Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

Let’s peak in on the cowboys camp:

Yikes!

Pair that with Jerry bullying his team with the anthem...looking like off to a good start! I’m sure Sean lee having to be asked questions about being called a snake is not distracting. People wanted dez on this team? Really?

Any big time WR will act like that , they want the ball it's not a surprise. Dez and Dak didn't get along because dak cant make the throws and is scared to take chances, he's Jason Campbell 2.0

Sounds like the anthem might have been an issue for them last year. Hoping Jerry's "stand or be cut" policy continues that theme this year.

Agreed. Just wanted to point out it had already died down then he put out yet another tweet about it. He wants to keep the heat on the NFL.

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

Back to football, I hope Dez keeps the trolling of his former team going. Not that I like him or agree with anything he has to say, but I do love how clownish it makes them all look. Meanwhile, we're all business in training camp.

I have a good feeling about our team. I like how we're building from the trenches -- it's been a long time since we've done that -- and the reports seem to indicate that the team is really coming together. Good leadership will do that, and a number of guys seem to be displaying that this year so far.

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

It feels like we have competitive depth 2-3 deep at every position (except LG). This may be the strongest roster the Skins have fielded in a decade or two. Maybe not, I didn't compare, it just has an under the radar killer instinct feel to the team.

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

Im a believer in the "intangibles" on a team...and while everything looks good on paper, still have to wait how they mesh together in the locker room and of course on the field.

It seems to me we have a really good mix on the defense side of things...Norman, Swearinger who are vocal, positive vets. The young guys seem mature (Allen, Payne, Monte) and coachable.

I don't know if I can say that about the offense. I think the Oline seem to have a workman like approach. Silverblunt...as much as I love him...suspension questions. Alex Smith seems to have a silent confidence about him and seems comfortable with who he is....I couldn't always say that about Cousins. Guice...seems to love the game, fans and spotlight...no drugs or alcohol...but is he mature enough to handle adversity? Difficult to say. The WR group is a hodge podge of talent...each with own skill set...I need to see them play together as a group.

I think one guy on the offense who could be a leader is Chris Thompson...everytime he talks its always positive and mature. I can see him being someone offense looks too.

So everything looks good on paper...kool aid is the purple stuff right now....but lets see how this group comes together, especially on the offense.

There was an article, i forget where maybe here..., that had a note about ASmith in the meeting rooms early on and he would sit in different chairs each day to talk and meet different groups of players. I think we will see a very communicative and very positive leadership style from our qb that is team focused and goal (winning) oriented.

It seems we have QB here with a better leadership style than Cousins...or one that meshes better with the receiving corp. Im just hoping a strong running game can complement his ability and Gruden's scheme is a match for talent.

I have Tarik Cohen and Michael Crabtree in my Dynasty League Fantasy team, don't know if the second will play at all, but yeah, a little bit of interest.

As usual I'll watch the 1st quarter quite closely and the rest of the game while I wash the dishes or whatever...

Have you carried Crabtree since a rookie?

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

[QUOTE=Chico23231;1197203]Have you carried Crabtree since a rookie?[/QUOTE]No, he was drafted in 2009 and we started this league 2010 or 2011, I'm pretty sure I picked him up on the waivers at some point... why? ^^

Yeah he was.I cant make up my mind on whether to pull for the kid or not.Him and RG3 are right up there on my douchebag list but I also believe in 2nd chances.At least he's trying and hopefully can keep his life straight and stay off the drugs.Speaking of RG3,is he still in camp with Baltimore or did they release him already?

The question is, will he make it through the pre season without getting hurt?

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

[quote=Giantone;1197311]The question is, will he make it through the pre season without getting hurt?[/quote]

The real question is can Flacco (or Jackson) make it thorough without getting hurt. Unless the Ravens carry three QB's this season, that is the only way I can see RGIII making the team. Not for the ability, but the price tag difference of carrying a rookie to a veteran.

The way the CBA is written and the rookie salary pools, Jackson would need to get hit by a truck for RGIII to make the Ravens roster.

But it is preseason and players are really auditioning for all 32 teams. There will be an injury somewhere. If he keeps it up, when the smoke clears on the pre-season he could find himself on another roster.

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

The fact that some reports are saying Dak has yet to pass a TD in camp is incredible but I think it's just hate on him after the anthem stuff

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

The Cards lost starting C AQ Shipley to a torn ACL.

Big loss and big win for us week 1

[quote=MTK;1197308]RGIII looked good the other night[/quote]

I dont know to which game you are referring,I would assume Baltimore must have played their first preseason game,which would mean he was playing against mostly guys that wont be on the roster.He better look good against those guys if he is to ever stand a chance on making someones roster again.

Re: Around the NFL, Training Camp Style
 

Joe Mixon is going to lead the AFC in Rushing. Saw it here first

Yes the preseason has begun, he started the game so he wasn't exactly playing against no names. Yes it's the first preseason game but to his credit he did play well. Unless Jackson progresses quickly RGIII has a good shot to be the #2.

I am only asking a question here. Do fans realize coach's will play players in the preseason in certain situations to see how they do when they might not even be on the 53 man roster at the end of camp? I ask becuase I was having this discussion on a Giants board and people are screaming over who the starters are and about this guy over this guy and I think back to my own playing days and know that coach's play people in camp and preseason for a multitude of reasons and to never make anything out of it.
In college I had a coach who told me to take the snap ( I was punting) scream fumble and run like hell , I said ..."why" he told me to see if the guys know what the hell to do if it ever really happens. He was right almost none of them had played special teams at there schools and just stood there.

That's a great story -- and it must have been pretty funny too.
