This is one of the biggest barriers to the NFL making any strides in concussion research. If you look at the NHL, the players themselves are coming out and saying how important it is that they learn more about concussions and that it's the player's responsibilities to look out for each other on the ice. In the NFL there's a stigma about sitting out with a concussion. As long as that is perpetuated by players there will never be any change. Hell, look at Sidney Crosby. He was out for several months after the concussion he sustained. I just hope that one day the players of the NFL can adopt the attitude of the players of the NHL when it comes to this issue because the sad part is for some guys there's not much "later" to occupy with thinking...even if you still can.

I think Josh Kaddu is going to be a player for us. He has a similar body style to Dansby. Could be an interesting relationship to watch over the summer between those two.

Every year since 2006 an undrafted rookie has rise up the depth chart like a phoenix and make the 53-man roster.
Jeff Fuller already knows the Dolphins' offense, giving him an advantage over every rookie receiver.
Each year at least one player following in Davone Bess, Dan Carpenter, Jonathon Amaya, Pat Devlin Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore’s footsteps, risen from the ranks of the overlooked and carves out a role, and an NFL career for himself.

So everyone's on the same page: first practice for rookies today at 230. open to media. rest of weekend's camp is closed.

meaning we won't get anything :no:

Paul 13 · May 4, 2012

One interesting item of note: According to sportsagentblog.com, the NFLPA sent out a letter to all agents this week that the NFL and union couldn’t agree on injury protection for unsigned free agents such as Harris. If one of said players gets hurt at a rookie minicamp, he likely won’t be entitled to any financial settlement, in addition to ending any chance he has of getting to the NFL.

“It’s more of an orientation than a real camp, and it’s going to be slower paced, not nearly as fast as we move with the other guys,” Philbin said last week. “Hopefully, if the play’s going to the right, (the goal is) to get everyone to step to the right and not run into one another. It’s not going to be, ‘Let’s do a hundred up-downs and see whom we can run out of here.’”

Philbin said they’ll look at the playbooks a little bit and do some drills on the field, but the key is making sure that the players know what the coaches expect of them when training camp begins at the end of July.

“We’re going to get them oriented to the weight room, get them oriented to some of our player engagement programs, we’re going to get them adjusted to our practice structure, our practice tempo, our schemes, our classroom environment, our weight room environment, all of those things,” Philbin said. “What we want to do is to prepare them for the OTAs and get them a little bit comfortable – a little bit – with the playbook. We’re not going to go nearly as fast as we do with our other guys. If they can get half of it and remember 25 percent, we’re ahead of the game.”

Philbin's such a realist. It's pretty funny.

Incidentally in my opinion the corners all have a leg up as far as making the final 53 man roster. Nolan Carroll is beatable and the fifth guy right now is scheduled to be Jonathan Wade or Quinten Lawrence and that's very beatable, even for a rookie undrafted free agent. The Syracuse guy is probably only a half step away from being the favorite for the 5th roster spot at corner.

what about the kid from Cal Lutheran, who is a division 3 sleeper? My initial reaction is that Ireland dropped the ball on cbs unless there is a conversion for a guy like McCray or Wiley.

He just went through about as big of a tragedy as someone can so I'm sure he just doesn't believe in bull****ting anyone. Seems like a very tough guy though so hopefully he can work through it with no other problems.

I wonder where Jimmy Wilson will end up playing.

Interesting. I remember ck posting that he was fairly certain RM would be the FS and I guess everyone just assumed JW would be trained at CB. If it works it works. Nice to have a 4.5 guy back there, but it makes me really wonder what in the world happened to Chris Clemons.

Again , Ireland said he was a CB , so we all should take him at his word , much like when he said Martin was drafted as a RT.

It is interesting the corner position was not only neglected in the draft, but also with the undrafted signees. Only Kevyn Scott IMO would be a corner. Wylie, Evans and McCray all appear to be safeties. I think my CLU guy has a legit shot to at least be added to the 90 man list after this weekend. We'll see.

EDIT: Forgot about CB Trenton Hughes, Maryland who apparently is signed (not an invitee)... but I think that puts us over 90. hmmm...
