Can you evaluate the offensive linemen on the fade route?

“It was just a little pat and go warmup drill but you can see back to that baseball question. You can kind of see who might have had a chance. I think we got a lot of stuff done. We’re still obviously not in pads. This time away will be fairly quick and before we know it we will be back at training camp and getting ready to go.”

What is on the checklist so to speak until training camp?

“It’s a little different for the first year players. The rookies will be here for more time, another week, those that are drafted head to the rookie symposium which is a mandatory league event. Then for the rookies, just under four weeks, they will be back early. Our injured players will get back the Sunday prior to reporting date. The rest of the team gets back in on that Tuesday we travel (to The Greenbrier). The main thing when the players are away you talk about it a bunch and we will have a meeting here in a minutes, is just making sure they are staying on top of their conditioning level, their weights. They have gotten to a point here, it is a little bit unique to football than maybe baseball, basketball or hockey per say, when they get started with their training it kind of leads them eventually into the season. I think most of these guys understand that and they have a plan with where they are going to work out, where they are going to train. We will get started that last week of July.”

Are you pleased with the way the roster is shaping out?

“I think each year, I think obviously it is unique when there is a trade involving a player like Jimmy Graham, but in regards to the roster, the transition of players coming in and players leaving would be very similar to every other year. I think as we get back to training camp and we are actually playing other teams and getting to the preseason you will get a better feel for how the new players are doing, both with regards to free agents or players that came in via trade or rookie class. So far though, I think the work ethic has been good. These guys have done a good job paying attention to detail and you are kind of looking forward to getting back at it here at the end of the month that is about four and a half, five weeks away.”

Very simple. He is saying all the right things without really saying anything to give away plans and ideas
