NFL: 2018 Training Camp Discussion thread

[Gene Parmesan]

Bobby Petrino and Jerry Jones being tight is the least surprising development ever.

I never saw the comments Mike Zimmer made about Petrino.

Even Nick Saban at least made it through 2 seasons.

Nick Saban probably would have had the Dolphins turned around if the org listened to him. He wanted Drew Brees in FA. They went with Culpepper.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I don't think Saban had the clout to lead a team of men. He didn't get his way and he left like a wuss.

Still hilarious how they didn't want Brees because he was damaged goods and then Culpepper ended up being exactly that.

They can't have guys making these kinds of plays driving their full body weight into the ground on a quarterback. Not because it's an egregiously bad and/or illegal play (it wasn't). It's because the NFL is a product and they have to protect their superstars and quarterbacks, and Rodgers is arguably their biggest. That's why you see so many terrible penalties on fouls with quarterbacks.

The NFL has to do something. These huge linemen have been purposely driving QBs onto their shoulders with the purpose of breaking their collarbones. It’s why we had more broken collarbones and separated shoulders in the past few seasons than before. Guys were trying to hurt QBs.

They had Brees signed but failed him on his physical as he was just coming off the shoulder injury. So they turned around and traded for Culpepper.

The Browns are trading yet another failed first rounder.

How would you guys feel about me doing a poll series here for top QBs, WRs, or RBs?

[Troy McClure]

What a stupid standard. Are you honoring the best players or not?

 

[Tuggy]

Patriots cut Malcolm Mitchell. Just can't stay healthy.

 

[Troy McClure]

The Cowboys have no limit to the amount of drama they can generate.

after hearing just some of Ray Lewis's speech from this past weekend, one might think they could be considering a rule that is the total opposite of this...

Last two DPOY winners still nowhere to be found.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Please just sign Aaron. Please!

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Maybe the Rams can stop paying bit pieces like Cooks first.

 

[Blitzkrug]

What the **** are they waiting for?

Not really training camp related, but



Smith is a complex dude with some obvious lowpoints, but I think, overall, he's genuinely a good guy.

 

[sigma six]

I really don't understand why the Rams didn't lock Donald up first, whatever it takes, and then add pieces from there. Seems obvious he should be the #1 priority.

He is a good guy. Idiots like to attach who he is on the field to who he is off the field.

Good to hear. I wouldn't even want them to improve the OL and add depth that way. Still, the Vikings are currently without their starting C, back up C, and both starting OG.
