Per S.Reed. took all first team snaps today plus had first team reps this past friday. Dolphin game will be interesting to see what transpires. Tre Boston may be warming the pines if this continues. May the best man win.

Harper is the one that should be riding the pine. Boston is younger and better. One weakness of Rivera is not fielding the best 22 possible. 

Why does everyone assume that Boston is better than Harper? Boston has not looked impressive so far this off-season while Harper finished the season strong and had a good perfomance versus buffalo

I wouldn't say this is a common occurrence with Rivera but I do think Boston should be starting. He was terrific last season. I bet we see a rotation and injuries do happen so I doubt Boston rides the bench all year

you can disagree with who he picks but I assure you that he thinks he is picking the best 22 and his coaching staff agrees. So it isn't his opinion alone and if he thinks someone else is better he will be putting him in then. To assume he would not do it to protect vets is beyond stupid given he started 7 rookies in a playoff game which is a record. John Fox maybe but not Rivera

I'm on board with this. If anyone watches the preseason games over with a DVR and takes advantage of the pause, rewind,etc. and looks closesly you'll see a million more times what you thought you initially saw. I was a Harper hater last year because I saw him being to slow to make a play like everyone else here and there. That being said, after watching the SS run support after he left the game against Buffalo, it made the idea of him being the starter much easier to digest. 

Physical attributes only take you so far. Knowing how to diagnose a play, where to be at the right time can more than compensate for lacking in natural physical skill set or speed. 

Also I am more convinced that Rivera is willing to experiment and be thorough in his analysis of who the best guys to be on the field are, after seeing him give players different opportunties to run with the first string in camp and the multitude of different personnel packages we saw against the Bills.

Nice! He's been one of my favorite pickups since the day we signed him. Excited to see what he can do behind this defensive front of ours.  Love the tenacity he plays with.  He can get frustrating at times (Eagle fans know that) but he can really turn it on.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
