So what are we not seeing on the practice field?

I did see at least one bubble screen to Bersin. So yeah, maybe. 

That may be the dumbest play in the history of football. Even if nobody knows it's coming and nobody's within 20 yards of Bersin at the snap, that play will not have a good outcome. Can't believe we how many times we tried it on 3rd down in 2014...

From watching the players speak to the media at the press conference, I got the sense they were excited ( Especially JStew) but tight lipped..as they should be.

Yes, I was impressed.  Stew was quite cautious in what he said.  Not only about the playbook, but private meeting room conversations.  Good for him.

If we dont have sets with CMC/ Stew and CMC/Samuel together in the backfield planned for the regular season, fire Shula now.

CMC/Samuel in particular excites me. Both guys can take a handoff from the backfield, run a route from the backfield, or motion out wide and become a WR. IMO, those two in the backfield together gives us our most intriguing matchup issues for defenses, particularly with Olsen in the slot. On paper, you have a 2 RB, 1 TE, 2 WR set. Most teams will counter this with either their base D or nickel. What in reality might be coming at them could be the equivalent of a 5 wide set. We may still not have a great WR corps on paper, but we definitely have some offensive weapons that should really excite offensive coaches. I really wamt Samuel to get healthy soon...

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
