I feel bad for #60. He seems like the kid that didn't get invited to play

La’el Collins is not at practice yet today. He’s not on the rehab field, either. This whole situation is starting raise questions. LC has yet to go full-go with his new team and there’s been very little info shared regarding his back injury, the severity & how it happened

Already addressed earlier in this thread. Charlie Goldsmith reported it was a planned off day for him. Conway should have known that…

To be fair Kelsey Conway posted that tweet as soon as practice started. Frank Pollack told the media about the planned off-day for Collins after practice was over.

I do find it interesting so much of the media gets criticized for getting anything even the slightest bit wrong.
And as you pointed out, it was her observation and she didn't know why.

In today's age of being expect to get information out ASAP, it can make it difficult/impossible sometimes, as all the different reporters/companies are trying to break news first.

umm because it's supposed to be their job to report stuff accurately. a little bit of misinformation can cause plenty of negative stuff to happen

I get that, but it's common for some things to be inaccurate or not having all the info if you're always trying to get it out the door super fast.
Society as a whole needs to SLOW. THE. F. DOWN.

right now media has a bad rep so it's a bit deserved when they report something false

these reporters never get punished anyways, and it drives clicks, so why would they stop firing off news even before the truth comes out?

Complaining about the media getting stories wrong is the same as complaining about the weatherman. Expect them to the be wrong half the time and that they won't be held accountable.

Or 99% of the time lol

I sure like to be held accountable in everything I do.

Otherwise I wouldn't have any pride in anything I do.

Guess journalists and weatherman are entitled that way....

No practice today due to a "personal" reason

D'Ante Smith is back at practice at least. We will likely get to see him in both tackle spots Sunday hopefully. 

Hopefully Smith shows up because Adeniji and Prince as the backups is a scary prospect.
