"As the highest round tackle that GM Dave Gettleman has ever drafted, Moton has so much expectations on his shoulders."

replace "so much" with "great."

Not only that, but "so much" should be "so many." It's also incorrect because you can't use "so" without following eventually with "that."

Also the second part of the sentence has nothing to do with the first. Every player has expectation on his shoulders. How does that specifically apply to being the highest tackle ever drafted by Gettleman?

A better sentence would be:

Because he is the highest tackled ever drafted by GM Dave Gettleman, he has expectations on him different than previous later round picks.

Don't care.

if you're gonna force people to click through more slides than paragraphs you've written, you should at least hire a copy editor.

I will do it for free!

I just took the GRE earlier this year. I got 168 on verbal, and 5.5 on written.

Don't ask about math.

Great pix and observations, thanks Jeremy.

LOL at the discussion.  I've worked as a copy editor..., so I confess I noticed a few typos, etc.

BUT loved how this rookie camp has got you waxing poetic!

"hopes are high and optimism can almost be seen, floating like a fog just above the green turf "

Awesome stuff.

I think the word meticulous describes you well KB.

Back to football, and not just discussing words...

Very excited to know Samuel is flashing such talent.  The combo of Cam, CMC & Samuel seems like it could be something fantastic to rejuvenate this team on offense.

It's good to hear that right from the start they're giving Moton snaps at LT.   With Oher's situation so shaky and uncertain, this is important.  I hope this kid can handle it and will provide us some added depth at LT.  Perhaps he helps up the competition at 2 spots, not just RT.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight.

      I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
