Camp FLEW by ...

I expect the Grimm Reaper (cuts & picking up playbooks) to get in a lot of work here shortly.

Hot take : This new and revamped D line will be tough to run on ... again.

Once Breesee puts it all together, he's going to be hard to block. For a man of his size, his footwork is nice.

Within 3 seasons or less, I can see opposing offensive coordinators circling his number in those film study rooms. He's a dawg.

If he can learn to keep his hips centered and low he will be a force on the line very soon....if he's not already! His spin move is just sick for a big man. When he learns a few more moves, then he'll be the monster in the middle we've been missing.

It’s hard to believe that pre-draft he was labeled as injury liability because he had a post-op infection.

Yup. It just goes to show how ill informed many people can be. They believe whatever they read be it factual or not and then, in turn, share it as fact.

Are you saying its hard to believe Bresee was labeled as an injury liability? I am encouraged by his play in the preseason but he missed a lot of games in college, realistically teams are going to factor that in. Presumably he was labeled an injury liability because of the injury that required the operation, but as we have seen with players like LeCharles Bentley and Alex Smith, post-op infections are not a plus. Hopefully we got a great player after the injury discount but there is a reason there was an injury discount. We did take a risk.

Yes. Missing time for a kidney infection is not related to one’s proclivity to being injured IMO. I think he fell farther in the draft than he should have. I’ve seen some reviews saying he should have been a top 10 pick.

I think when you make a top 10 pick you want a lot of tape showing you what a player can do. It's not that the kidney infection will reoccur, its that the kidney infection prevented him from being able to play and make those tapes. He looked good in high school and as a freshman, but you wanted to see how he would develop. Then he had injuries and you wanted to see how he could bounce back. Then he had a kidney infection and a death in the family and you never got to see. To me, its a lack of data that makes it hard to draft him earlier than he was. Similar problem to another lack of data taking Marcus Davenport from a small school and not knowing how he would adjust to the big leagues. But at least we didnt trade up for Bresee, and if the player who fell to us is good, great.
