Training Camp Coverage - You Tell Me


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Starting Friday I will be attending every practice for a week.

 

I will once again be posting photos in the patent pending daily story time threads as well as conducting player interviews and twittering here and there.

 

So I have a few question for you all.

 

1. What do you look forward to most about training camp coverage

 

2. What do you least enjoy about training camp coverage (tweets, photos, redundant interviews, etc)

 

3. Do you have any particular positional matchup that you find most intriguing

 

4. Who are your dark horse players?

But seriously, you do a great job as it is already in covering TC.  Just keep doing what you normally do every year and keep us up to date with what you think is the most interesting.  I'm sure others will toss out some ideas i'm too lazy to think of right now.

Can't wait to see our new look secondary, Kony Ealy, and 2nd year Big Star.

Greg Olsen:

I think he's going into a breakout season. With a newly fixed WR group, I think Shula will feature Greg Olsen in a variety of ways. He will be Cam's go to receiver.

Dark horse players: Philly Brown, Bene Benwikere, and Carrington Byndom.

Matchup: STAR LOTULELEI vs. AMINI SILATOLU

1. LOVE the camp pics!!! I'll be attending a couple practices next week as well but the pics are always great!

2. Personally I don't like the redundant politically correct interviews....ask them some crazy questions to mix it up haha

3. Really interested In the Chase Blackburn/ AJ Klein battle and of course the chandler/bell scenario....and also if Melvin white takes the next step this year the whole secondary will be interesting to watch

4. Dark horse if you wanna call it that is bene benwikere, super interested to see how he develops, and also Robert Lester, again not really a dark horse as he was productive last year

You do a fantastic job not just with Training Camp but with everything you do for this site in general. Don't change anything.

I do second the pie question though. Once you know a man's favorite pie you know their character.

As far as mashups:

WR- Where is KB getting reps and how does he look? Underwood legit speed guy or camp fodder? Does one of King/McNutt look ready to contribute?

OT: for obvious reasons.

DE: Hows Kony look. Is Hardy in shape and taking his 13 mil serious on the field at least?

RB: Do we have the double trouble of old? How's Stew look? Fresh? And the kid out of Stanford. We know he can pass block but how are his hands and technique?

Josh Norman is my dark horse player. Will Smitty being gone could he be one of those players constantly berratted here and there?

If he could make a jump to play like he does in practice man oh man our already stout D could be that much better.

Well, I most enjoy your incredible photographs and commentary going along with each one.

I would love it if you could throw in some light hearted, offbeat questions instead of just all the same old canned questions.

I'm interested in Bell/Chandler and how Kony Ealy is developing, especially given the Hardy situation.

I think the dark horse is also Bene. Just have a good feeling about him.

Thank you for giving us all the goods J!

2 days until the gloriousness of football returns.....

1. Definitely excited to see some of the great pics you post.

 

2. I agree with most of the guys here in that the interviews can be crazy redundant, but some questions about the team chemistry would be good. 

 

3. The defensive backfield competition and of course O-line and WR battles are what intrigue me this year. Looking forward to seeing how Godfrey performs with moving back to the corner position, if the 'left-handed' theory holds any weight lol, and although we don't have any primadonas (or however you spell that) at the WR position that should make for the best position battle of camp.

 

4. Brenston Bersin, Lyndon Gaydosh, and Josh Norman are my dark horses. Every article I have read that mentions Bersin point out his precise route running and hard work. Gaydosh has peaked my interest since last camp and I'm hoping we've found yet another big hog mollie to add to the best D-line in all of football. And I think this is the year Norman finally puts it all together, it's either now or never and I'm hoping the light bulb has finally decided to turn on with him. 

 

That all being said I have always enjoyed your camp pics and posts. So continue doing things the way you have and you'll have a bunch of satisfied huddlers!

I love the photos. There is not much that I dislike about coverage.

Questions? Anything that can get the player out of cliche mode.

Camp battles I am most interested in will be Nickel, RG, OT, and FB. I'm kind of intrigued by Zordich.

I think Andrew Norwell could be a sleeper at LG and Zordich could emerge as our FB.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
