Observations from camp today...

[Jeremy Igo]

- Ian Thomas continues to look like a legit NFL tight end. He has to work on finishing plays still, but man is there potential. He almost caught a nice TD at the end of practice but had it pushed out of his hands by Donte Jackson.

- DJ Moore got dinged up a bit today on a play, at which point I nearly passed out. Please no more of that stuff.

- Cam Newton gave a long motivational speech before practice. HE said he could decide to wake up and be Captain Munnerlyn, or he could wake up and decide to be outstanding. LOL

- I'd really like to see Tyler Larsen get work at starting left guard, but Amini still pretty much has that position entrenched.

- Cam and CMC are talking more now between plays than they used to. Getting that chemistry going even more I reckon.

- Byrd still is hot and cold. Had a pretty bad drop today in team drills. I don't think his roster spot is a sure thing but it is probably likely.

- Luke made a beautiful move on the ball today and deflected it away from Greg Olsen. The NFL refs in attendance called defensive holding, at which point Luke gave him an earful. Mid season form already.

- There were about 6 people lined up with Peppers jerseys on the fence wanting them signed, Pep smiled and walked by. I explained to the folks he is probably the most shy person on the squad. Don't take it personal.

- The secondary is still giving the passing game all it can take at this point. I am starting to think Donte Jackson wins that second CB role. He is improving at a good clip.

- I am seeing more two tight end sets than in recent memory.

- CMC continues to show his running is evolving. Much left shifty dancing, much more hit the hole fast and run like hell.

Nice! Thanks for that as always. 

We need two tight ends to compensate for that terrible o-line.

excellent

Control yourself, sanjay

Something about two tight ends excites me. Heh. 

[PandaMan]

Donte is gonna take that DJax nickname from DeSean at this rate.  All aboard the hype train!!

Rivera honestly go to hell for giving amini a starting spot. He is gonna get Cam killed. And to put him next to the biggest joke of a tackle in the league is  inexcusable.

@Jeremy Igo

How has Poe looked.  I havnt seen his name brought up in anyones practice reports.

But Jordan Rodriguez was glowing on him in a interview

Outside of the injuries and the left side OL shenanigans, which we expected, I feel like we're having a really good camp. Hopefully it translates into the season, and we figure out the OL poo or Ron is forced to try other guys.

Amini has photos of Rivera--I dont see how you get better by getting worse at any position. 

Bradberry seems to be better--the new scheme and less blitzing will help.  Jackson is playing like a guy who expects a starting role.

Jackson / Bradberry / Seymour /  Elder / Doss / Munnerlyn  / Gunter--I like group.

 

QUESTION:  HAS HALL DONE ANYTHING AT ALL?
