How was seeing Shepard in real time? And any other nuggets of value?

He had one very Ginn-like drop. But I won't be too harsh. Even Jerry Rice dropped passes. The fact is that when the QBs decided to actually make good throws to Shepard yesterday, he was consistently open and consistently made 1st down catches. I'm not sure what else anyone could ask for. My untrained eyes also noticed that in many situations he would have got some serious YAC. 

As for other players...

- Funchess is really impressing me. He was also consistently open and/or boxing out defenders and then making the catch. Needs to keep it up, but I like the direction he's heading.

- KB is noticeably struggling with his mother's passing. He had a few more bad drops yesterday. Then again, he also had some plays only our lovable KB can make. I think he'll be fine. We should all be patient with him.

- Bradberry has taken the opportunity of KB's struggling to shine. Every time I see them matched up, it's a contested pass and if Bradberry can do that to KB, he just might be able to do it to Julio Jones.

- CMC is just as impressive in real life as he is in online videos. The kids feet never quit moving and he is so quick and fluid. He's gonna make our defense really fugging good, and he's gonna be a nightmare for our opponents. I look forward to full contact practices to see how he will do when the defense can really hit him. Methinks a lot of them will bounce off lol

- Cam is making some spectacular throws for a guy coming off shoulder surgery and trying to ease back in. As Igo posted last night, Cam is definitely throwing receivers open. And using check downs when necessary. His mental game was alittle rusty, not being able to pick up on reads and such. That's what caused his picks yesterday, but Cam has that problem every year the first week of camp and he always gets it worked out by the regular season. Not worried. I'm just glad he isn't struggling with power or touch on his passes. And those roll-outs we saw yesterday are really gonna help our offense. Add that to our already hard to defend option running game and to talents like Samuel, CMC, and Shepard and our offense is gonna be nearly impossible to predict.

- the biggest thing I see is focused energy. They guys are having fun, but not too much. They are relaxed, but not lazy. They are energetic. They seem to have mojo again this year. Haven't seen a lot of chippiness, but I know there already has been a scuffle a few days ago. I think they know they can win it all this year and they are laser focused on doing so. Gives me a lot of hope. I wouldn't call it swag yet. But I'm sure if we get off to a fast start, the swag will come quick. 

More to come today Saca! I'll be at camp again this morning.

Looking forward to your updates.  You should think of writing a full topic with your observations....  Great stuff.  Enjoy!

      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.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      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.
