I thought it was a little weird when I heard PJ Williams is getting the majority of the first team reps at nickel in training camp. He couldn’t really be slotted ahead of PRob right?

Re: And so it begins...
 

He could be however it's still relatively early.

PRob played some excellent ball up in Philly two seasons ago however he's 32 and coming off a season ending ankle injury.

After the dust settles, it could become Gardner-Johnson's job at the nickle spot.

Totally forgot about Apple for a minute. I think PRob is safe at nickel, I keep hearing he’s having a great camp. Age and injury are probably about the only question mark. Man our defense is going to be on fire this year. I will go ahead and say our D will be top 5 nearly across the board.
We will be dominant at every position group. Even LBr.

Grayson called the Saints and got his foot in the door. No matter what happens, he has some serious motivation because this is his 3rd attempt trying to make an NFL roster. He seems to be doing enough to make the team. If he has a couple of good returns in PS I think he's a lock. Good Luck!

Simmie Cobbs again with a big play. I just don’t know yet if Cobbs is a practice player or if he can ball when it’s game time too. I want to see him get some first-team reps this preseason.

This is are year! We will win the Super Bowl, I guarantee it.

Need to see this a lot this season...

Re: And so it begins...
 

Thought his pass catching was good on Friday. The last thing a defender wants to see is Latavius catching a pass out of the backfield with blockers in front.

He's a bruiser.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Sounds like Emmanuel Butler was back at it today and caught everything thrown his way.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Re: And so it begins...
 

It's fine to see Tre making these moves on Crawley :rolleyes: at camp but on Friday night, Teddy hit him in right between the 1 and the 0 and he still dropped the ball. Sometimes I question his concentration and following the ball in (diamond technique) completely.

Easy catch and completion. We cannot have these types of blunders when the season begins.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Damn XVI,

This dude sounds like he is a diamond in the rough.

I cannot wait to see Butler in action next week.

^^^ I asked this during the Vikes game day thread ..

What is up with Keith? Missing a lot of practice and 1st pre season game. If he's not careful, his spot will be taken away (placed back on the practice squad) by one of these young, hungry rookies.

Humprey and Butler, on paper they lack some metrics but who cares. They are making plays. That Humprey TD was nasty. I don't recall any WR's other than MT playing with that intensity.

Re: And so it begins...
 

SMDH.

Trey wants to get in "skirmishes" in practice (Alize Mack), yet when the lights come on in vs Vikes, he does nothing.

Keep that same intensity in those joint practices out in Cali & pre season games Trey :brood:.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Re: And so it begins...
 

This is why I hope MT, Kamara, Ramz and Brees don't see much (if any) pre season games going forward.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Welp... the rumor peddlers are saying Alex Anzalone has a small fracture in his shoulder and will miss the rest of the preseason.

Re: And so it begins...
 

Payton - “Alex has a shoulder.”

Re: And so it begins...
 

And here we go...

Re: And so it begins...
 

Didn’t he have shoulder problems in college?
I’m starting to feel another 7-9 season coming .

Re: And so it begins...
 

Have a source on that one?

If this is in fact true, this could be a mild set back for a position we are solid at ... chronic shoulder injuries dating back to high school on Alex.

At worst, we won't have him back until week 1 vs Texans.
