I saw TD coaching up Shaq a good bit. During LB drills Shaq was lining up against Glanton so I think they are the 2 frontrunners to start next to Luke and TD. Shaq looks big enough for LB and definitely bigger than a safety should be.

 

Funchess is a tall man. Funchess looked to get more run with the 1s than Bersin or Corey Brown. Looked to have good chemistry with Cam already but Cam looked pretty good generally so could just be a good day for Cam. 

 

Those were the 2 rookies I was really watching. And Artis-Payne really didn't stand out to me amongst our deep rb group.

truth. A few notes. 

Shaq looks great, fast and strong, good hands too in drills but still no pads so its hard to judge LB with no pads.

Funchess was quiet and didn't really show anything great yet. He got pushed around some ,didn't catch much either, outside of individual drills with no coverage. Byrd looked awesome as far as fast as poo. That dude can book. 

I disagree about artis-payne he looked good with quick cuts and good legs. Todman was fast but again no pads do they can just run run run.

Didn't notice mayo or the new lineman...that should speak volumes.

But again no pads most of these guys look better or worse because of it. Though I'm extremely excited even with the few missteps. I can't wait to see them play with pads!!

Please take this with a grain of salt...I was not impressed with Shaq today. 

I know he is a little behind the curve because of the idiotic quarter system rule that held him out of OTAs.  With that said I saw a lot of looking around.  A lot. Whenever the LBs lined up for drills he continuously was looking over at Glanton to make sure he was doing things right.  It just didn't feel natural to me. Maybe he's just learning and trying to do things right but it looked to me as if he was mirroring what everyone else was doing instead of just doing the drill naturally. 

Speaking of Glanton, I was sure it was going to be him, Luke, and TD lining up with the 1st string.  But he wasn't, AJ Klien got 1st string reps instead on the weak side.

Funchess...2 blatant drops, now that surprised me. 

It's easy to point out the mistakes but the 3 guys I was impressed by were Byrd on kickoff returns and Ward during running back drills and Artis-Payne did really when his number was called.

Again, it's early and they're rookies so let's see how the rest of training camp goes and some presason games.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
