From today....

Undrafted rookie cornerback Chase Minnifield stood out again today, jumping routes and tipping passes incomplete. He earned praise from his position coach, coordinator and head coach, who each marveled at their fortune in landing him after the draft.

A quote from MS himself:

On the team’s agenda for the last day of minicamp Thursday:

“Tomorrow, what we’re going to do is when the players get in, they’ll get in around 7:30-8 a.m., we’ll work out until about 9 a.m. and we’ll run and we’ll lift. Then, we’ll have a couple hours of film, but we’re not going to practice tomorrow afternoon. We’re a little banged up. We’ve done a heck of a job throughout the offseason, all these OTA’s. Tomorrow will be more of a workout, running and lifting, more of a meeting, but we won’t go through what we did today.”

Really? Why not?

KS on Garcon, this is for you stat guys:

On Pierre Garçon:

I just thought without a doubt that he was the best wide-out available. You look at Pierre and you don’t really, as a coach, at least myself and most coaches I’ve been around, you don’t look at stats. Wide receivers can’t really control whether they get the ball, whether they don’t get the ball. You look at how the guy is wired. How talented is he? Can he get off bump? Does he have the physical build to separate versus NFL corners? And he’s as talented as it gets when it comes to that stuff. Does he have good hands? Is he physical? Pierre is fast as can be, he can get off bump, he can get in and out of his breaks, he has good hands, and he’s fearless. He will block as good as anyone, he’ll put his face into anyone, he gets after it, he competes, and he’s everything I look for in a wide receiver.

We are killing this offseason! We have HoFers at every position, an UDFA corner who is Chase Island, unbelievable practice sessions...

No koolaid here.

There's even something for that.....

On his expectations for the offense:

“My expectation is to win. We don’t go into a season never not expecting to go to playoffs. That’s why we came here; we want a chance to compete every year. It’s been just as disappointing for us as anyone else that we haven’t been able to. We’ve started off good and we haven’t really been able to recover from that adversity once that Week 5 hits. Whatever it is, whether it’s injuries or just not playing well, whatever it is, we haven’t been able to recover and I feel confident that we can do it. I believe in our guys. I know our guys believe in ourselves and we expect to come in and win. Anything short of that and we’re as coaches disappointed.”

by the way... what flavor?

I see what he did there, a TRIPLE negative. Nice.

Clever...

Also a TRIPLE "S". The patented ol' Shanahan Smoke Screen.

KS on Josh Morgan and the slot position:

On Josh Morgan:

“Josh is the same thing. First thing we always look at is just the skill standpoint. Josh doesn’t have the numbers and other stuff that other guys have had, but I think he would have last year if he didn’t get hurt. If you watch Josh in those games and stuff, he can naturally get off bump. He’s got great hands. He’s a physical guy who runs through every ball. He’s very good after the catch. He’s fearless out there. He’ll put his face in people in the running game. He comes off the ball, doesn’t loaf. He does everything you ask for for a big time receiver. With him getting that injury, it set him back. He hasn’t been full go in OTA’s like Pierre has and everyone else, so we haven’t seen a ton of him out there. He’s been trying to go and push through it and when we have, we see the talent that we’ve got. He’s got to get healthy so he can get more comfortable with his reps, get him more comfortable with what he’s doing out there.”



On Josh Morgan or Leonard Hankerson playing more in the slot:

“It’s hard, because actually to me, it’s the first time we’ve got a few guys who are capable of that. Josh [Morgan] and Hank [Leonard Hankerson] are very capable of that. Santana Moss, I see as one of the premier guys in the NFL at that position. So we have some depth there. We have guys who I don’t think we miss a beat, whoever’s in there. It could be play dependent, it could be just because of injuries, but it’s the first time I see a few guys who can do it, not just Santana [Moss]. All three of those guys are all fast enough to go outside also. So when you have a situation like that, I don’t really have anything penciled in my mind. Especially this time of the year, you like to let them all work it and usually when you’ve got guys who are all good, it plays itself out.”
