Winners and Losers - Mini Camp Day 1

[Zod]

Winners:

Edwards - possibly the most impressive offensive player on the field not named Steve Smith

Porter - Showed very soft hands and an acrobatic catch on the sideline.

Sutton - First string snaps.

Clausen - Took a lot of snaps with the second string already, has more zip on the ball than anyone else

Losers:

Goodson - Beaten out for the 3rd rb spot

Cantwell - looks like the odd man out already

Kenny Moore - Watch your back, Edwards is closing quick

Things that cannot be assessed while watching minicamp:

run defense

rushing the passer

pass blocking

run blocking

basically anything that requires actual physical contact, as it is not allowed until actual training camp in July.

Not bad for a guy who made you want to stab your scrotum.

I know, I know, you hated the trade not the player, but still...couldn't resist.

[Zod]

Yeah but to be fair I enjoy it a bit.

[Pumpkin King]

Glad to see Edwards did well. I'm hoping the trade pays off in the long run.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Yeah but to be fair I enjoy it a bit.

Well, everyone has their thing I suppose.

[DynastyRTR]

I hope Armanti turns into a 2011 2nd rd pick...

Hey Zod how did Tony Pike look? Oh and what about Charles Godfrey, do you think he can fill the Hitman's shoes?

[Zod]

T-Pike looked rather ordinary. Threw a lot of ducks.

No, didn't get a chance to watch Godfrey.

No, didn't get a chance to watch Godfrey.

How is that his fault?

They should have given him footballs.

I doubt Godfrey is going to replace Harris, pretty sure Martin will fill those shoes.

Edwards needs to get in the weight room..lol

[necroplasm]

Everette Brown looking more beefed up eh?

Yeah, I was pissed we got him at first, because I think Moore earned the job by helping rescue our season last year.

But I got looking at some of his highlights.... the kid can zing the ball, and is scary accurate. He also seems to throw very well on the run. Which is something we've never really had.

His college play looks like a mix between Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Not bad things to see in a guy.

If he can maintain that arm, and get something going with our new regime of receivers... who knows... maybe he'll be our "Tom Brees" and bring that Lombardi home in a few years.

Granted... best case scenario, Moore does it next year... but I'm not putting money on that.

So was Porter lining up as the second string running back today?
