Seems teams are banning players from Tweeteringing (wtfever it is) while at camp.

SOME are going so far as to ban Media from Tweeterianing as well.

ESPN is cracking down on their reporters tweeting opinions.

Adam_Schefter Giants were ultra Twitter friendly. Others? Not so much. Nine teams have banned practice tweets: Atl, Buf, Cin, Ind, KC, NE, NO, StL, Sea

Adam_Schefter Add Detroit to list of NFL teams that ban media from twittering from practice. That's 10 teams all together. That's unnecessary something.

It's very interesting to see how this will play out.

While it's only 120 letters or so, some decent info can flow out of camp.

Look how fast Kemo's injury was announced.

If a team wanted to keep something under wraps, it would be next to impossible right now.

I thought that there was an NFL edict stating no live blogging from practices? Wouldn't Tweeting seem to follow that policy? I do think it was silly of SD to fine Cromartie for whining about the food. I would fine guys for putting out injury type info other than what was publicly released by the team or talking about team policies or such (be it blog or twitter), but not something petty like that.

Maybe it will work to a teams advantage as we progress. John Fox can come up with some disinformation about smith or Peppers being hurt and then Bam! They are on the field for the game. the FF people would hate this though.

and poo like that.

Yeah they don't need video dudes anymore. Gotta find something for those peeps to do! :P

To Inimicus: Pats routinely limit reporters access to their practices in preseason and reg season. They are famous for allowing reporters to see only lame chit like stretching as their allotted portion.

That's cheating!

j/k

I think they can ban players from tweeting during working hours (practices, meetings) and discussing actual team news.

But they can't ban reporters from tweeting (except during live games I think.)

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
