NFL: 2018 Training Camp Discussion thread

Expecting big things from Lockett with that number, but I'm happy to have him around longer. It's important to keep him after letting Richardson walk for serious money.

A lot of people seem to think it's pretty much a done deal. Donald deserves whatever he's going to get.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Such a moron

Jaguars' Jalen Ramsey says he could probably make the NHL if he trained for six months

 

[Voight]

Amendola 100% but Gronk? Really Jalen?

Only reason he slid in the draft was because of injury concerns (which ended up being true, but still)

 

[What the Faulk]

Jalen Ramsey is starting to sound like a moron the more he talks. He's very good, but that's just stupid.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Clever move. ****talk a guy not even with the team anymore and a guy you will almost assuredly not have to cover in the Jags game with the Pats.

That type of crap doesn't work against the Patriots though.

 

[Avs_19]

It would be fun to watch him and Garrett on the same team. Even Gregg Williams may not be able to screw that up.

 

[GKJ]

Jordan Mailata, rugby player from Australia the 7th rounder by the Eagles this year who had never played football - ever - is going to make the team for the Eagles. There's just too much tape out there of him playing too well with too much potential to sneak him on a practice squad.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

They'll IR him for some clean up surgery. It's the year of roster games.

 

[What the Faulk]

There's a body, but I don't know anything about him

He's huge and is a decent swing tackle.

McKinnon hurt today at 49er practice, not good from what they said

Ugh. Avoided what may have been a serious injury earlier in camp and now he's hurt again.

 

[Avs_19]

This came out of nowhere. I'm glad he's sticking around the team though.

They think it's an ACL

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Good thing they signed Alfred Morris.

 

[Avs_19]

Terrible for McKinnon. At least he got paid beforehand.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Despite a wonky hamstring, former CFL standout WR Brandon Zylstra has apparently made the Vikings roster. Injury aside he had a pretty good camp and the Vikings liked the little they saw.

Super glad to hear it. Being more of a CFL guy it's always nice to see guys get their shot in the big time. Unlike the last CFL standout in Adam Bighill, Zylstra actually made the full roster instead of a practice squad spot.

Hope he pops off.

Open tryouts for OL ahead

Supposedly Williams and Silatolu will be ready in a few weeks

Injuries always suck but I see quite a few people saying this will ultimately be a good thing for the Panthers because their two best tackles are Williams and Moton. I don't know enough about Moton to comment on him but I do know Kalil is really bad.

Kalil wasnt good last year but he wasn't as bad as people say. When he fails, he fails miserably but most of the time he was pretty average. Williams is their best tackle and Moton has a lot of promise, but he hasnt played much and Williams won't be 100 percent all year. The loss of Kalil sucks for depth more than anything. If it was just him it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but they're now down like 4 guys, not even including Ryan.

This is an interesting strategy.
