##Chris Clemons picked off David Garrard’s rollout pass in the right corner of the end zone during early 11-on-11 drills. ##Steve Slaton was displaying good hands during routes on air as the running backs are clearly being asked to contribute in the passing game. ##Rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill was picked off by Jimmy Wilson in 7-on-7 drills. ##Clyde Gates was excited after catching a TD pass from Matt Moore in the left corner during 1-on-1s and threw his arms out to the side almost like LeBron James used to do before Miami Heat games. ##Once again running back Daniel Thomas showed a nice burst on a 40-yard run off right guard and almost pulled away from safety Jimmy Wilson on is way into the end zone. ##Meanwhile on the other side of the field, Tannehill threw a perfectly placed pass to Marlon Moore behind three defenders. ##Safety Reshad Jones still has excellent closing speed as he proved in breaking up a Matt Moore pass to Charles Clay in the left flat. ##When it was time for red zone drills, Matt Moore got things started by zipping a pass to rookie wide receiver Jeff Fuller on a slant route. Fuller snatched the ball out of the air with his fingers for the score. ##One of the areas of concern for Philbin so far in training camp has been mishandled snaps and fumbles, and that was an issue again for rookie running back Lamar Miller on an inside handoff drill as he lost the handle. ##Jonas Gray looked like he was auditioning for the strongest man competition by taking a sledgehammer to a tractor tire as part of his rehabilitation in the bubble. More on the App
Which app do you use? I have the main one but either I'm not using it right or it's sub par because the only stuff I ever see is older stuff on there.
iPhone one. Maybe update your app. They may have changed the app or something. I used to get old crap too. I just go to the News tab.
Good stuff BPK. Thanks. Still sayin it----- Thomas will develop into a near Arian Foster, possibly by this year.
Cutting Bell and replacing his cap space with Richard Marshall is quickly looking like an outstanding move. This defense should be better than the solid one that finished out the '11 season IMO.
Yeremiah Bell for Richard Marshall wasn't a one-for-another move IMO. Will Allen for Richard Marshall is closer to that. And I thought Will Allen played great last year.
I'm kind of curious how they view the position of "fullback". Charles Clay got most of the starting I-formation snaps in the backfield today, but isn't even on the depth chart for fullback. Lane got a couple of snaps with the starters, but later in the second unit Michael Egnew got a couple of I-formation snaps. Lane couldn't block worth a **** as a fullback in Mike Sherman's first year at Texas A&M, but I'm wondering if there is kind of a hidden "H-Back" position that overlaps with fullback, and their fullback position is kind of a jumbo halfback position that is more well-rounded than the normal lead blocker. They spent a segment of practice today with the quarterbacks practicing faking handoffs to the fullback up the middle and pitching to the runningback(and vice versa), and John Kuhn last year had more rushing snaps from what PFF defines as the "fullback" position than anyone in the NFL, too.
It's entirely possible we end up seeing the Bone set that Green Bay has used. EDIT: I cut and uploaded this two years ago (I think). [video=youtube;ANJ_k8FEhvA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANJ_k8FEhvA[/video]
I didn't even think of that, that's interesting. They didn't seem to be practicing any sort of read, but I suppose that doesn't rule it out either. I'm going to have to go back and look at that game for sure.
When was the last time Tannehill threw a legitimate pick? Man seems to be on fire. And, I'm glad to see Gates putting in work. It's good to see him do this thing.
That makes sense, too, but b/c Allen was a FA and we had no money tied up in him, I thought Bell's $4.3M in cap savings was more significantly related. I could see us saying--- "let's not re-sign Allen and instead go after Marshall", but I don't see that being the likeliest scenario. What I personally see more likely is: "Let's cut Bell and allocate his '12 salary to Marshall".
Sounds like the front office thought process, whereas CK's includes the coach's point of view. Either way I LOVE that I don't have to give a **** about how Nolan Carroll is doing in camp.
Salary cap devoted to the DBs wise, then I agree cutting Bell freed up some of the cap space that the Marshall signing had taken. The latter preceded the former by about 5 days. They signed RM first, and that put us up against it, for cap room I'd guess, so 5 days later, cut Bell.
That's the way they do it... act like they're giving you a great opportunity. Doing him a real favor letting him stand out on special teams. lol. Coach: "John, we love you. We want you on the field for special teams now too, because you're, well... special!" Jerry: "Thanks Coach!" John Jerry doesn't even see it coming.... [video=youtube;LlQCW02Tbxc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlQCW02Tbxc[/video] Give it a few days... John Jerry will "be gone... and we couldn't do nuttin' about it"
I think getting a spot for ST play is more for guys who play on the return units or more, not a guy who just blocks kick returns
Thanks for the updates guys! Sounds like Tannehill still isnt getting much work against the 1's. Really taking their time with him...
