Went to the last day of OTA practices today. I have quite a few vids to upload, mostly of 11 on 11 and 7 on 7 drills. Here are a couple of random thoughts/observations:

- Saw Beason spending the majority of his time lining up at WLB today with Connor in the middle and Andersen at SLB.

- Neither Steve Smith nor DeAngelo were at practice today.

- Jonathan Stewart was there but didn't participate.

- Captured some video of an interesting special teams drill where players were practicing blocking punts with a soccer ball, perhaps in honor of the world cup?

- The Big Cat was at practice today in his golf cart. Fox spent quite a bit of time in the cart watching practice with him.

- Bernardeau worked at RG with the first team.

- They spent quite a bit of time in practice today having a couple of guys kick field goals under the watchful eye of John Kasay. Have a vid of a guy hitting one from the 40.

- None of the QB's looked particularly sharp in the 11 on 11 and 7 on 7 drills.

- Say what you want about Fiametta's play, but he's a rock... team was doing running drills at the end of practice and most of the guys went shirtless including Ed Johnson...:yikes: Fiametta was easily the most impressive physical specimen of all the shirtless players (no homo).

- Armanti Edwards looks very natural catching kicks, it's true that there's nobody running at him looking to rip his head off, but when compared to Capt. and Kenny Moore he looked just as if not more comfortable.

- ESPN's John Clayton (aka the Crypt Keeper) was in attendance today and was interviewing Fox on the way out of practice. Yes, he's as creepy looking in person as he is on TV.... LOL

- Both Louis Leonard and Tank Tyler spent quite a bit of time working with the trainer on different rehab type exercises after practice.

- Saw Tony Pike in the team store after practice, assume he was buying gifts to bring home with him.

As I said, got quite a few vids which I will post ASAP.

Steve Reed posted a short report today talking about how Greg Hardy destroyed the rest of the d-line in conditioning runs today. I wonder if that's a sign that he's committed to becoming a player or that his skill set is not an ideal fit for d-line.

Oh and Beason is the man FYI... he made a point to go right down the line of every person that was waiting outside of practice and shake hands, sign autographs, take pictures, etc, etc...

Printed out 2 Jonathan Stewart custom Madden 11 covers, got one signed by him and gave him the other... did the same with Clausen and an NCAA 11 custom cover... hope I didn't just put the Madden curse on guys? My line of thinking is that the Madden curse only applies to the official cover, not an unofficial cover... LOL

well, the only thing that bothers me is he shouldn't be blowing Brown out of the water in conditioning runs....outside of Brown I don't see anyone who I would be surprised would be trailing.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
