"No recording allowed, we have to have exclusive recording rights so we can post a horribly captured clip where the cool parts of the play are completely missed thanks to our shoddy camerawork by our guy using his Motorola Razr."

Robbie is gonna make a lot of people eat their words this season. I expect a return to his 2020 form, or something very close. Baker is going to utilize his ability to stretch the field much better than Sam did or could.

I just don't see anyone trading for him. He effectively tanked any value he had left last season.

And he will participate in today's first padded practice, per David Newton.

Goodell and all the people he has in his pocket and vice versa really are pieces of poo. Like I've said a million times, they don't care about right or wrong or integrity, they care about profits. Period. And Watson being in the field makes for great storylines and more money. fug the NFL.

Man, love his game! Now that's a deal I would be interested in. I can't understand at all how the C's think Tatum is a better player than Brown. Brown is a straight dog, and a player I would trust a lot more to put the team on his back and carry them to a win versus Tatum. And I think he would be the ideal off-guard to Melo. He doesn't require the ball in isos to get his production and he plays great defense, and if you need a bucket, more often than not, he's gonna get it for you.

I heard they wanted something like 7 or 8 first rounders. Even 3 is too much for me. Spida is a great player, but I'm not giving up that much compensation unless this is prime Curry or LeBron we're talking about. And really, how much of a difference is there between he and Terry, anyway? A 7 ppg difference on the same shooting? No thanks.

No doubt our coaching staff deciding we were just going to caveman it strategy-wise didn't help, but that's who we were every year under Rivera. I remember the Seahawks players stating that specifically when asked about us and they essentially said "They're not a team that adjusts or schemes per opponent. They say, 'this is what we do. Can you beat it?'" So yeah, that factored in. But we were damn good at what we did that year, and Cam was unstoppable. Yes there were matchup issues, but we were still the better team and we got absolutely hosed and no one will ever tell me any different. Every time we gained the slightest momentum, Blakeman and his punk ass crew would call a phantom penalty to out us in a situation that allowed Miller and Ware to pin their ears back and have a field day, KNOWING that our biggest flaw was the tackles. Add to that the Cotchery call, them letting Aqib almost rip Philly Brown's head off and not getting thrown out, them letting them run offside on a crucial FG attempt with no call, them not getting called for blatant holding all game but we do anytime we break off a play or convert for a first down, and yeah... I can see why Wolfe felt that was the easiest game ever. And as a guy who has been a Manning fan since following him in college, he was pathetic that year. He could barely get the ball 15 yards downfield. The league handed them that chip before they even got off the bus and used the biggest platform possible to humble/humilaite Cam to send a message in favor of the old guard. Never forget... when is the last time you saw a player forced to give their post game presser right next to a guy from the other team bragging about how easily they just beat you, and after a Super Bowl to boot?? That was the biggest sham in the history of sports. Period. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if a disgruntled employee surfaces years from now and reveal a Tim Donaghy-style fix was in for that game, because it's no doubt in my mind there was.

Damn, son! I have also did a good number on myself over the years with sports, but I've been able to avoid the surgery stuff and hope to keep it that way. Best of luck to you though, brother! Wishing you a routine procedure and quick and speedy recovery!

No thanks to both. Funny enough, I recently just found out, after tweaking my back yet again while doing squats at the gym, that I have a degenerative disc in my lower/lumbar area. It seems we are two peas in a pod.

I think it'll shake out where TMJ and/or Shi take the primary slot reps by the time the reg season gets here. Much like it's been with other positions, Rhule is playing his favorites first so it's their position to lose... he's been pushing Saunders since last preseason. Nothing against him, but from what I've seen of him, I don't see any possibility he hangs onto that spot.

Never had surgery, but have had shoulder issues since my 20s. Played a whole basketball season in Juco with a sprain/strain and it was excruciating. So, the fact he was playing football with one is insane. I can't imagine how bad the surgery must feel.

I dont think it's even that. I think it really is all about Tepper controlling the image/brand and message.

Yeah, I would ignore his 2021 stats altogether, and not as an apologist... he literally was playing with one shoulder and incredible pain all season, all while, as you said, dealing with coaching and teammate issues.

Also, was really hoping to hear more from TMJ this season. Pretty disappointed two days in.

Not understanding this charade at all. Yall had all last season to try BC at LT and you didn't want to. But now, with a widely-regarded franchise LT on the roster, let's pretend we're gonna a play BC over him! Only grace I'll give the staff is Campen wasn't here last year, so he may want a look at everybody, but other than that, fug all that.

It's the same garbage he did last year. Smh... I really wish they would quit wasting reps on him.

People keep bringing up how Baker didn't perform with so many weapons in Cleveland, but honestly 1) he did when healthy, as his 2020 season is severely overlooked by most, and 2) he did NOT have a weapon like DJ, ever. Landry is a great route runner but most people on this board walk faster than he runs and OBJ has been living off of his rep from his first three seasons with Giants ever since... he never had a WR the caliber of DJ. And to be honest, when Robbie is ON, he is far better than Landry as well. Baker is going to look better and better the more reps he gets and the more comfortable he gets with the playbook. Love the early results!

Can't wait for Tepper News Network to throttle the information flow!

That's ehat makes me believe this is a move to lessen his load from the staff because they know he's physically ready or just really doing it with an overabundance of caution as proactive maintenance?

Yeeeeeah, there goes that... dammit.

This right here is why people, including myself, are so hyped about "a 3rd round pick." That is ridiculously beautiful, and there aren't many QBs that can do it. If he can get the mental aspect down of the game, it is a huge tactical advantage.

Has barely played over the last 3 seasons due to injury, but Fitt said we're still looking for a traditional pass rusher and he could be had for cheap I would imagine. Also, reading the tea leaves, I think Dunlap is going to sign but I figure he's waiting for TC to wrap up first.

Is it just me or was this an extremely underwhelming amount of coverage/reporting from camp today?

Thanks, bro! And glad y'all have got through it, too! And I agree, the BA.5 strain is so easily transmitted, and apparently it can even reinfect people it has already infected before. I experienced symptoms I had never had before with a cold or flu bug. Weird stuff like spiking a fever in minutes, then it returning to normal and coming back the next night. I went to the ER at one point just to be cautious because of numbness, fatigue, and weakness, and the whole waiting room was packed and every bed was taken, so I just went home and felt much better the next day. But, I have never seen the ER here that packed. Hopefully it continues to evolve into a less severe version of itself and everything and everyone can get back to complete normalcy.
