Fitt on the draft and off-season…

Cool interview. Some notes

- Gives a little more detail on the visit with Mingo. Him and Morgan were just overall really impressed with how he generally carried himself and the presence he maintained in the conversation. Apparently Mingo likes to fish and ride horses. Maybe Luke and him can go fishing sometime, lol.

- Liked DJ Johnsons motor off the edge

- Likes the receiver room right now and sounds really impressed with Marshall in OTAs, said something about coaches coming in to him and being surprised at how good Marshall was (presumably OTAs is the first time any of the new staff has gotten on the field with them). Also mentions Shenault as "really coming on". 

- When the fact we didn't draft a TE's brought up, he brought up Tremble and how young he is, and how young he was coming out. Sounds like we might be planning to keep developing Tremble behind Hurst.

-Likes the UDFA class as a whole and thinks 5-6 might push for a roster spot. Talked a little bit about Eku Leota specifically

 

All sounds great, I'll believe the TMJ and Tremble when I see it though, sounds like typical spring coach/gm speak, they're never going to sit there and say "our players suck and we need better ones" and they're always going to talk up those guys that people know are in make or break seasons.

I fully expect the TMJ talk to continue all summer long too and through camp, that happens every year with that type of player, anyone remember David Gettis?  According to the staff and reporters, guy was a spring through summer monster who disappeared come Week 1.

I think the only way Shi makes this team is by another guy getting injured.  

The minute we signed Damiere Byrd again the writing was on the wall.  Byrd is a better receiver and returner.

Also don't have to worry about Byrd off the field. I don't care about weed but the gun and speeding was stupid

Gettis actually had a pretty promising rookie season, then he blew his ACL and was out of the league shortly after.

I was actually kinda surprised to hear Tremble's age. Dude is still very, very young. He had to have been barely 20 when he was drafted.

Why do we keep hearing about how close Nicole Tepper is to certain players. It was tough on Nicole trading DJ Moore? It’s fugging weird.

Who do you think she wants to sleep with? Young athletic players, or fuging Tepper. You know he’s cucking in the corner.

5-6 UDFAs might push for a roster spot---Leota named.  This is what we were saying earlier, when some of you were rude and insulting us for praising the UDFAs.  Ha ha.  We were right, you were wrong.  Ha ha.

Yep.  I guarantee you that 2 or more make the roster.  You have my word.

This. 
 

Probably 1/3 or more of the TEs drafted this year are older than Tremble.

Love seeing the bit about Tremble. 

Thought he had potential, but was far from a finished product. After seeing us bypass one of the deepest and most talented TE classes of late, made me think that this coaching staff sees something. At least push it out a year with Hurst here and see what they have with Tremble. 

We know Reich likes his TEs to be able to block and T2 is well balanced .

He's got all the physical tools, he definitely seemed very young on the mic'd up stuff. The TE room last year overall seemed like zero pressure to succeed or take their jobs seriously so hopefully Brown will scare them straight

Why? We have fans still attached at the hip to Cam Newton. You don't think owners are fans?

Richardson's favorites led to Gettlemen getting fired. Owners are very close to some players

Shi has been seriously disappointing.

He was a 6th round pick. The fact he contributed at all is a win.

I really wanna see the new staff use Laviska on some down the field routes instead of the stupid orbit motion pass McAdoo only used him for last year. Dude is a nightmare for DB's to try and consistently tackle.
