It makes sense if you think about it. Hands weren’t really his issue in college. He was pretty raw in his route tree if I remember correctly. So he went all in on addressing his weaknesses vs a fully balanced conditioning. He also appears to have learned from it which is all you can ask.

Statistics is such a broad term, but PFF has to use them to some degree. They just have their own measurements and grading systems which incorporate some statistics in their grades.

Icky is a great run blocker and solid pass blocker. Keep in mind he is only 24 and has been through Rhule, Wilks, Reich, Tabor, and now Canales. He finally gets a second year of the same offense which is good for someone considered pretty raw in pass blocking coming out of college. I love the fire from Princely! Keep it coming and I hope it’s contagious!

I think it’s between Horn and Moore.

Pretty sure we offered him similar money. He just wanted to play for Dan Quinn and his defense.

Can we pin this as a reminder to people overreacting about training camp plays/stats? (Joking… kind of) It’s also a way for players to build timing/chemistry. Turnovers and misfires are all part of the process.

I'd like us to make a move at LB with Jewell being out to help lower the amount of missed tackles. Outside of that the defense is looking much better on paper. Should be an interesting year to see how everything actually works out.

I'm just excited we were able to land him and Scourton in the 2nd/3rd rounds while keeping all of our picks next year.

No one here is mad at Pincely. If you are upset with Reddit users go talk to them about it. All I’ve seen here is defending Canales’ tame comment in liking the effort but not the contact. He even came out today and said it looked like Princely was trying to avoid contact on the play. It’s really no big deal.

I think you are looking waaaay too much into this. You don’t touch QBs in practice. If our coach only highlights that play more young players are going to try to replicate it. It was simply a greater effort, but remember we are not making contact yet reminder. If that ruins Princely’s confidence (which I doubt it does) he wasn’t going to make it anyway.

Wouldn’t having a SS playing FS help our run defense?

Makes sense. I guess I stuck in the old traditional defenses. Always appreciate your insight.

I think he was asked directly about the play. Was he not?

LB was definitely neglected. I think we just had too many holes to fill. Maybe they still have something up their sleeve but I doubt it.

The only thing confusing about the safety group to me is redundancy. Moehrig, Richardson, and Ransom all look to be good and potentially good box safeties. We never really got that ball hawking FS we needed IMO. It might still work out, but whoever is playing FS would be playing a position that doesn't fully play to their strengths IMO.

We have to pay a backup QB something? Dalton is making 8 million over 2 years. Honestly that's pretty cheap. Argument aside of how good he is, his contract seems fine. Plenty of blame to go around for our cap getting full, but the backup QB on a 2 year 8 million dollar deal seems like quite the reach.

You just don't typically touch QBs in this stage of practice. A broken hand/finger from his throwing arm can really jeopardize a season.

At least Denver (which seems to be a well ran team) let him go originally.

Plus he can still have a great season with a bad defense. It may not show up as wins but he should get plenty of drives to show how far along he has come in his development even with a bad defense.

Grizzlies clearly have money on the Kings beating us.

No I get it. I think I was just saying top 50 isn’t really anything to hang your hat on. He is a ginger too. Good point. I’m not here to die on an Andy Dalton hill.

Ok the first paragraph made me laugh. You think he is washed and I understand it. I just don’t think it’s outlandish for someone to think he is in the top 50 in the league. It’s not really a compliment but just means he is an average backup. I’d put him in the Joe Flacco category personally. Old starter with tons of experience that can come in and run your offense if needed, but not someone you want playing more than 3 games or so.

That means he is an average backup depending on the use of the word “easily”. All 32 starters are clearly better, but are more than 18 backup QBs better? It’s not that much of a stretch to say that IMO.

Good to see Kon getting comfortable

I think the whole point is we don’t really know. Overreacting when he looks bad and dismissing when he looks good is simply pushing an agenda to be right though. Let’s just see how he looks this year and not look too much into these summer league games.
