and no Larsen?

 

Tyler Larsen not practicing today. Daeshon Hall is back.

 

Tyler Larsen won’t be practicing. Think he tweaked a shoulder Sunday. Haven’t seen RKalil yet.

 

Curtis Samuel has his helmet on, appears ready to practice.

 

 

Derek Anderson (Oregon State) and Jairus Byrd (Oregon) catching up.

Thomas Davis and Julius Peppers do not appear to be practicing.

 

prob vet days

 

Practice gates closed. Haven’t seen Daryl Worley or Demetrious Cox. Sounds like an ankle may keep Cox back, so big role for Jairus Byrd.

really want to see samuel get more involved. seen a couple very nice glimpses and it looks like cam is ready to take advantage of him.

should be good, esp. if cam and the offense build on what we did against the pats.

need to get center healthy, though.

So Byrd is either going to be thrown straight into the fire or Colin Jones might be starting if Cox is out this week. That worries the hell out of me. I don't doubt Byrd is better than Jones all things being equal, but Byrd has to get up to speed on the playbook and defensive signals and he wasn't in anyone's camp or offseason program this year so he has to get his body ready as well. That could be really tough for him. No amount of training can simulate actual football.

Larsen not practicing is also bad with Kalil looking like he probably will miss one more week.

At least Seymour looked really good replacing Worley.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
