Oline and Wentz struggling…it’s way too early to get upset.

You'll be repeating this line a lot throughout the season. Starting w/ Jacksonville.

Wentz is in his first camp here, still learning the offense. The o-line has 2 new starting guards (along with whoever is filling in for Roullier) going against a loaded front 4 who have years of experience playing together.

Who do you think would have the edge there?

Loaded front four? lol. I'd say an average front 4.

69 and jamf I need y’all to at least have some koolaid spike with LSD

Sounds like Ron is covering for him, saying it's the lack of conditioning, whatever. Whatever it is - if he has another injury or he needs to work himself into shape - I'm not counting on him for any significant snaps this year. It's unfortunate but barring a huge season from him I expect him to be cut next offseason - doing it right now would be a liability with that 19 million dead cap hit but next offseason that number drops to 7 million dead cap.

Brace yourselves but CS is in full pads today and practicing.

Somebody better brace him - put him in a bubble or something.

Is this according to “the plan” Rivera and the trainer masterminded?

I just want to see Curtis playing at a high level again. His explosiveness is needed

Heard Michael Phillips make this point about CS, he may end up being another DeSean Jackson type of player in that you can't rely on him for 17 games and you just have to manage his health as you go and be ok with that.

Obviously you just hope last year was a worst case scenario.

Good to hear this on Davis from Rivera

On LB Jamin Davis's progression:

"Very happy with it. You see a lot of good and positive things from Jamin right now. He's much more comfortable with what we're doing and how we're doing it. He's picked up the way we do things in terms of reads and drops. Reading through his drops and understanding the concepts is really big and he's done a nice job with that. So very pleased with that. As with [LB] Cole [Holcomb], he has done a nice job stepping into the Mike [MLB] position from the start. Last year he was more a Will [OLB] for us. Then when JB [form Washington LB Jon Bostic] got injured we moved him to the Mike [MLB] and he really showed very well. Now's an opportunity to work on that skill set and he's done a very good job. When [LB David] Mayo's gotten his opportunity. Dave's a big physical guy. Today was a good day for Dave. We did a lot of our big defensive stuff. So he got an opportunity."

what it sounds like is Samuel isn't in football shape according to Ron. this guy has had an entire off season and then some to get his body right. coming out of the gate he can't even get through a few camps practices.

ron should have told him that come training camp you had better be ready to go. no excuses. be in the best shape of your life. all ron is doing is covering for him saying we have a plan. what is the plan? lol.

i'd go w/ the other guys and would start phasing him out. then we'll see if he wants to get his body right.

[MTK]

Not in football shape... definitely calling BS there. It's an excuse and a weak one at that. Remember back when Shanahan called out McNabb and Haynesworth for not being in football shape? It's coach speak for there's more to this situation than I want to get into.

[EdmundDorf]

Given our cap situation next year, if Dotson and Brown are half as good in real games as they appear in practice then Samuel is toast next offseason whatever he does

Guys I’ve heard been turning serious heads in camp: Fuller, Cosmi, Cole Turner, Dotson

Also heard praise about JD Mac, Ben St Jus, Dyami Brown

We talkin' bout practice... lol.

But Turner at TE is interesting. He is going to have to put on some weight and learn how to block. Right now there is no way he can handle NFL LB's in the run game. But with his ball skills and long arms at 6'6 he might be a real keeper. Can they develop him?? He and Logan at TE you just have two guys w/ so much size and two guys who have the ball skills. LB's and Db's won't be able to deal with in the red zone.

Then if Dotson can develop w/ Terry... w/ JD out of the backfield. And just a little something out of Samuel.

If we just had a QB that was pin point accurate I feel this offense has so much potential. The parts are really coming together.

A high flying offense will also put some people in the seats.
